The status is unclear, because we could not open the text of Montenegro's Law on Public Order and Peace to check how it treats nudity. The national tourism board does promote several nudist beaches, including the Ada Bojana resort near Ulcinj and a nudist swimming area at Jaz beach near Budva.[1]
Designated nude beaches or tolerance?
The national tourism board names Njivice near Herceg Novi, a beach on Sveti Marko island off Tivat, a nudist area at Jaz beach (marked 2G in the Atlas of Montenegrin beaches), Crvena glavica near Sveti Stefan, Ada Bojana and Borova šuma in Ulcinj as nudist beaches. We did not find the rules that govern these areas.[1]
