Black sea coast with sandy beach. The best sandy beaches in Russia: the Black, Azov, Baltic and Caspian Seas. Anapa - Vityazevo

The popularity of recreation on the native shores of the Black Sea is growing, especially among families with children. The reason is not only financial. Resting in your native country is easier from an organizational point of view. At the same time, I want the water in the sea to be clean, and the beaches comfortable, and preferably sandy ... Is it possible to find such an ideal combination on the Russian Black Sea coast in 2019?

Resorts of the Krasnodar Territory

On the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, almost the entire coastal strip is resort area. The difference is only in the number of tourists. Starting from Vityazevo and ending at Adler, continuous beaches stretch - in bays and on the open sea, wild and equipped, sandy and pebble.

At all resorts, the situation is approximately the same. The most popular beaches have a developed infrastructure, but not very clean water near the coast. It is better to look for clear sea in the Krasnodar Territory on wild beaches in small resort villages.

Anapa - Vityazevo

The village of Vityazevo is located 11 km to the north Anapa and administratively is part of it. The main advantage of the resort is wide sandy beaches and shallow coastal waters.

Central Beach it is very busy, but the private sections of the coast belonging to hotels and boarding houses are better equipped and there are not very many people on them.

Private beaches are fenced, but some can be accessed by paying 100-200 rubles for entry.

The sea in Vityazevo is free from algae, the bottom is even, the depth begins about a hundred meters from the coast.

20 km from Novorossiysk there is a resort village, which is famous for its clear sea. It is conveniently located near transport hubs, besides, it is good to go here by car and you can stay with a tent. The length of a clean, well-groomed pebble beach is 2 km. It is never crowded here.

Beaches Kabardians start from Novorossiysk- wild and rocky, they are more suitable for adults, children will not be very comfortable on them. The trails to them are densely trodden right from the track. "Don". But the coastline and water are clean, despite the proximity of the port city.

On the way to the village, the beaches become crowded, according to reviews, they are simply incredibly crowded and uncomfortable. It is clear that with so many tourists, the water near the shore leaves much to be desired. For those who are more concerned about cleanliness than livability, we can recommend uncrowded places remote from the center of the village:

On the Cape Doob there is a beach, the passage to which is now closed by a fence. Previously, there was a camp site, but now an elite village has grown "Lighthouse". But enterprising tourists found a way out and were rewarded with the cleanest sea and 2 km of picturesque coastline stretching to the side. blue bay.

Right behind Gelendzhik 12 km away is one of the most popular resort villages - Divnomorskoe. Its advantage as a place for a beach holiday is due to the fact that it is located not in a bay, but on the shores of the open sea. The wave is higher here, and the water is much cleaner, which attracts those who want to feel its real breadth and power here.

According to sanitary standards, Divnomorsk has the cleanest sea on the Black Sea coast. True, there are always a lot of vacationers on the central beach, tourists from nearby resorts come here. But this is offset by a large number of rather deserted wild corners of the coast.

Praskoveevka - ecology at its best

Praskoveevka for environmental friendliness and the extraordinary beauty of nature was awarded a great honor - here is Presidential palace. The village is remote from the main cities, it is surrounded by a relict pine forest.

The healing aroma of the Pitsunda pine, the clear open sea and the moderately humid Mediterranean climate make the resort more and more popular every year.

The central beach of Praskoveevka has a developed infrastructure, including a variety of water activities. There are usually quite a lot of tourists here. More tourists seek to get to the rock "Sail". The coast here is not very convenient, the seabed is rocky and rocky, but this does not stop lovers of swimming in clear water. During the peak season, there is no free space here.

The most environmentally friendly place on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory is considered a wild beach "Molokanova gap". It is located 2 km east of the village. Above the rocky shore and water transparent as a tear hang rocks overgrown with Pitsunda pine.

The sea in the Crimean resorts

After the return of Crimea to Russia, a stream of tourists poured in here. The most popular holiday destination is where the "star" resorts are located.

But this is not the best option in terms of sanitary conditions - treatment facilities can not cope with the load. You need to look for a clear sea on the eastern and western coasts of the peninsula.

TOP of the cleanest places in Crimea leads Cape Tarkhankut where turquoise waters wash over white rocks. Tarkhankut is not just a place to relax, it is a natural attraction of the Crimea. There are no resorts here, but there are campsites where surfers and divers go. The local sea is considered the cleanest in the Crimea.

The coast of the Karadzhinskaya bay near Olenevka is a real find for families with children.

Fine quartz sand and shallow clear sea - everything you need for a good beach holiday.

The village follows Tarkhankut Balaklava, or rather its surroundings. They are famous for cleanliness here. Gold and Silver beaches. V Chersonese and Cossack bay there are places that are considered the best for recreation on the peninsula.

From the West Coast, move southeast to the village New World. Two bays attract tourists here with picturesque nature and clear waters - blue and Green. Is there some more blue bay, but it is too dangerous for swimming. healing air Green Bay saturated with the aroma of juniper, the shores are sandy, and the water is completely transparent. Best place for families with children can not be found here.

It is generally accepted that sandy beaches in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory are concentrated mainly on the coastline from Anapa to Taman. But there are also a few more pieces of the coast with sand. These are, for example, the city beach of Gelendzhik and the beach of the village of Plyakho, which are located in the Tuapse district. In addition to the yellow sand beaches that we are used to on the coasts of the same Thailand, there are also beaches with gray / brown sand, which looks more like small, small pebbles than sand. True, usually such sand is found in places, in stripes.

It is clear that you will not get the Maldives and bounty on the Black Sea, but it is possible to relax on the sandy beach. And I would personally go to sandy beaches to relax with children, especially if the child is small and still crawling. Therefore, since there is a choice, it is better to know where there is sand, and this review was written for this. If you have any more information about this, please add it in the comments.

The best sandy beaches of the Krasnodar Territory

The best beaches in the Krasnodar Territory can be considered the beaches that are located along the coast northwest of Anapa and up to Vityazevo, in the Gelendzhik region, in the village of Plyakho, Tuapse region. The sand in this large area is predominantly yellow in color and plentiful, and there are almost no stones and pebbles. In the area of ​​Greater Sochi, there are practically no such beaches, with the exception of the beach with artificial sand in the Imereti Beach Club.

The beaches of the Taman Peninsula, from Volna to Veselovka

On the Taman Peninsula, from the village of Volna and approximately to the mud lake in the area of ​​​​the village of Veselovka, several beaches can be distinguished. The area here is quite deserted, but there are recreation centers and children's camps near the sea, because here it is very convenient for swimming, with a smooth sunset and good golden sand. True, in some places there may be a muddy bottom, the closer to Blagoveshchenskaya, the less often.

The surroundings of the village of Volna are very beautiful: from the high bank you can see the yellow sandy strip stretching into the distance along the sea. This is a quiet place, with nature almost untouched by man, where the wind is walking in the open space, it is well suited for "wild" recreation, including with children. The village has some infrastructure, you can find housing from private owners. There are also several recreation centers nearby where you can stay.

The village of Volna is quite small and there are not so many hotels that can be booked online. Probably the most comfortable is a guest house. But the beach of the Volna village is not crowded, with light sand and a calm, shallow sea.

From the village of Volna to Veselovka, kilometers of wild beaches stretch, to which, from the road, you have to go down to the sea from a high sandy shore. In some places it goes around and collapses into the sea and not everywhere the beach strip is wide. Nevertheless, this area is popular with fans of camping by the sea.

The village of Veselovka is not located on the seashore, but a little in the depths. Near Veselovka there is a salt lake with therapeutic mud, so one of the beaches is called At the Salt Lake, it has the necessary infrastructure: sunbeds, umbrellas, cabins, cafes, etc. The central beach of Veselovka is Yantar, it also has infrastructure for a beach holiday, showers, a shop, a cafe, and camping with places for tents. The entry into the sea is gentle here, and the sand is fine and golden, but there is no natural shade at all. These two beaches - at the Salt Lake and Central, are the most equipped and comfortable for relaxation.

Further, in the direction of Blagoveshchenskaya, on the Bugaz Spit, there are the beaches of Bugaz and Kiziltash, wild beaches. On Bugaz beach, the depth increases quite quickly when entering the sea. The area is home to kite and wind surf schools and the beaches are popular primarily with those involved in these sports. The coastline here is wide, without vegetation, with fine and pleasant golden sand. The beach has some infrastructure, a cafe. But in general, the area is deserted.

Beaches near Blagoveshchenskaya

The long and rather deserted sandy beaches of the village of Blagoveshchenskaya are popular with those who like to relax with tents, kiters and surfers. But there are also large resort hotels here. This calm and quiet place is attractive for families with children. Entry into the water in this area is smooth and the depth is small, and the sea is cleaner than near the resorts. The beaches in the Blagoveshchenskaya area are wide, with yellow and fine quartz sand.

In the direction of the village of Volna, the beaches of the Bugaz Spit stretch from Veselovka. They are quite deserted and poorly equipped, suitable for lovers of wild recreation and those who are engaged in kite and wind surfing. A long, several kilometers long strip of fine yellow sand is almost all that can be seen on the beach.

Between the Central Beach of Blagoveshchenskaya and Vityazevo stretches a long and wild "nudist" beach, deserted, with a gentle entry into the water, but with virtually no infrastructure.

The beaches of Vityazevo

Compared to small villages towards the Taman Peninsula, Vityazevo is a fairly large and popular resort village with many hotels. The beaches in the Vityazevo area have a wide variety of water and beach activities, such as large water slides, banana rides, and scooters. There is also a beach infrastructure. In general, this is a relatively busy tourist place. But some parts of the coast can be more or less sparsely populated. Part of the coastline is fenced off by hotels standing next to the sea. Sunbeds on such "private" beaches are free for hotel guests.

Between Blagoveshchenskaya and Vityazevo, at first, wild beaches stretch in a long strip. There is good golden sand, untouched nature and almost no people.

The beaches from Vityazevo towards Blagoveshchenskaya are part of a protected natural area, the entrance to which is paid - 200 rubles per car. But here there is pleasant sand, not crowded, beautiful dunes and spaciousness.

Of the beaches with infrastructure, the closest to Blagoveshchenskaya is the beach of the Ostrov Tortuga hotel - good and equipped, but not crowded. The beach has sun loungers and umbrellas, a variety of attractions and entertainment for children, good beach infrastructure. For hotel guests, sun loungers with umbrellas are free of charge, the rest can rent them for a fee. From the center of Vityazevo, a free minibus runs to this beach.

Pirate Bay Beach (Captain Flint Bay) is a large sandy beach with sun loungers and sun canopy. Here you can also rent jet skis and catamarans, there is a cafe, beach volleyball and other entertainment and attractions.

The list of beaches in Vityazevo itself can be started with the beach of Iris Guest House. This is a private beach with good infrastructure, available to guests. However, the beaches in this place are spacious, so you can freely go to the sea. The sea near the beach is shallow, which is convenient for bathing children. The beach is not very crowded and at the same time quite clean and well-groomed.

The beach of the Marina Hotel is also well landscaped, there are beach volleyball courts, showers, sunshades, sunbeds, cafes. First of all, the beach is designed for guests of the Marina Hotel.

The beach of the recreation center Lyudmila is also well-maintained, with sun loungers and umbrellas. Near it you can find a variety of attractions for children and adults.

The beach of the Dvoryanskoye Gnezdo hotel is equipped in much the same way as the previous one.

In Vityazevo, the guest house and the already named one are closest to the sea from high-rated hotels.

Dzhemete beaches

The beach between Central in Anapa and Dzhemete starts from the Anapka River and stretches along Pioneer Avenue towards Lower Dzhemete. The beach is a fairly wide strip of yellowish sand, but the sea in this area is shallow, the depth grows slowly. During the season, the beach is very crowded, but it is well suited for families with children.

The beach of the Zolotaya Buhta hotel is a well-equipped beach at. Non-hotel guests can access the beach for a fee. The entrance costs 300-500 rubles, but on the beach there are not only sun loungers under beautiful umbrellas, showers and a children's playground, but also a large pool with a jacuzzi.

The beach is quite long, about one and a half kilometers, and mostly wide - several tens of meters. Entrance to the beach is free, but umbrellas and sun loungers are paid for rent.

Life hack #1 - how to buy good insurance

Choosing insurance is now unrealistically difficult, so to help all travelers. To do this, I constantly monitor forums, study insurance contracts and use insurance myself.

From Sochi to Anapa, the Krasnodar Territory is one continuous of sand, shell rock and pebbles, slightly torn apart by the Caucasian hills. And this is only the Black Sea coast.

Here the best sandy beaches are located in settlements and places:

• Anapa;
• Dzhemete;
• Vityazevo;
• Blagoveshchenskaya;
• Veselovka;
• Bugaz Spit;
• Gelendzhik;
• Lermontovo;
• Imeretinskaya Bay of Greater Sochi.

There are fewer resorts on the Sea of ​​Azov:

• Yeysk;
• Dolzhanskaya;
• Taman Peninsula.

In addition to these places, on the Azov coast there are many small villages and villages with wonderful beaches. Despite the fact that this sea is less popular among vacationers, local resorts have their own advantages:

1. The sea is shallower, the water warms up better.
2. The swimming season, unlike the southern shores of the region, begins in May.
3. The vast majority of the coast area is gently sloping sandy beaches or small shell rock.
4. The water is less salty than in the Black Sea.

Attention! There is a negative attitude towards the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov due to the fact that during the excitement the water becomes cloudy. This effect is achieved not for environmental reasons, but due to the fact that the two main "donors" of Azov - Don and Kuban carry particles of silt into the sea. On the contrary, silt mud endows water with useful properties.

Northern Black Sea Coast of Krasnodar Territory: the best beaches

The city of Anapa, according to many vacationers, is perhaps the best option among the sandy Black Sea coast: the sea is the shallowest, prices are not yet Sochi, and some beaches will surprise you with the purity of water and sand. The leadership palm in the cleanliness category is held by the "Central Beach". The city has many offers for related leisure: cafes, attractions and nightlife - everything is organized on high level.

If you don’t like the bustle, try resting in the neighboring villages of Vityazevo and Dzhemete, adjacent to Anapa. The latter is famous for its golden sand and gently sloping shore of clear sea. Here you will find holidays at an affordable price, even near the coast. In Vityazevo you will be surprised by a huge beach with sand dunes. These resorts are not so crowded. At the very least, you can always find a comfortable place to sunbathe on the sand.

If you want even more privacy - move north. The region of Blagoveshchenskaya, Veselovka and Bugazskaya Spit is full of wild beaches with beautiful nature. In fact, this area consists of solid sand. These places are loved by divers for the transparency of the water.

Southern Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory: sand worth its weight in gold

To the south of Anapa, it is difficult to meet a sandy shore. There is sand here only in rare bays and estuaries. One of these places is Gelendzhik. 10-15 years ago, they actively engaged in the creation of artificial sandy beaches. Directly in the city is the most popular beach "Thin Cape", which works in tandem with the boarding house of the same name. The coast is equipped with a breakwater that allows you to swim even in a storm. The Krasnaya Talka beach is also popular. It is furnished to a high standard. Outside the city there is a beach "Kamyshi", which is less crowded, but also maintained in order.

Relief features made it possible to appear in the small village of Lermontovo a sandy section of the coast. People did not fail to take advantage of this feature: a relatively small area is kept clean. There are pebbles on it: directly at the entrance to the water. The coast is smooth, the water is warm in the south.

Imeretinskaya Bay is located near Adler and practically at the state border. In 2014, Olympians were located nearby. Despite this, vacationers call the beaches not quite adapted: there are large pebbles and snags on the shore, the entrance to the water is steep. Imeretian beaches are considered as an option to diversify the rest in Adler or Sochi. By the way, there are services that are not quite familiar to Russian tourists. For example, bike rental.

Azov coast: children's rest on the sand

Azov coast is a great option for families with children. The vast majority of resorts here are located on the Taman Peninsula, where the sand is all around.

The beach and the seabed are pleasant to the touch. Local views are amazing and unique. Taman, Tuzla Spit, the villages of Ilyich, For the Motherland, Kuchugury, Temryuk and others are distinguished by low population. The vast majority of the beaches here are without amenities, however, they are clean. But you will find accommodation and entertainment. Golubitskaya and Peresyp are more prepared to receive tourists: the level of leisure is higher here, and the beaches are ennobled and equipped with amenities.

Yeysk is a direct competitor of Taganrog, Rostov Region, in terms of popularity in the region. It is a tourist oriented and seasoned city. The shore is the Yeysk Spit deeply protruding into the sea, not far into the sea there are several uninhabited islands. A branch of the railway ran along part of the coast, which narrowed the beach strip in these areas to several meters. The sea is very shallow.

The village of Dolzhanskaya is located near the Dolgaya Spit. The spit is a protected area, so the nature here is amazing. The sandy beach has a length of 20 km. There are many sanatoriums and children's camps. The spit divides the sea into two parts that often behave in opposite ways. On the one hand, the wind drives the waves, and on the other, silence and grace. Therefore, the sandy Dolzhanskaya is liked by both lovers of a relaxing holiday and fans of water extreme sports.

Advice. When choosing the Krasnodar Territory for recreation, remember that the resort remains a resort. Large cities are more often industrial and port, so they will not always be able to meet your expectations in terms of cleanliness. And small villages are less equipped for leisure and are inferior in terms of comfort.

I don't like pebble beaches, so I always opt for sandy beaches. Our Black Sea has not only a large selection of hotels and attractions, but also a huge selection of beaches. Here anyone can find a beach to their taste. It remains only to find out where are the rocky beaches on the Black Sea, and where are the sandy ones.

Where are the rocky beaches on the Black Sea

Most famous resorts have pebble beaches. For instance:

• Lazarevskoye;
• Kabardinka;
• Dzhubga;
• Resorts of Crimea;
• Resorts of Abkhazia.

I can't swim on pebble beaches, but many people choose them for several reasons. Advantages of pebble beaches:

• purity and transparency of water;
• stones and pebbles do not stick to the body like sand;
• better visibility underwater.

But pebble and rocky beaches have not only advantages. Minuses:

• sharp stones;
• risk of cutting your legs;
• stones and pebbles get very hot in the sun;
• the need to wear special slippers for swimming.

Not everyone wears special bathing shoes. For some, pebbles are the perfect foot massager. But I still remember how the wave dumped me right on the rocks. It ended badly. The legs were bruised and cut. And I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

Where are the sandy beaches on the Black Sea

On the Black Sea you can easily find sandy shores. Most sandy beaches are located in Anapa. You can find a good sandy beach in Gelendzhik. It is small (about 500 meters long), but without pebbles. The sand also gets very hot in the middle of the day, but it is easier to run on it without shoes. Try to run barefoot on pebbles and rocks. Sandy beaches have their drawbacks. The disadvantages include the following:

• sand sticks to wet skin, especially to sunscreen;
• the water is not so clear, as the sand is constantly stirred up by people who swim in the sea;
• during the wind, the sand will fly into the eyes;
• algae grow on beaches where there is sand, not pebbles.

Sandy beaches are very good if you are traveling with a child. Children will be more comfortable swimming. Sand is safer for children. The child will not fall on the stones, so the risk of injury is greatly reduced. For the elderly, this is also a great beach.. On such beaches, the entrance to the water is smoother. If you are going to a sandy beach, then you do not need to take special swimming shoes with you.

There are a huge number of beaches on the Black Sea. And you can always choose the beach that will be the most convenient and acceptable for you.

It will offer you many coasts covered with golden quartz sand or slightly prickly shell rock.

Most of the sandy beaches are located along the Kerch Strait (from the border with the Sea of ​​Azov) to. All this coast, including Anapa and its suburbs, in fact, is one giant 40-kilometer beach covered with golden quartz sand sparkling in the sun.

The main disadvantage of relaxing on the sandy beaches of the Black Sea is related to their popularity: on the coasts of famous resorts in the season there is nowhere for an apple to fall, vacationers are bothered by annoying merchants, music and smells from coastal cafes.

Sandy beaches on the Sea of ​​Azov

Sandy beaches on the Sea of ​​Azov are different. If you are going on vacation with small children, then you should think about this coast. Basically, all local beaches are covered with sand and shell rock. The entrance to the water is very gentle. The water is less salty than in the Black Sea, that is, it will not pinch the eyes of babies. It warms up very quickly, and therefore the swimming season begins in May, but also ends earlier than on the Black Sea beaches - by the end of August.

Sometimes you can hear reviews that the water in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is dirty. However, it is muddy because of the healing silt mud washed up from the estuaries.
