Nature

The local directory lists Đenovići Beach as 600 metres long and 10 metres wide; it also gives an area of 6,000 square metres, an estimated capacity of 500 bathers, and partially equipped facilities. The seafront promenade running through the town is shaded by Mediterranean pines and oleanders and offers uninterrupted views across the bay.

Local agriculture in Đenovići includes mimosas as well as southern fruits and vegetables. Geometric remains of walls are reported several metres offshore from the locality of Stoli in Đenovići, beneath the water.

Culture

A memorial plaque for fallen fighters from the surrounding area is located at the Dom kulture in Đenovići. It was erected in 1953 and is listed as a protected historic monument in the Central Register. The Church of Saint Simeon dates from the 16th century and has an old, archaic cemetery. The Church of Saint Stefan in Đenović is dated to 1870, while the Church of Saint Spiridon in Đenović is dated to the period 1870–1910. The Church of Saint Nicholas in Đenović dates from the 16th to the 17th century.

According to local tradition, the locality of Stoli on Đenovići’s western coast is associated with the Greco-Roman settlement of Stoli (Stolium), which is said to have sunk into the sea after an earthquake. The Mimosa Festival includes a coastal procession from Đenovići to neighbouring Baošići.

Getting Around

Well-preserved stone houses from the 18th and 19th centuries still stand along the shore of Đenovići. The surviving captains’ houses along the seafront promenade feature carved stone doorways, windows with green shutters, and family coats of arms. The promenade connects Đenovići with Baošići to the west and Bijela to the east; in both directions, an approximately two-kilometre seaside walk runs along the coast.

Local buses stop in Đenovići on the Herceg Novi–Kotor route. A small marina continues a long tradition of boat moorings there; fishing boats and small leisure boats lie at anchor offshore.

Excursions

Nearby, seasonal excursion boats depart from Đenovići towards Rose, Žanjice, the Blue Grotto, and Mamula Fortress at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. Boats also depart from Đenovići into the Bay of Kotor, towards Perast, the Perast Islands, and Our Lady of the Rocks. Guided sea-kayaking tours pass through Đenovići and explore the coast towards the Blue Grotto on the Luštica Peninsula.

Behind Đenovići, paths climb through Mediterranean scrubland to a viewpoint overlooking the entrance to the bay, Mamula Island, the Croatian coast, and Mount Orjen.
