Its beach is one of the few genuinely sandy stretches on this part of the coast, and the town keeps a slower rhythm than Budva — more families and long-stay visitors than nightlife crowds.
The Venetian-era Kaštel fortress sits on a rock at the north end of the beach and is now a small open-air gallery. Behind the waterfront, a Roman-era mosaic floor is preserved under a glass shelter. The coastal path south from Petrovac leads to Lučice beach, a quieter cove popular with locals.
The directory covers Petrovac's restaurants, accommodation, beach facilities and the handful of shops and services along the main strip.
