Plaža Žukotorlica 7C, Pebble beach near Bar, Montenegro
Plaža Žukotorlica 7C is a pebble beach near the town of Bar in Montenegro, in a coastal area called Žukotrlica. The shoreline runs in a long, open line, made up of rounded stones and larger pebbles, with low Mediterranean scrub and pine trees growing just behind it.
The area around Žukotrlica has long been tied to the sea and to the everyday life of coastal communities near Bar. The plants growing behind the beach were once actively used by local people, which is how the place got its name.
The name of this beach comes from "žukva," a shrub that once grew in the area and was soaked in seawater to soften it. Local people used it for weaving and rope-making, so the name carries a quiet trace of an old craft tradition.
The beach is easy to reach from Bar by car or on foot, and parking is available nearby. Sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented on site, so you do not need to bring much, though arriving early in the summer months helps you find a good spot along the shore.
Right next to this beach lies a stretch known as Crvena Plaza, or the Red Beach, named for its unusually colored sediment. Walking between the two in a single visit gives you a clear contrast between a long, open pebble shore and a small, sheltered cove with very different colors underfoot.
