For thousands of years the river has flowed from the mountains to the Adriatic Sea, which Albanians called Buna, and the Montenegrins - Bojana. One day, at the end of the 19th century, a sailboat sailing from the sea into the river crashed and sank not far from the seashore. The rapid flow of water with sand and silt, colliding with the hull of a sunken sailboat, created an obstacle to the usual movement of the river and in this place it was divided into two branches. As a result, an unusual triangular island measuring 4.8 sq.km was formed, adjoining the sea. Now the river bed of Bojana and its left arm divide Montenegro with friendly Albania.
Moistened on both sides with fresh river water, and on the third side with warm salty sea water, the Montenegrin island of Ada (Ada means - an island) on the Bojana river, originating from the Balkan’s largest and most beautiful Skadar lake, is a picturesque resort and place where it is possible to catch marine and river fish in Montenegro. This is the place for excursions in Montenegro. This is an amazing kind of fishing in Montenegro. Ada Bojana is a unique natural reserve with rare flora and fauna. Due to the special microclimate, individual populations of birds and plants are found only here, which attracts not only tourists, but also many scientists. The road from the town of Ulcinj, located nearby, makes it possible to quickly get to the outskirts of the Bojana River and to the island via a small bridge. By renting a car in Montenegro, you can comfortably reach Ada-Bojana along the picturesque Adriatic coast from any city in Montenegro.
Here, along with many fishermen living seasonally or permanently in cozy houses along the coast directly above the river and on the island itself, you can experience a fishing happiness in secluded places of the river or the sea. Fishing in Montenegro is always a special kind of sport and pleasure. Some fishing houses with the help of piles were built directly above the smooth surface of the river, which sometimes allows to fish even sitting on the porch. For lovers of sports entertainment there is a school for beginners to dive or surf, as well as the conquest of the water surface on scooters, skis, boating or catamaran, using the services of rental of the necessary equipment. You can diversify your holiday with tourist routes or more traditional sports, having tested your strength in football, volleyball, basketball, as well as tennis and badminton. The special location of the island creates favorable conditions for surfing.
Light, carrying a pleasant coolness, the breeze sweeps the long, up to three kilometers attractive sea beach from the gentle fine sand that flows smoothly into the azure waters of the warm Adriatic Sea in Montenegro.
