About FKK Jaz Beach
Jaz is one of the largest beaches on the Budva Riviera, a curving bay of fine sand and small pebbles about 2.5-3 km west of Budva old town. The main part of the beach is a busy summer beach with sunbed concessions, bars and a lively nightlife scene with bars and clubs nearby. The beach is divided into two parts, and the smaller, more secluded part, beyond the main sections and surrounded by greenery, has long been the place where naturists bathe. A campsite listing describes the beach as about 1.2 km long with a smaller part reserved for naturists. The water is clean and shallow near the shore, and the bay is sheltered. Nude use is traditional rather than clearly signposted, and guides say marking and tolerance vary from year to year, so it is worth checking on arrival. The naturist end is noticeably quieter than the main beach and suits people looking for a simple, uncrowded spot, though the music from the main beach and its bars can carry in high season.
Getting there
Jaz lies just off the Adriatic highway (E65/E80) between Budva and Tivat; turn off at the Jaz junction about 3 km west of Budva. There are paid car parks behind the beach and a campsite (Camping Jaz) near the bay. Local buses and minibuses between Budva and Tivat or Kotor stop at the turn-off, and taxis from Budva take a few minutes. Walk along the main beach to the second, more secluded part; the beach itself is flat and easy.
What visitors say
Guides and campers describe the far part of Jaz as a long-standing, informally used nude area that is quieter and greener than the busy main beach. Advice is to confirm on the day where nude bathers are, since the boundary is not always marked. Campers at the nearby site report that its sanitary blocks are in poor condition. In peak summer the main beach is crowded and noisy.

Legal context
Montenegro tolerates nudism but public nudity is only acceptable in naturist areas; outside them it can be treated as a public-order offence. Jaz's naturist part is a traditional, unofficial area and guides note that signage and enforcement vary (checked 2026). Stay within the secluded end and dress before walking back through the main beach.
Naturism at FKK Jaz Beach sits under Montenegro's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
