Beach time and the river delta
Ada Bojana’s beach pairs a sandy shoreline with the island’s river-and-sea setting. The FKK Ada Bojana settlement occupies Paradise Island and has a sandy beach 3.1 km long.
Ada Bojana is a naturist settlement, so keep that in mind when choosing where to spend your beach time. The beach terrain is uneven, with limited wheelchair access; flatter sections are near the entrance.
The island’s shape is easy to understand from its shoreline: the Bojana River borders two sides, while the Adriatic forms the third. That mix of river and coast makes the delta landscape a defining part of a visit, beyond time on the sand.

The FKK Ada Bojana complex has several restaurants and bars, tennis courts and horseback-riding facilities. These give you options to eat or take part in activities while staying around the beach and river setting.
Free private parking is available on-site, and free Wi-Fi is available in the complex’s public areas. The settlement also has air-conditioned accommodation with balconies, though a day trip does not require an overnight stay.
A travel guide recounts a local history for the island: it says Ada Bojana formed after a shipwreck in 1858. This account is a historical story rather than a detail confirmed by the official tourism listing.
