Each in our own words
Lipci
This is the "hidden beach" of the Lipci guide: no name, no map symbol, a few metres of pebbles and flat rock below the rock-art site, and water the guide calls crystal-clear and deep enough to dive into from the rocks. The village itself has no hotel, no konoba and no shop, so the beach is exactly as empty as that sounds. Combine it with the drawings above — the reason most people stop at Lipci — and with Morinj, 1.7 km on, for lunch.
There are no facilities whatever, the scramble down is rough, and we could not measure or map the beach itself — the coordinates are the village, and the length is a description, not a figure.
Orahovac
Orahovac has no beach in the resort sense: the municipal plan says so plainly, and what it has instead is a string of small pebble coves between the old stone jetties, concrete quays to swim from, and water that the springs keep colder and fresher than anywhere else in the bay. The Morsko Dobro station here returned Excellent at all eight samplings in 2026. Nothing is managed and nothing costs; a couple of bars open in season, the oyster farm sells from the shore road, and the Kotor bus stops at the door.
Parking is private or customers-only and the water is genuinely cold near the springs; the coves are small, and in July and August a dozen swimmers fill one.
