Best Anchorages in the Luštica Peninsula & Tivat Bay

Plavi Horizonti (Blue Horizons) is one of Montenegro's most beautiful beaches — a west-facing crescent of coarse sand on Luštica's wild W coast, backed by maquis-covered hillside and accessed only by a rough track or by sea.

Mirišta is a spectacularly beautiful cove on the southern tip of the Luštica Peninsula — wild, clear-watered, and framed by Mediterranean maquis and limestone rock faces.

Žanjic is arguably the most popular anchorage on the south Luštica coast — a beautiful cove with clear turquoise water, a pebble-sand beach, and just enough shelter from the NE to make it usable as an overnight stop in settled summer conditions.

Ploče is a scenic cove at the SW tip of the Luštica Peninsula — the very point where the peninsula meets the open Adriatic before turning N into the Bay of Kotor entrance.

Rose is a small traditional fishing village on the N coast of the Luštica Peninsula — inside the Bay of Kotor entrance and therefore sheltered from the open Adriatic, while still within easy reach of the wide outer bay and the Luštica's S coast anchorages.

Krtole is a quiet bay on the E coast of the Luštica Peninsula, tucked inside Tivat Bay with good mud holding and relaxed atmosphere.

Kavač is a sheltered anchorage in the inner part of Tivat Bay, immediately adjacent to Tivat airport and within 2nm of Porto Montenegro.

Lepetani is the W landing point of the Lepetani–Kamenari car ferry crossing — a continuous service connecting the two shores of the narrow Verige Strait, the pinch point separating the outer and inner Bay of Kotor.

Prčanj is one of the most historically significant villages in the Bay of Kotor — a remarkably intact Baroque waterfront of 17th and 18th century merchant palaces, churches, and stone quays built by the seafaring families who dominated Adriatic trade for centuries.

Stoliv is, for many experienced Adriatic sailors, the single most beautiful anchorage in the Bay of Kotor — a stone village terraced up a dramatic hillside of olive groves and cypress trees, with the Lovćen massif rising 1,749m directly above and the mirror-calm inner bay stretching away on both sides.
