Each in our own words

Kamenovo

Kamenovo is the bay the Budva riviera turns into once the Bečići strand ends: mixed sand and fine pebble, a gentle entry, buoyed water that tested Excellent at every 2026 sampling, and open views towards Sveti Stefan. It is a managed beach, not a secret cove, and better for it — two concessions, a bar under the palms, and the public-beach rules that keep half the length free of furniture.

Parking is the weak point and the coastal path from Rafailovići is exposed to rockfall after rain; in July and August the loungers fill long before the sand does.

Queen's Beach

Queen’s Beach is the small one: a crescent of fine pinkish sand and smooth pebble sheltered by cypresses and pines, with the calmest and clearest water on this stretch of the riviera. It is in the atlas because it is one of the few genuinely sandy coves between Budva and Petrovac and because the walk to it through the 18-hectare Miločer park is worth doing on its own. Whether you can swim from it depends on the year: open to everyone during the resort’s 2021–2026 closure, it went back to hotel-guest use when Sveti Stefan reopened on 1 July 2026, and the public settlement text does not publish the rules.

Do not build a day around a swim here: the cove is treated as a hotel beach from 08:00 to 20:00 in season and there is nothing for non-guests to hire. King’s Beach next door and the northern Sveti Stefan beach stay public.
