Šušanj (Montenegrin : Шушањ, pronounced [ʃûːʃaɲ] ) is a small town in the municipality of Bar, Montenegro. A 2011 census put the population at 2,630.
The town is located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea between Sutomore and Bar. The settlement is actually a suburban area of Bar, adjoining it closely from the north side. Šušanj is protected from all sides by the forested slopes of Mount Rumia, so the Adriatic Sea coast in this place warms up much earlier - a lot of sun and little wind attract vacationers here from early spring to late autumn. On the territory of Šušanj, there is the famous Žukotrlica beach, named after the Spanish broom, a plant that the Montenegrins themselves call žukva. It's quite popular because of the nice shade and air quality provided by the pine trees. In summer the town has many tourists staying in local accommodation; bars, restaurants and shops are open throughout the warmer months. The Belgrade–Bar railway passes through the town on its approach to Bar. The town is 1 kilometer away from the Bar and it's connected with a beach promenade.
Just three decades ago, on the site of today's resort, there was a field where local farmers grew Greek and Italian olives. After the expansion of Bar, the inhabitants of Old Pristan settled here, and the rapidly growing town actually became the northern suburb of a large municipality.
According to the 2011 census, the town has a population of 2,630 people. [1]
