Everyday life in Petrovac

In Petrovac, people also get together over coffee at waterfront cafes. Locals sit and talk about everyday matters, so these gatherings are not limited to the tourist season.

At Konoba Katic, residents chat over morning coffee, while some visitors sit looking out toward the islands. Coffee is served there outside the summer season, too.

You can do your everyday grocery shopping at supermarkets in central Petrovac and in Brezine. The market offers another option for fruit, vegetables, and some local products, so you can use both supermarkets and stalls when preparing meals in your apartment. There are also separate clothing stores in town.

In one earlier shopping account, a customer noticed a busier central supermarket on Saturday afternoon, when people were also shopping for Sunday.

Regular stores are closed on Sundays. If you prepare your own meals, shop for that day in advance, with the legal exceptions explained below.

Petrovac residents use the local community council to request better upkeep of spaces they share with visitors. During the summer, they raised concerns about illegal selling along the promenade and beach cleanliness.

During one earlier summer season, local community council members checked the area daily, recorded problems, and sought solutions from the relevant authorities.

Coastal walks and sport fishing offer two ways to spend free time outdoors in Petrovac. Trails toward neighboring coves also include climbs above the sea. Recreational anglers also join fishing gatherings, and people socialize on shore after the outing at sea.

Fishermen and recreational anglers took part in a past October Petrovac Lignjada fishing competition, followed by a gathering on shore with music and refreshments.

An evening out in Petrovac can mean a drink at a place along the promenade or a public music event when one is scheduled. Such events take place on specific dates, so do not expect festival entertainment every evening.

At a past August Petrovac Night event, residents and tourists watched the evening concerts together on the waterfront.

Check the Budva Tourist Organization event calendar for the dates of your stay. Some events take place in Budva and elsewhere along the riviera, so choose a listing with Petrovac as the location if you want to go out here.

The tourist season brings seasonal hotel and hospitality jobs to Petrovac. During spring preparations, employers look for kitchen, serving, and housekeeping staff, and some openings are aimed at people coming from outside the coastal region.

During an earlier spring recruitment round for hotels in Budva and Petrovac, an employer offered accommodations and meals to seasonal workers arriving from outside the coastal region.

If you work remotely while staying in central Petrovac, you can buy groceries at a nearby store and walk to the sea during a break. Working conditions, including internet access, still depend on the particular place you stay.

During an earlier stay, one guest worked remotely from an apartment in Petrovac and was happy with the working conditions.
