Therefore, the city itself is not a major destination for sunbathing, but there are many attractive beaches reachable by boat. One-day boat trips are organised to Žanjic, Mirište or Rose, all being beautiful and very popular beaches.

Herceg Novi travel guide - Wikitravel (966 words)
Herceg Novi, although not the most spectacular city in Montenegro (Kotor takes that prize) is probably the most pleasant and warrants a several day visit.
If Herceg Novi is your main destination, a pleasant alternative to bus travel is hiring a Croat cab from Dubrovnik airport (Cilipi) for about 50 euros; this journy takes about 40 minutes, including border crossings.
Herceg Novi is hot in summer, and it usually stays warm late into the evenings, so cold drinks are best sellers.
