Bajova Kula
Bajova kula
A 100-metre pebble shore at Dražin Vrt on the Kotor–Risan road, named for Bajo Pivljanin’s tower above it, with Perast across the water.
Notre verdict
Bajova Kula is a pebble beach below the shore road between Orahovac and Perast, mapped by OpenStreetMap at Dražin Vrt beside the restaurant of the same name and the tower that gives it its name. It is a place for a swim on the way round the bay rather than a day out: no concession, a quick drop into deep bay water, and the view west to Perast and the Verige strait. The seed list places it under Kotor’s walls; the map and the monument register both put it here, 11 km up the coast.

À savoir avant de se baigner
- The M-1 shore road runs directly behind the beach with no pavement on this stretch — walk and cross with care
- Mussel-farm float lines lie offshore all along this coast: do not swim through them
- A pebble shore that drops quickly, no lifeguard and no marked swimming zone on the map
- The car park beside the beach is the restaurant’s private one — do not count on it in July and August

Questions
- Is Bajova Kula the swimming platform beside Kotor’s Old Town walls?
- No. Bajova kula — Bajo’s tower — is the 17th-century tower of Bajo Pivljanin at Dražin Vrt, between Orahovac and Perast, and the beach named for it lies on the shore below the tower. OpenStreetMap and the Kotor municipal plan both place it there, about 11 km from the Old Town by the shore road.
- How do I get to Bajova Kula without a car?
- The Kotor local buses run along the shore road towards Perast and Risan; the stops on this stretch have shelters but no names on the map, so ask the driver for Dražin Vrt or the Bajova Kula restaurant.
- Is the water tested here?
- Not at this beach. The nearest Morsko Dobro sampling station is Orahovac 01, 2.5 km south, which was rated Excellent at every 2026 sampling; the bay is one body of water, but read that as an indication, not a result for Dražin Vrt.
