Žanjice, Beach at Luštica Peninsula, Montenegro.
Žanjice is a beach on the Luštica Peninsula stretching about 300 meters of white pebbles and facing the Adriatic Sea. Surrounding olive, pine, and eucalyptus trees create a natural setting between the water's edge and inland.
The Luštica Peninsula was a site of trade and defense throughout ancient times as different powers sought control. Its coastal location made it an important point for those managing the Adriatic routes.
Olive groves surrounding the beach are woven into daily local life and shape how the landscape looks and feels. Visitors can observe how the trees are tended and sense the deep connection between people and this agricultural tradition.
The beach has sun loungers and umbrellas available to rent, with restaurants and cafes along the shoreline. The best time to visit is from May through September when the weather is warm and the sea is comfortable.
Boat trips depart from here to visit the Blue Cave and Mamula Island, which has an old Austrian-Hungarian fortress. These excursions let visitors explore historical sites and natural wonders in a short time.
