Bijela

Bijela is a peaceful coastal town on the outer Bay of Kotor, long defined by its shipyard, one of the oldest on the Adriatic, which still gives the place a working, lived-in character rather than the polish of the resort towns. That honesty is part of its charm: alongside the maritime industry you find a quiet waterfront promenade, a handful of cafes and small family-run restaurants, and views across the bay toward the wooded Vrmac ridge. It is an unpretentious base for travellers who want the Boka's scenery and swimming without the crowds or the prices of Kotor and Perast.
