Igalo's waterfront is the whole point of an address in the centre. The bay here is the western threshold of the Boka: look across and you see the low green ridge of Prevlaka on the Croatian side, with the Luštica peninsula closing the strait to the south. Concrete swimming platforms alternate with sand and shingle along the shore, and the water stays calm most mornings because the bay absorbs the open-sea swell. The promenade passes right by, so coffee, a swim and a walk toward town are decisions you make on the spot rather than plan.
Go east along the coast and you reach Savina, the monastery set among cypresses and olives above the water, its great church raised at the end of the 18th century, and then Herceg Novi's old quarter with its squares, sea gates and stairs. Go west and Igalo thins out toward Njivice, quieter and greener, with small coves between the houses. The fish restaurants along this stretch cook plainly, grilled sea bass, buzara, a carafe of Vranac, and the fruit stalls change over the season from cherries to figs to mandarins. Boat operators on the quays sell half-day trips out to the mouth of the bay.
