Hotels on Velika Plaža (Long Beach), Ulcinj
Velika Plaža — Long Beach, Plazhi i Madh — runs for about 13 km from Port Milena to the Bojana river. It is the longest beach on the Adriatic east coast and one of the shallowest: the water stays knee-deep for tens of metres, which is why families with small children choose it. The beach itself is protected and largely undeveloped, so the hotels stand behind the coastal road in Štoj and Donji Štoj, a short walk from the sand.
Check availabilityHotel La Rosa Negra is one of them: about 2 minutes on foot from the water, with an outdoor pool, half board included in every rate, free WiFi and a 60-space private garage. Many rooms have a balcony facing the sea. The Old Town, Ulcinj's restaurants and the bus station are 4–5 km away — a 10-minute drive or a summer beach bus.
