First day at Jaz: get to know your stretch of coast
Jaz beach, Montenegro
On arrival
Put away your luggage and find the actual route to the waterfront. Then choose a swimming spot and a shaded place for a break according to the conditions you find, without feeling obliged to explore the whole beach on your first day.
An activity suited to your experience
Aquaride at Gioia Beach offers water bikes with instruction. Montenegro+ has a longer SUP/kayak tour from Jaz intended for guests with previous experience. Open the activity details for contact information and participation conditions.
The rest of the day
After the beach, leave time for a meal. For an evening trip to Budva, arrange your return before setting off; for a quieter day, staying at Jaz is enough.

Jaz Beach
Jaz is a cove west of Budva with two sections of waterfront. The surface combines pebbles on the beach and sand in the water, but the entry to the sea is not the same along the entire coast. Before choosing your spot for the day, look at access, the waves and where you can take a break from the sun.
Getting to Jaz and transport to Budva
You can reach Jaz by car, taxi or the bus route listed by the Tourist Organisation on the Budva–Jaz–Trsteno–Ploče line. For a car-free trip, first arrange your return, then plan how long to stay at the beach.
SUP and kayak tour from Jaz
For more experienced paddlers, Montenegro+ offers a guided tour from Jaz towards Sveti Nikola Island and Budva. The organiser states around 10 km and approximately five hours in total, including around three on the water. This is not independent rental for beginners.
Water bike at Jaz — Aquaride
Aquaride at Gioia Beach offers a ride on a pedal-powered water bike. It is a shorter activity to complement a beach day, with instruction before departure and a life jacket provided by the organiser. The starting point is at Jaz, not Budva Town Harbour.
Mega Hipermarket 7 Jaz
Mega Hipermarket 7 is a larger shop in the Jaz industrial zone, beside the main road near Prijevor. It is useful for a bigger shopping trip on arrival, but it is not a shop right on the beach and you should not automatically plan to walk there.
