Each in our own words
Mogren I
Mogren I is Budva’s prettiest swim and its most exposed: about 180 m of fine sand under a rock wall, clear water, and the Old Town a ten-minute cliff walk away. It is the cove the path reaches first and the busier of the two, with a concession and a lifeguard in season; Mogren II, through the tunnel at the far end, is always quieter. The setting is the point, and so is the price of it — the path closes in a southerly, there is no road, and the concessions are the only services.
The cliff path is unsafe in a southerly wind or big waves and its gate is locked in rough seas; when the concessions close for weather, stay out of the water — a swimmer drowned in the second cove in July 2026 after they had shut.
Mogren II
Mogren II is what people walk to Mogren for and then keep walking to reach: about 170 m of coarse pale sand under the same cliff, a tunnel between it and the first cove, and noticeably fewer people for two minutes more effort. One concession runs loungers here; there is no road, no bus and nothing else. It is also the more exposed of the two, and the one without a lifeguard on our list.
There is no lifeguard recorded on this cove, only on the first. When the concessions close for weather, nobody is watching the water: a swimmer drowned here in July 2026 after they had shut. The only way in and out is the tunnel from Mogren I.
