Ada Bojana, in Montenegro, is a one-of-a-kind place for people looking for a little adventure and a departure from the conventional experience you might find at nude beaches in Europe. It is well-known for its famed nudist beach, which draws visitors from all over the world.

The atmosphere is easygoing and pleasant, with a strong sense of community among frequent visitors.

The best areas are in the middle of the beach, where the beach is broader and the water is deeper. On the beach, there are no official vendors or amenities, although there are a few shacks where you may buy refreshments and food. There are a couple of restaurants and cafes nearby, including the famed seafood restaurants Galeb, Kod Ranka and the laid-back Porto Cafe.

Activities available on the island include windsurfing, kitesurfing, horse-riding and paddle boarding.
