Get around
Walking from one end to another is a relaxing mere 15-20 min stroll, so no other options than that are really necessary.

Do
Perast doesn't have sandy beaches, however it does have stony beaches, at both north and south ends, close to its public parkings. You can sunbathe there, on the numerous small stone and concrete docks jutting out into the sea, or at a beach club.
