Žanjic & Mirišta
Sitting in a sheltered cove below the olive groves, Žanjic's 300m-long white pebbly
beach attracts up to 1000 people in the height of summer. Neighbouring Mirišta is con-

sand sits within a green horseshoe of scrub, pines and olive trees and is a definite candid-
ate for the title of Montenegro's best beach.
