Counting the waves…
Imagine stepping onto a narrow strip of shoreline, where the gentle lapping of the Adriatic Sea provides a soothing soundtrack to your day. This isn't a sprawling resort beach, but rather a characterful section of the Donja Lastva promenade, a place where the everyday rhythm of Montenegrin life unfolds around you. You'll find families enjoying the cool water, couples strolling hand-in-hand, and the occasional fisherman casting a line. The beauty here lies in its unpretentious charm. The water, a clear emerald, invites you for a quick, invigorating swim, a welcome respite from the Mediterranean sun. Afterwards, dry off on the warm pebbles, perhaps with a gelato from a nearby kiosk, and simply soak in the atmosphere. The backdrop of terracotta roofs and verdant hills adds to the picturesque scene, making it feel less like a tourist spot and more like a cherished local secret. As evening approaches, the waterfront transforms. The golden hour paints the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the bay. It’s the perfect time for a leisurely walk, watching the lights of Tivat begin to twinkle across the water, a simple yet profound experience that captures the essence of coastal Montenegro.
