People in Ulcinj use green spaces by the sea for walking, resting, and socialising. People of different generations spend time in these spaces.

Borova suma is used for these walks and recreation. A field observation in the outdoor gym area recorded damaged equipment and difficult access. The equipment's presence alone is not a recommendation to use it.

Accommodation for working stays is also offered in a home in Ulcinj where the hosts live. Guests have access to a room for work as well as shared spaces in the hosts' home. Remote work has also been part of a short hotel stay by the coast.
