The division of public and private beaches in Kotor is rather conventional. Most of the beaches are not fenced, so you can wander onto the beach belonging to a hotel. In this case, you will have to rent a sunbed and umbrella, otherwise, you will be politely "asked" to leave the beach.
Renting beach accessories here can be costly, ranging from 25-100 EUR for an umbrella and 2 sunbeds on private beaches. On public beaches, you don't have to rent beach accessories, and prices are much more affordable, typically around 5 EUR for a day on a sunbed in the Mediterranean sun.
When choosing which beaches in Kotor to visit, it's worth bearing in mind that almost all of them are small. The standard width of a local beach is 10-15 meters, and its length is up to 1 km. Many beaches can be accessed from a pier or pontoon.
Often, neighboring small beaches differ from each other only by the presence of special infrastructure, such as unique cafes, and proximity to local attractions. Kotor offers a variety of beach types, including pebble, sandy, and sandy-pebble beaches.
