It is generally accepted that sandy beaches at resorts Krasnodar region concentrated mainly on the coastline from Anapa to Taman. But there are also several more pieces of shore 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 region. In addition to the beaches with yellow sand, to which we are accustomed on the coasts of Thailand, there are also beaches with gray/brown sand, which looks more like small pebbles than sand. True, such sand is usually 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 personally would go on vacation with children to sandy beaches, especially if the child is small and still crawling. Therefore, since there is a choice, it is better to know where the sand is, which is why this review was written. If you have any more information on this matter, add it in the comments.

The best sandy beaches of the Krasnodar region

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

Beaches of the Taman Peninsula, from Volna to Veselovka

On the Taman Peninsula from the village of Volna and approximately to mud lake There are several beaches in the area of ​​the village of Veselovka. 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 approach and good golden sand. True, in some places there may be a muddy bottom, the closer to Blagoveshchenskaya, the less frequent it is.

The surroundings of the village of Volna are very beautiful: from the high shore you can see the yellow sand strip stretching into the distance along the sea. This quiet place, with nature almost untouched by man, where the wind blows in the open air, is well suited for a “wild” holiday, 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 very small and there are not many hotels that can be booked online here. The most comfortable one is probably 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 there are kilometers of wild beaches, to which you have to go down to the sea from the high sandy shore from the road. In some places it goes around and collapses into the sea and the beach strip is not wide everywhere. Nevertheless, this area is popular among lovers of camping by the sea.

The village of Veselovka is not located on the seashore, but slightly inland. Near Veselovka there is a salt lake with healing mud, so one of the beaches is called At the Salt Lake, it has the necessary infrastructure: sun loungers, umbrellas, cabins, cafes, etc. The central beach of Veselovka is Yantar, it also has infrastructure for beach holiday, showers, shop, cafe, car camping with places for tents. The entry into the sea here is gentle, and the sand is fine and golden, but there is no natural shade at all.

The well-groomed shore and azure water hypnotize vacationers with its natural beauty. The prices are quite affordable. Due to the limited space, it is very crowded during the season. A serious disadvantage of the complex is the small distance from the direct entrance to the sea; for this you need to cross the embankment, the natural beach is pebble.

The best beaches in the Krasnodar Territory for families with children on the Sea of ​​Azov

The green resort town of Yeysk is always happy to accommodate those who want to relax actively, fun and usefully (annual windsurfing competitions are held on Yeisk Spit). During the holidays, parents can keep their energetic child busy with training at the yacht club. Many guest houses, mini-hotels, and recreation centers will warmly welcome and accommodate people of any age.

There are practically no special entertainments for young children; it will be interesting for fans of fishing and wind kite surfing. This type of recreation can be classified as wild. There are numerous campsites on the spit with a simplified range of services: showers, toilets, catering, rental of jet skis, motorcycles, boat rides, shady gazebos.

Choosing how to get to the selected point

In conclusion, it is worth noting that this is far from full list sandy beaches in the Krasnodar region. There are many more beautiful corners, pleasant beach areas and interesting attractions that avid travelers should visit. This article presents best beaches Krasnodar region for holidays with children, the main advantages and disadvantages are described.

There is an unspoken custom: for very young children to organize a holiday on the Azov coast, and for older children - on the Black Sea. Undoubtedly, whether to follow this tradition or not is up to the parents to choose. In any case, a comfortable and enjoyable summer vacation depends on this choice.

Summer is the time for long-awaited vacations, during which you want to change your surroundings and relax in comfort. One of best options– Black Sea coast. Prices here are slightly lower than at foreign resorts, and the level of service is last years practically not inferior to the European one. But not every tourist knows where the sand is on the Black Sea in Russia. But sandy beaches are much more comfortable than pebble ones; you can even walk on them barefoot. So, where to find sandy beaches on the Black Sea?

Don’t know where to find sand on the Black Sea? There are such protected places!

Studying the map of the Black Sea coast

There are not so many places where vacationers will be greeted by scatterings of sand, but they still exist. Sandy beaches are always crowded, as they are more popular than their pebble counterparts. The sand on the Black Sea is healing. It consists of mollusk shells, quartz particles and sea salts.

Here you can practice psammotherapy, that is, take sand baths to get rid of some skin diseases, activate blood circulation, and improve the condition of musculoskeletal tissues.

Where is the sand on the Black Sea?

· Beaches of Anapa. There is a gentle shore and shallow depth. Shallow water warms up quickly, so the sea is warm. The absence of storms makes this resort attractive for families with children. However, there is one drawback. The sea begins to “bloom” already in early August.

· Dzhemete. A small settlement located near Anapa. Here you can not only relax, but also improve your health. The sand in these parts contains many mineral elements and is considered healing. The water is much cleaner than on the beaches of Anapa.

· Beaches of Gelendzhik. Only one beach can boast of sand – Central. The surface here is artificial and imported. Often during storms the sand is washed away, but it is periodically added. There is a lot of entertainment and attractions nearby. In a word, you can spend your time in an interesting and varied way.

There are quite a lot of curious people among our brother. There are also those who wonder: how many beaches are there on the Russian Black Sea coast?! Some original geography experts claim that the entire seashore is a continuous large beach! But, the aborigines, that is, the inhabitants of the Black Sea region, categorically disagree with this statement, because the relief off the coast often changes - either a pebble or sandy strip, or a pile of stones, or suddenly an impressively sized rock or a whole series of inaccessible rocks descends into the sea from the land . What kind of beaches are there?! And, to be objective, the truth is on the side of the indigenous inhabitants of these places: the sea stretches far along the coast, but it is not a continuous beach at all!

They got to the bottom of the truth only in Crimea - on the peninsula, it is estimated that there are eight hundred beaches - sandy, pebble, rocky, moreover, departmental (at some sanatoriums and boarding houses) publicly accessible, like, for example, in Anapa and wild, including nudist ones like in the Koktebel area, Utrish and in other coastal places.
For those curious to get to the truth, let us add that the Russian Black Sea coast has added kilometers to itself since 2014 - due to the return of Crimea to its historical homeland. If the entire coastline of the Black Sea is more than 3,400 kilometers, then our share accounts for 1.2 thousand (from 421 to 474, in fact, of the Krasnodar Territory plus 750 kilometers of the Crimean coast). In terms of coastline length, we are slightly behind Turkey, but superior to Ukraine. Let us remind those who are also curious - the Black Sea coast in known quantities is divided by five countries: Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Georgia. Now let's move directly to the beaches - in alphabetical order.

Not many coastal countries can boast of such excellent beaches as those of the All-Russian health resort for family and children's recreation and treatment of Anapa. Their length is about seventy kilometers, of which 40 are the golden embankment, left in memory of itself by the ancient Kuban River, which suddenly changed the old channel to a new one. And here the definition of the curious that the shore is a continuous beach will come in handy. From the Anapka River itself, where the Central Beach continues, and to the village of Blagoveshchenskaya (more than 35 kilometers), a golden strip of sand stretches, and even, like in the desert, with dunes from three to twelve meters high, in some places overgrown with branchy trees, giving saving shade to the whole in the heat family. The beaches range in width from two dozen meters to two hundred and a half behind the Anapka River and six hundred at the village of Blagoveshchenskaya. Anapa, Dzhemete, Vityazevo, Blagoveshchenskaya - along the entire length of the coast, entrance to the beaches is free, although sanatoriums, boarding houses, children's health camps, recreation centers and so on are adjacent to them. From the land towards the sea you have to walk not even a dozen meters until you are up to your chest - a haven for children and adults who cannot swim.

Taking into account the fact that the sun shines over the resort all 280 days a year, the water quickly warms up after the off-season, and you can swim in it next to dolphins from the end of April to the beginning of November inclusive. The beaches are landscaped in a European style - canopies, lifeguard trailers, toilets, of course - sun loungers and deck chairs, there are also those that turn after the sun, and an even tan forms on your body. Doctors are on duty. Catamarans, “bananas”, “tablets”, parachute flights over the sea - there are other attractions. At the border of the beach area there are cafes, canteens, kiosks with soft drinks, ice cream, and souvenirs. Near the Central Beach there is a Summer Stage, where concerts of show business stars take place in the evenings to sold-out audiences.

There are both pebble beaches and rocky ones in Anapa. They start immediately after the sandy one towards Malaya Bay, Mayak, and then Maly and Bolshoy Utrish and stretch for about three dozen kilometers. Landscaped. And at Bolshoi Utrish, holidaymakers can expect a dolphinarium with a theater under open air, where in high season There are several performances in a row per day, and after masterly fantastic performances, dolphins jump out of the sea onto the platform and willingly pose with the audience for a TV camera or camera, winking at you with their smart and cheerful eyes. Pleasure boats depart from the marine terminal and berths in other places according to schedule. They are also accompanied by dolphins, in addition to seagulls, albatrosses and other birds that live by the sea, swimming familiarly in it.

Beaches of the Gelendzhik resort

The beautiful name of the resort city is beautiful and translates - “White Bride”. Although its origins are rather sad. Once upon a time, here at the Gelendzhik Bay at the foot of the Markhot ridge, the slave trade flourished. Foreign rulers specially sailed here for white-faced women, whom they bought as slaves or took as wives. This is where it came from - “The White Bride”; by the way, on the Central embankment there is a monument to her, visible even from the heights of the surrounding peaks. So, it is known for certain that the coastline stretches for almost a hundred kilometers. Twenty and a half of them are beaches. Do you dare?! A little more than a fifth of the coast, other places are difficult to access: the Great Mountains stretch along them Caucasus Mountains, and the rocks approach directly to the water or go straight into the sea.
The best of the best, of course, is Central Beach. It occupies an area of ​​five and a half hectares. It is more than a kilometer long and varies from three to eighty meters wide. It is estimated that there are 114 total beach areas (large and small) at the resort. The central beach is artificial, made of river sand. It starts from the beach of the Primorye hotel, breaks at the sea station, then continues to the Dolphin water park. Gelendzhik Bay looks like a huge horseshoe. Along it there are 24 beaches: “Côte d'Azur”, “Krucha”, “Gardens of the Seas”, wild “Sosnovka”, “Sandy Bottom” and others. By the way, Gelendzhik has the longest embankment in the world - eight kilometers. It is especially beautiful from the heights of the Markhot ridge, from its observation deck. And from the heights of two chairlifts leading to its top, also above the famous Safari Park, where wild animals are kept in free conditions, ranging from the light graceful fallow deer to the tiger or the king of animals - the formidable lion.

Gelendzhik has a lot resort areas- Arkhipo-Osipovka, Divnomorskoye, Kabardinka, near the Psharsky rural district - Beregovoe, Mikhailovskoye, Shirokaya Pshadskaya gap, Betta. As in neighboring Anapa, the beaches are well-maintained with canopies, mushrooms, lifeguard houses, first-aid posts, water attractions near the shore, pleasure boats ply along the waves, in a word, you can not only sunbathe and swim to your heart’s content, but also have fun. For those who like to sunbathe and dive in the warm waves, but with fewer people nearby, there are wild beaches - in the Tolstoy Cape area. Nudists are also welcome here.

Beaches of Greater Sochi

Our southern capital in the humid subtropical zone they are called so for good reason. The city stretches along the coastline for almost 145 kilometers. Of these, 118 are beach areas. And the total beach areas are already over 130! With small pebbles, an admixture of sand, rocky. Municipal free, wild and not equipped, closed at sanatoriums or at the same health resorts, but accessible to tourists. The Central Beach is popular. It is over a hundred meters long and 25-30 wide. Finely pebble. People call the beach area "SANTA BARBARA". It practically works around the clock - with cafes, restaurants, discos and so on. It is perfectly equipped - with sun loungers, deck chairs, mushrooms, awnings, there is the opportunity to go fishing in the open sea, and go on boat races with dolphins. Frequently visited by guests and local residents beaches - "Mayak", "Primorsky", "Solnechny", health resorts "Iskra", "Sputnik", "Green Grove" and others. Nudists usually gather on their favorite beach in the Maly Akhun area.

Like any large resort town on the Black Sea coast, near Greater Sochi there are many recreation areas in municipalities. Actually, the resort villages are well known among Russians and guests from abroad - Matsesta, Magri, Makopse, Ashe, Lazorevskoye, Golovinka, Loo, Dagomys, Mamaika, Khosta, Kudepsta, etc. Of course, they all have well-equipped beaches. The central beach of Dagomys stretches for one and a half kilometers. It is 70-90 meters wide. With small pebbles and sandy inclusions. By the way, Sochi is just a stone's throw from Dagomys. If you want to go by train, I wished - by regular bus or by minibus, or by taxi. Of course there are fewer people than in the city itself. And there are no less amenities - there is where to eat, something to swim on the shore or in the sea. Doctors are on duty. The beach of the resort village of Loo, neighboring Dagomys, which can be reached by the same means of transport, is somewhat smaller - 600 meters and 65 wide. But it is also convenient, and most importantly protected from the wind: it is approached by rocks painted by local young artists. Both villages have a lot of private sector, mini-hotels, guest houses, so getting a roof over your head is a piece of cake! Nearby there are sanatoriums and boarding houses where you can get medical treatment for the course. It is also well known that in the Black Sea at a depth of two hundred meters life is not possible - below is hydrogen sulfide, which kills all living things. At the same time, it is also very useful - mixing it with water is an excellent treatment. And this has been convincingly proven in Matsesta. Here, hydrogen sulfide baths treat cardiovascular, nervous, skin, ENT diseases, gynecology, and will put your musculoskeletal system in order. And the beaches of Matsesta are different - narrow, wide, but all made of small pebbles. There are even nudist ones.
