Bečići ( Cyrillic Бечићи , Italian Becici ) is a town in the municipality of Budva , Montenegro . It is located 1 km southeast of Budva and has 891 inhabitants (2011 census).

The city has a 1,950 m long sandy beach, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Montenegro and in the southern Adriatic region. In 1935 it won the Grand Prix for the most beautiful beach in Europe in Paris. Several sections of the beach are private or only accessible to hotel guests. Budva can be reached on foot via a promenade and a 100 m tunnel, and a tourist train also runs along the route.
