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.
Rafailovići
Rafailovići is not a separate bay but the compact eastern end of the Bečići strand, where the sand turns to pebble, the buildings crowd the headland and a 65 m mooring still lands and sells the catch. Its two managed sectors, 15D and 16A, follow the public-beach rules, and the quay restaurants — Porat, Tri Ribara, Obala, Aleksandar — are the reason many people come. East of the village the coast path runs under the layered rock of Cape Đevištenje and through a lit tunnel to Kamenovo in about ten minutes.
Road space is limited, parking is scarce and the restaurants sit close to the rooms above them; the beach itself is small, divided and busy in summer, and we hold no site-specific water result for it.
