Ulcinj Salina
Ulcinjska solana
A natural park on about 1,500 hectares of abandoned salt pans, one of the most important bird habitats on the eastern Adriatic coast.
The Ulcinj Salina lies between the town and Long Beach. Once the largest salt works in former Yugoslavia, it became a wetland after production stopped. More than 250 bird species have been recorded here. During the spring and autumn migrations you can see flamingos, Dalmatian pelicans, herons and large numbers of waders. The site was designated a nature park in 2019 and added to the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance. The park has bird-watching towers and trails, and guided tours led by local bird conservation groups are available by advance reservation. Bring binoculars and insect repellent. Summers can be hot around midday and birds are fewer then, so early morning or late afternoon is best.
