Ulcinj, Long Beach and Ada Bojana by car from Petrovac

The Old Olive Tree in Mirovica is protected within a maintained site close to the main road from Bar towards Ulcinj. Its broad trunk branches low to the ground, revealing hollows, an irregular base and sections of wood with different textures when seen up close. Protective posts around the tree separate the visitor area from its roots.

Samples tested during a project in 2014 and 2015 gave an estimated age of approximately 2,240 years at the time of analysis. The olive tree has suffered damage over the years, including a fire in 1958 and the loss of part of its trunk in 2004. Drainage was installed after problems with high groundwater, and the operator recorded vigorous new growth in spring 2024.

Local stories link the name Mirovica to feuding families making peace beneath the olive tree. This oral tradition accompanies the tree's role as one of the recognisable symbols of olive growing around Bar.

Valdanos is a horseshoe-shaped bay between Mendra and Mavrijan, with a pebbled shore and slopes enclosing it on the landward side. Old olive groves spread along its approaches. They are part of Ulcinj's agricultural heritage, recognisable by branching trunks, widely spaced crowns and dry-stone walls.

The bay also had a maritime role. Ships sheltered here from storms, and a quarantine station stood at its head. Vessels suspected of carrying disease waited here before continuing to port. In 1833, an Ulcinj brigantine arriving from Alexandria was held in Valdanos for 40 days.

Ulcinj Old Town occupies a rocky rise directly above the sea. The walls separating it from the shore preserve traces of different periods, from the earliest remains of an Illyrian fortification to later additions. Two gates connected the town with land and sea, so their positions and the lines of the streets help explain how people entered the fortified settlement.

Inside the walls, houses cluster along narrow stone streets. Steps and short passages follow the slope, with views of the Adriatic opening between buildings. The houses and palaces now contain homes, restaurants and visitor accommodation.

Balšić Tower stands beside the museum complex in the upper part. Below are the buildings known as Palata Venezia and Dvori Balšića. They are now used for accommodation, and their guest areas are not public museum spaces. The town's maritime setting is most apparent on the southern side, where the sea opens out beyond stone houses. The upper walls show how the landward approach was defended.

Long Beach, locally known as Velika Plaža, stretches from Port Milena towards the Bojana River in a long strip of fine sand. Behind the water's edge, the ground is low and flat, with dunes and coastal vegetation. The sense of space is different from the sheltered pebble coves around Petrovac. From the shore, the view extends along the beach and far out to sea.

Wind is a defining feature here and the reason kitesurfing schools have developed along the beach. On windy days, kites fly above the sea.

Copacabana is one of the organised access points to this broad stretch of coast, with beach facilities, food and drink, and parking. The shore is reached from the road through Štoj, with a path leading to the sea through Copacabana's facilities.

Ada Bojana is a triangular river island bounded by two branches of the Bojana River and the Adriatic Sea. Its formation and coastline are shaped by sand and sediment carried to the river mouth. As a result, the positions of sandbars and the width of the beach change over time.

The seaside resort is known for a naturist tradition dating from the 1970s. Bungalows, a campsite, restaurants and sports areas occupy the flat ground beside the beach. The island extends beyond the hotel resort to include riverbanks lined with wooden houses and moored boats.
