Also in Montenegro, Ulcinj is on the Adriatic coast and sits on the opposite side of Lake Shkodra to Podgorica. In this region where boundaries are often difficult to delineate it won’t be surprising that Ulcinj is 80% ethnic Albanian. 

Make the short drive to this coastal resort to visit the beaches that have started to gain international recognition. The are more than 30 kilometres of coastline to explore and 25 different beaches to choose from.

 One of the best has to be Velika Plaza, a long, wide sandy beach with rolling surf, which can be reached by bus from the centre of Ulcinj.
