Sveti Nikola is the largest island along the Montenegrin Adriatic coast, situated directly across from the Bay of Budva. Stretching approximately two kilometers in length, the island is connected to the mainland by a shallow sandbar known as "Tunja," which lies only half a meter below the water's surface during extreme low tides. Locals frequently refer to it as "Hawaii," a nickname inspired by its crystal-clear turquoise waters and a well-known local restaurant. Much of the island is covered in dense Mediterranean vegetation, primarily pine forests and macchia, serving as a nature reserve for fallow deer and various bird species. The southern side of the island features dramatic vertical cliffs plunging into the sea, while the northern shore provides several secluded pebble beaches accessible only by boat. A significant historical site on the island is the Church of Saint Nicholas, which dates back to at least the 16th century. Today, Sveti Nikola is a popular day-trip destination, providing some of the best panoramic views of Budva's historic Old Town.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
