About this place
Ada Bojana is a triangular river island formed where the Bojana River splits before entering the Adriatic, at the southern tip of Montenegro's coast near Ulcinj. The island — roughly 1km on each side — has been a naturist destination since the Yugoslav era, when Adriatic naturism was actively promoted as a tourism product.
The beach wraps the southern and eastern sides of the island: the Adriatic beach faces southwest, the river beach faces east. The Adriatic side is the main naturist beach — a long, sandy, wave-exposed strand that is among the finest in the Adriatic. The island has basic restaurants and accommodation; the access road crosses a bridge from the mainland near Ulcinj. The setting — a wild river delta, flamingos and pelicans in the nearby Bojana wetlands, the Albanian Alps visible to the south — is extraordinary.
Ada Bojana is one of the longest nude beaches in the Balkans and the most important naturist site in Montenegro.

Who visits
Yugoslav-era regulars returning annually, Central European naturists, regional Balkan visitors, and adventurous travellers who have discovered Montenegro's less-visited south. Ulcinj has a predominantly Albanian-Muslim population; the naturist beach is a contained enclave with its own culture.
How to find it
From Ulcinj town (about 25km north of the island), take the road south toward the Bojana River mouth. Cross the bridge onto Ada Bojana island. The beach is on the south and west sides. No formal entry fee for the beach.
Things to watch out for
Montenegro summers are hot and dry — the Adriatic here regularly hits 26–28°C. The Bojana River current can be strong near the river mouth. Accommodation on the island is basic; Ulcinj town has more options.
