Review of the best beaches of Crimea

The Crimean Peninsula is truly a treasure trove of attractive and well-equipped resorts. Anyone who comes here on vacation can find for themselves the most attractive place with a clean beach and water.

A place with a unique and unforgettable name can be attributed to the best beaches of the Crimean peninsula. "Tsarsky"... You can find this unique place in the village of Novy Svet, which stands out among other settlements for its unique nature. It allows you to tune in a romantic mood - everything around is filled with inexplicable mystery.

The steep cliffs located here, groves of juniper and pine trees, deep ravines with their own unique microclimate, mysterious paths laid through the forest, winding down to the sea, cannot but take your breath away.

Near the mountain called Echkidag there is another, no less remarkable for tourists the bay, which the locals call Fox... Its peculiarity is that it collects nudists on the territory of its beaches. The place is perfectly hidden from prying eyes, and from the coastline there is a view of the picturesque Karadag reserve.

Turning again to the best beaches in Crimea, one cannot but pay attention to unique coast that Miskhor can boast of... It is here that numerous tourists can get acquainted with the statue of a sad mermaid that froze in the water. A talented sculptor worked on the sculpture, so it looks attractive even after decades. It is best to go on vacation here from May to November.The warm climate and well-developed infrastructure will surely please.

Another auspicious place where nature is famous for its unique beauty is Simeiz, which in translation means "blue stones". People come here from all over the world to enjoy the comfort and enjoy the tranquility and swimming in the water. The sea, for which this place is famous, has amazing purity and transparency, the beauty of the landscapes is mesmerizing, it has inspired local artists more than once, awakening their imaginations.

A person who visits here at least once will not be able to forget the local beaches, the tops of massive mountains, and exotic nature. The easiest way to get to the place is by minibus, which regularly departs from Yalta.

You can also enjoy nature on the beaches near the village of Popovka. There is a very clean sea here, which is located far from large populated settlements, while there are no questions about infrastructure, and it is extremely necessary for tourists who prefer high-quality and comfortable rest.

What distinguishes the local air is its freshness and extraordinary aroma. It seems to be filled with sea salt and steppe herbs. In addition, there is always a clear sea, there are many well-organized beaches, the coast of which is covered with soft white sand. The village owes its unique nature to its location. Popovka stands between two salt lakes: Oybursky and Donuzlavsky.

It cannot be disputed that this is one of the most attractive places on the peninsula, which is primarily due to the unique coastline. The fine white sand creates a unique landscape. It contrasts perfectly with the clear azure water in the sea.

Here you can meet many tourists with small children, and it is not surprising, since the village and its surroundings offer all the best for small tourists: the bottom is flat, the water is never dirty, there are no abrupt transitions to the sea and holes.

There are practically no ebbs and flows, and the water temperature during the season remains at the level of 20 ° C with a plus sign. Precisely because shallow water prevails here, the water warms up faster than in other areas. The swimming season lasts until mid-autumn.

The coast of Crimea is washed not only by the Black, but also by the Sea of ​​Azov, therefore, in search of clean water, it is worth immediately determining which one is best to go to. After 2014, the tourist flow to the Black Sea resorts of Crimea has significantly decreased, so you will not be able to see the crowded beaches, where you had to come early in the morning to take a seat.

On the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, even taking into account all this, there are always several times less people, but here the coastlines suitable for swimming are very long, stretching for tens of kilometers. What is only one sandy Arabat spit?

It is imperative to mention that the entire coastline of the Sea of ​​Azov and the area under the water are covered with amazing sand of a special yellow hue, which is mixed with pieces of shells crushed by time. The area is distinguished by attractive shallow waters, where fish, crabs and other animals often swim.

In some areas, in order for the water to reach the chest, you have to walk a hundred meters into the sea. The waves are mostly small.

Despite the fact that there are no large settlements and crowds of tourists around the sea, experienced travelers say that the Sea of ​​Azov is dirty if we talk about the transparency of the water in it. For the most part, this is true: the water is usually cloudy and not so clear.It is worth saying that the mud is mainly natural mud, that is, a mixture of sand and clay present here, which rises up with waves. This feature is typical for all sandy beaches, where there are few clayey areas under water.

The Black Sea differs from the Azov Sea in that it is dominated by small pebbles, therefore there are no glue particles in the water. That is why the water here is distinguished by good visibility, but if we talk about cleanliness, and not about transparency, then there are no industrial enterprises around the Sea of ​​Azov on the shores of the Crimea, and accordingly, there are no emissions into the water. Also, there are no large settlements here, whose wastewater is often also discharged into the sea.

The entire southern coast of the Black Sea in Crimea is not sand, but pebbles, which in some places had to be imported artificially. Over time, the stones were hewn under the influence of water and ceased to be sharp, but still in such areas it is very inconvenient to sunbathe on a towel.

Sand can be seen only on the western coast, namely in such settlements as Saki, Mirny, Olenevka, or in the east: in Primorye and Kerch. The sand here is not white, but in some places it is yellow, in others it is gray.

The depths vary greatly from place to place, so not all beaches are suitable for swimming for young children.

If you want to relax in a beautiful place with clear water, but on the southern coast, then there is hardly such a place, since there are old crumbling concrete embankments along the coast. It is difficult not to notice protruding pieces of rusty pipes and fittings. Almost the entire territory here is divided by concrete breakwaters.

It is worth saying that the waves in this area can be really very large, it is they that bring seaweed and other dirt to the sea and to the shore, especially after storms, sometimes it is simply impossible to swim in the water due to the accumulation of jellyfish. Although they are harmless to humans, they are very unpleasant to the touch.

Among the numerous areas organized for quality recreation with children, the best on the peninsula is the coastline of Kerch. The local beach has undergone many changes in the past few years, the administration decided to carry out a complete reconstruction and improve its infrastructure.

Today, one of the features is cleanliness and the presence of two beach volleyball courts. In addition, cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. Here you can have a snack, enjoy cold drinks. Numerous rental centers offer to rent an umbrella or sun lounger, thereby increasing the level of comfort for your own beach holiday.

This is not the only place where you can go on vacation with your child and not worry about how everything will go. A wide coastline stretches from the Primorsky village to Feodosia. Several kilometers of high-quality sand are called "Golden Beach".

It is not surprising that this name was chosen for the described place, since the sand here really resembles gold in color. It is a real pleasure to relax here with your child, because you can run barefoot, create figures or just lie and enjoy the sun.

If we talk about the depth and quality of the seabed, then there are no complaints either. It is quite shallow here, and even after a storm, the depth does not increase. The local administration offers quality service and a well-developed infrastructure. Minibuses drive up to the beach, so you can leave from here to any nearest village, and not walk.

If we talk about the amazing places that our planet offers us, then the Crimean Peninsula is one of them. There are many attractive swimming areas on its territory, but in order not to be disappointed, you should pay attention to the rating of the best places with a detailed description.

• The unsurpassed beach of Feodosia. Anyone who is interested in spending a vacation in Crimea has ever heard of this place. The beach became famous for the transparency of the water and the sands of a special golden hue. The territory of the object extends almost to Primorsk. On the coast, there are a large number of food stalls, restaurants and cafes, where large parties are often held in the evenings, gathering tourists who have come here from all over the world.

• Golden Bay in Feodosia. It is easy to reach this place with a rented or own car, and there is also a public transport route. Although it is often crowded, people try to move over so that others can find a place in the sun for themselves.

The entire space, which is drawn by an arc, is covered with sand of a red hue. Swimming is a pleasure, because it is clean, the sea is blue, without algae. When entering the water, the depth gains very slowly. Here, the shallow water stretches for several tens of meters, so you can meet a large number of couples with children, who are easier to learn to swim in such conditions. There are buses that run to the object, the workload is minimal. You can stay on the beach with a tent, this is not prohibited.

• Kings Beach in the New World. The famous village is located not far from Sudak. The Novy Svet owes such popularity to the wine and champagne factory. In addition, beautiful junipers, museums and, of course, the beach attract attention in its surroundings. The peculiarity of this place is the pebbles on the shore and in the sea, not sand. The beach became special after historians published data according to which Nicholas 2 rested here with his family. The only inconvenience is its location. The territory is located far from the village. To get here, you need to go to the end of the road, then turn to the ravine. But it is very clean here. There are people who closely monitor that the territory, regardless of its removal, remains clean. All along the coast there are special containers where you need to clean up your garbage. It is very easy to see the shoals of small fish - the water near the coast is so clean. The entire bottom is covered with fine sand and rare small pebbles.

• Beach for youth in Yalta. According to numerous surveys among tourists, it was found that Massandra beach is very popular among young people. This is not surprising, because there is a great depth, there are places on the shore from where you can jump into the water. The only negative is the pebbles that cover the entire bottom, but this does not interfere in the summer season with tourists who take their places in the morning.

• Rusalka beach in Miskhor. The place is very recognizable for the sculpture of a mermaid, which is installed right in the sea. Nearby you can enjoy the coolness in a beautiful park with greenery and benches. The water pleases not only with its purity, but also with its temperature. On the shore you can meet a large number of tourists and locals who also come here to enjoy the sea and the sun.

• Beach at Cape Aya. Locals give this remote beach a special nickname, as all three sides of it are surrounded by large cliffs that reach more than 500 meters above sea level.Of the distinctive features - here you can see plants that are rare in the world. They greatly change the local topography, as the rocks crack under the influence of the roots and crumble. That is why this unique place is not accessible for tourists from time to time. A boat or speedboat and a cliff path are the main means of getting here. If a person is in a constant search for thrills, but at the same time is used to resting further from a large crowd of tourists, the Lost World is just what you need to look for. It is always clean on the shore and in the sea, which is good news.

• Silver beach of Balaklava. Located in close proximity to the Balaklava Bay.

• Balaklava's golden beach. It is located a little further. Due to the unique landscape that changes frequently, this name is used most often. Sometimes the whole place takes on a golden hue, which cannot but arouse admiration. To get to one of the two beaches, you will need to buy a ticket for a water vehicle, that is, a boat that carries tourists all day and finishes work at 7 pm.

• Jasper pebble beach Sevastopol. The beauty of this place lies in its content. All over the territory there are small pebbles; among the stones you can often find jasper with pyrite inclusions. Most often, Orthodox believers come here, since there is also a monument to the Holy Cross. Here you can swim, climb the steps and take part in one of the Orthodox ceremonies. Some tourists find it difficult to get here, as they have to go down the stairs to the beach and hold onto the handrails. The city administration offers another option for those who cannot cope with the load of the route - by local water transport, which departs several times a day from Koktebel.
