Rafailovići
The fishing-village end of the Bečići strand: two managed sectors, a working mooring, fish restaurants on the quay and the tunnel path to Kamenovo.
Our verdict
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.

Questions
- Is Rafailovići a separate beach from Bečići?
- No. Official material treats the whole 2,000 m shoreline as one divided strand; Rafailovići is its eastern end, with its own coded sectors, 15D and 16A, in the Budva register.
- How do I walk to Kamenovo?
- From the mooring go 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.
- How do I order fish on the quay?
- Fish is sold by weight and grilled with blitva and potatoes; ask the species, origin and price per kilo before it goes on the grill.
