Sutomore, Montenegro

It's a budget beach destination, alright - with a 2 km sandy stretch and vibrant nightlife. But the 2,004 residents of Sutomore, Montenegro have to contend with chronic traffic jams and a lack of urban planning, as transit traffic from inland areas clogs the streets during summer. The ethnic composition is 932 Montenegrins, 821 Serbs, and 251 'others', according to the 2011 census. While Sutomore may be more affordable than nearby Budva, the persistent headache of bureaucracy and congestion means it's best suited for youthful visitors looking for a lively, low-cost beach vacation.
