Pržno
A 260-metre village beach of sand and pebble with fish restaurants at the water’s edge, a Poor result and bathing ban in July 2026 and Excellent results ever since.
Our verdict
Pržno is the fishing village between Bečići and Miločer where the tables reach the sand: 260 m of sandy, partly rocky shore by the tourist board’s figure, a stone promenade of about 270 m opened in 2022 and restaurants that double as beach bars. It is more Mediterranean village than resort, and it fills by late morning in summer. The July 2026 water episode is the reason to read the monitor before you swim; the results were Excellent again from 4 August to 1 September.

Season by season
Pržno has been sampled 69 times since 2020: 61 of those readings Excellent, 8 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.
