Kamenovo
A 340-metre arc of sand and fine pebble reached through a tunnel in the rock, with the cleanest official water results on the riviera.
Our verdict
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.

Season by season
Kamenovo has been sampled 69 times since 2020: 64 of those readings Excellent, 5 below it.
How warm the water got, season by season. The average is of the July and August samplings only — a fixed window, so a year the inspectors happened to come early does not read as a cold one.
A handful of seasons is a record, not a trend: the spread here is what a few dated readings look like, not evidence of a sea warming or cooling. A hollow point marks a season that recorded a sampling below Excellent.

Questions
- How do I get to Kamenovo on foot?
- From the Rafailovići mooring, east along the shore past the layered rock of Cape Đevištenje, then along the concrete path under the cliff and through the lit tunnel — about ten minutes. Turn back if barriers are up after heavy rain.
- Is part of Kamenovo free?
- Yes. Both sectors are public-party beaches, so half the length must stay free of furniture, with a three-metre strip along the water and an access lane every twenty metres. Follow the marked layout on the day.
- Does Kamenovo have a Blue Flag?
- Both sectors, 17A and 17B La Suerte, are on the official 2024 list. The award is annual — check the flag on the beach or the international map for the current season.
