Dobrota unspools along the bay north of Kotor's walls — a single ribbon of a settlement, several kilometres long and rarely more than a few houses deep, pinned between the water and the near-vertical slope behind it. It was a captains' village: the stone houses with their carved window frames and private landings were built on money made at sea in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the churches of St Eustace and St Matthew hold what that wealth paid for. A shoreline path runs south from here into Kotor, roughly half an hour on foot with the bay beside you the whole way.
Swimming is from concrete platforms and small pebble coves rather than sand, straight into deep, cold, very clear water. Restaurants along the road specialise in what comes out of the bay — mussels and oysters farmed off Ljuta, black risotto, whole fish grilled with olive oil and blitva. Kotor's Old Town, the Cathedral of St Tryphon and the long stepped climb to San Giovanni fortress make the obvious day out; boats leave the quay for Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks; and the serpentine road up to Lovćen begins just beyond the town gate.
