The region of Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake is an area the visitors and tourist to Montenegro must come to see to believe that such a place of natural beauty indeed exists. It is a very attractive destination because of its natural richness, ease of access both from land and sea, and because the conditions are here to meet all types of tourism throughout the entire year: bird watching, excursions to visit cultural-historical monuments, speleologist research, sport-recreational, events and festival, cruising and many more. The sea, the lake and mountains are all located in a circumference of 150km, and offer a variety that can accommodate the tastes and wishes of all guest and tourist.
The area around the lake is very desirable for a vacation spend in peace and quiet. It is a fact that the search for places in which nature is preserved or at least somewhat preserved is greater every year, the number of people visiting Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake has grown every year. Surrounding the lake are many, many villages where the authentic architecture, from stone and wood with large terraces that offer grand views of the lake, mountains and islands, is still preserved. If you choose to stay with one of the locals in these villages, one will be able to taste many specialties of the local cuisine such as smoked carp (very popular in the Italian cuisine of the last few centuries), as well as bleak only available in Skadar/Scadar/Scutari lake. Of course, a guest must try the well renowned Crmnic wine of quality that has surpassed many guests expectations.
The warm waters of the lake are great for swimming, and of course the many beaches offer time for relaxation and sunbathing. One of the most popular beaches is the beach in Murice, located very closely to the boarder with Albania. This is, however, the only sand beach on the Coast of Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake. To get to this beach it is the best if one takes the road Podgorica-Bar and take the exit for the town called Virpazar, over the railroad tracks and the old bridge over Virpazar. Following this bridge the road splits, one goes left and uphill and the right goes downhill. The left road will take the traveler to the beach with signs posted for the small town of Murici. Travelers are encouraged to ask the locals for anything if needed. The beach is exceptionally wide with a great restaurant, but you should come and see it.
There is another beach that is very popular but accessible only by sea. It is the hidden beach called Pjesacac in the heart of the lake. It is often frequented while by organized cruises on the lake. With a good tourist agency, it is easy to create a booking at the hotel 13 jul in the town of Virpazar, where the hotel prepares a local seafood specialty (such as the bleak, carp, or maybe eel) that will be served to you right on this beach by the hotel, following the cruise of the lake. During the summer months this beach does have a great authentic restaurant available, equipped with details such as traditional Montenegrin architecture made of rock and wood.
If the cruise of starts in Virpazar, which is most often the case, most tourist are fascinated with the view of the railroad tracks that divide the lake in two. The view of a passing train from the vantage point of the cruise ship trough the quiet lake it is fascinating.
