Rosamund and David have been in touch to recommend two naturist beaches close to Montenegro’s most exclusive resort – Sveti Stefan. The15th century fishing village was transformed during the 1950s into a luxury hotel. The bare beaches are at “Crvena Glavica” and accessed through a laid-back textile campsite of the same name. There is a small fee for parking and entry to the nude beaches, which provide stunning views of Sveti Stefan. Rosamund and David enthuse about the beautiful surroundings but advise taking something comfortable to relax on the pebble shore.
