Neum is a resort town on the 9 km strip of Adriatic coast that belongs to Bosnia and Herzegovina. In other contexts this country is often loosely referred to as "Bosnia", but Neum is specifically part of Herzegovina. That entity is undefined and contentious so on this page the country is abbreviated to BiH. In 2013 the Neum strip had a population of 4653, most of them in the town itself.

2 km long. The town occupies half of that, while the rest is just tiny places such as Kamenice, so the term "Neum" here applies to the whole strip and its hinterland.
