Jaz Beach: getting there by taxi from Budva and the airport, and getting back at night (2026)
In short
Jaz is the biggest beach near Budva, 5 km west on the road to Tivat: 1.2 km of sand and pebbles, a wide bay, paid parking, a restaurant and a campsite. A taxi from Budva is €6–9 per car, 10–15 minutes; from Tivat Airport 18 km and €45–60 at the terminal. The Blue Line Budva–Tivat bus stops on the highway above the beach, €1.50–2, then 10 minutes on foot downhill. There is no taxi rank at the beach: to get back in the evening, send a request through Budva Taxi App with the tariff estimate (a car from Budva takes 10–15 minutes) or call.
- Budva–Jaz: 5 km, 10–15 minutes, €6–9 by day, €9–12 at night. Bus €1.50–2 + 10 minutes on foot from the highway.
- Tivat Airport–Jaz: 18 km, 25–30 minutes, €45–60 at the terminal — cheaper than Budva.
- No taxi rank, no ATM — bring cash from Budva. Send the return request 15 minutes before you leave.

Where it is and where taxis stop
The turn-off for Jaz is on the Adriatic Highway between Budva and Tivat at the Jaz sign; the road drops to the car park behind the beach. Taxis take you to the car park by the restaurant (main entrance) or to the western end where the naturist section begins. From the bus stop on the highway it is 10 minutes downhill on foot, 15 back up with bags.
On summer weekends the car park is full from 11:00; a taxi drives to the entrance without hunting for a space — one argument against coming in a hire car.
From Budva and back
On the meter €6–9 per car from Slovenska plaža or the Old Town, 10–15 minutes. The Blue Line towards Tivat runs every 30 minutes in summer, €1.50–2 — ask the driver to stop at “Jaz”.
Getting back in the evening is the real question: there are no cars at the beach and the bus is sparse after sunset. Send a request in the app 15 minutes before you leave, noting “car park by the restaurant”; a driver from Budva arrives in 10–15 minutes. €9–12 at night.
From Tivat Airport — straight to the beach or the campsite
Jaz is closer to the airport than Budva: 18 km, 25–30 minutes, €45–60 at the terminal (Budva is €50–70). For the campsite and the apartments above the beach it makes sense to come straight here. From Podgorica Airport — 65 km via Budva, €60–95.
Nearby: Trsteno, Ploče, Mogren, Budva
Trsteno — a quiet sandy cove over the hill, 4 km, €5–7 by taxi. Ploče — rock platforms with pools further along the Luštica road, 8 km, €10–14. Mogren and Budva Old Town — 4–5 km back, €6–9.
Payment and small things
Cash in euros to the driver; there is no ATM at Jaz — withdraw in Budva. Beach luggage (umbrella, bags) costs nothing extra. Official taxi — yellow TAXI sign, “TX” plate.
