Full Description & Details

Uvala Trsteno is a small, sheltered anchorage on the Montenegrin coast near Krimovice in Kotor Municipality. The bay is deeply cut into the land, which shields it from large waves, the bura, and the jugo. Its seabed is sand, and the beach itself is about 200 meters long, covered with fine sand.

The water is clear and blue, and the surroundings remain largely untouched. This is a quiet spot for a stopover rather than a developed port.
