Took a 3 Euro boat ride to the island for a beach day. Very nice. The boat fare is return so keep your ticket. The beach is really stony. You need shoes or flip flops otherwise it’s really painful on your feet. Good bar and restaurant but they play music all day. If you want peace and quiet go to another beach.
For 3€ each return this island is definately worth a visit. Far more relaxed and much cleaner than the hectic crazy beaches on Budva. You pay €10 for 2 beds and a parasol, and can bring your own drinks & food unlike on main beach. The beds are also comfy and are a nice distance apart so it doesn't feel too crowded. We sat on the beds right by the walkway as you get of the boat (ones with the green/white Heineken parasols) and we had a lovely 2 days. I recommend you bring some shoes for the sea as there are big rocks/pebbles as your get in plus we noticed a few sea urchins on the sea bed which are painful and sharp if you accidentally stand on them. There are a couple of huts on the island for snacks (pancakes & pastries) and there is a guy that walks up and down the beach from the bar taking drinks orders if you felt lazy and fancied a cold beer or a soft drink. We recommend a trip here whilst in Budva if you want to get away from the crazy crowds and mad music!
In a peek of tourist season while almost all beaches in Budva are like dirty garbages we really hoped that this place should be cleaner and better as it takes some time to go there also you need to pay 3 euro for the ship and people are lazy. So we bet it will be the way to escape this hive but we were wrong. Beach is same dirty, also the entrance to the water is just worst you could ever imagine, big slimy stones where you can break your feet. Don’t ever go there with small children you will have no possibility to walk on a water around them to keep them safe. Swimming is only possible you jump in a water and swim fast where is deeper.
Don’t recommend this place as a beach if only you want to make some photos
If you're looking for something slightly less crowded than Mogren then this is a solid option. Clear water (bring swim shoes) and sun bed with umbrella option (€10). There are restaurants on site but it's cheaper and quite easy to take your own food. Toilets cost 50c so bring change. The Boats are €3 return and are fairly regular (obviously more crowded later on and no way of formally queuing so there can be a bit of herding but it's minimal). All in all worth the day trip.
You can get the boat to St Nicholas from various places along the beach in Budva. It only takes around 10 minutes and is 3 euros return. There is a good selection of cafes, with nice shaded seating areas. The beaches are very stoney, and I was quite amused watching people without beach shoes struggling to get into and out of the sea! Unless you have very tough soles, beach shoes are a must!
At least four different beach lines to choose. Nice restaurant that serves good food. Beautiful place over all. Easy to take a boat from Budva. To way ticket was 3€. Clean toilets that cost 0,50€.
