Overview of the beaches of Gaspra in Crimea

Tourists who have chosen Crimea for their summer vacation can combine business with pleasure by going to the village of Gaspru. The proximity to the main attractions, the cleanest and warm sea, beaches with useful shale sand, oxygen-enriched air - all this attracts many tourists.

Everyone's familiar embankment in Gaspra is absent due to the fact that the settlement is located on the mountain slopes. And the territory along the sea is divided by hotels and sanatoriums, which have organized beaches and recreation areas on it.

Nevertheless, the embankment in Gaspra is a concrete structure, varying in height due to coastal irregularities. All along the promenade, you can find many breakwaters that provide the beaches of Gaspra with crystal clear sea water.

Comparing the public beaches of Gaspra with neighboring cities, one can note their greater comfort and facilities:

• even covering with shale sand (sometimes with an admixture of pebbles and small stones);
• gentle descent into the sea (which is important when resting with small children);
• purity.

Access to the territory of many beaches is limited or is possible for a fee. But for the "savages" there are free recreation areas. Thus, a municipal beach has been organized, the entrance to which is open to everyone.

The territory of the municipal beach is located on a 400-meter stretch with sand and pebble cover and a gentle, even descent into the sea. Equipped with awnings and trash cans.You will have to pay for everything else: a chaise longue, an umbrella (if there is not enough space under the shed), a toilet, a first-aid post. There are no shops or food outlets here, but you can often find vendors of soft drinks, fresh fruits, nuts and other food.

The disadvantages of a municipal beach are:

• high season overcrowding and lack of space;
• cleaning is carried out every few days, which affects its cleanliness.

For lovers of secluded relaxation in Gaspra there is a place called "Passes"... It is located between the Swallow's Nest and the Parus rock and is a rocky coastline with large stones and fragments of slabs.

As mentioned earlier, the entire coastal area is divided between hotels and resorts. Free entry and use of all inventory is allowed only to customers. However, it is possible to get to private beaches on different terms.

It has a sand and pebble cover and a flat, gently sloping entrance to the sea. The view of the local landmark "Swallow's Nest" is considered especially attractive.

The beach of the sanatorium is equipped with sheds for vacationers, a first-aid post, a toilet, changing cabins and showers. And also here you can have a snack in a small cafe and buy memorable gifts in souvenir shops. You can use the services of a travel agency and a massage therapist. The territory is divided into 2 parts, the entrance to one of which (General's beach) is prohibited for outsiders.

The length of the territory is 140 m with pebble cover. There are sun loungers, beach towels, changing cabins, toilets, showers, catering points. For children, there is a separate play area with an open-air pool, where you can use the services of animators.

Bored tourists are offered services for renting water equipment and attractions, the opportunity to play tennis or billiards under a canopy.

To get here, you can walk along the coastline, walk down paths, or use the elevator (for a small fee). But also sun loungers, umbrellas and towels, animation services in the children's park will be paid.

A small area of ​​the coastal zone with sand and pebble cover and a flat, gentle descent into the sea, equipped with wooden sheds, is not much different from the numerous coastal areas of Gaspra. There are also sun loungers, umbrellas, toilets, a first-aid post, showers and changing cabins. Vacationers can use the rental offices. On this territory you can have a snack and drink refreshing drinks in a small cafe.

The only distinguishing feature of the beach is that you need to get to it by cable car going from the sanatorium to the sea. Another important point is cable car opening hours (daily lunch break and closing before dusk).

The beach area of ​​the sanatorium has a medium pebble cover with a comfortable entry into the sea. The territory has a toilet, changing rooms, showers, sun loungers under awnings, a sun terrace, a fitness room, a tennis table and billiards. There is also a swimming pool for vacationers. For those wishing to eat, there are 2 cafes with a decent menu to choose from.

Small pebbles, a gentle and even entrance to the sea and mountainous surroundings (provides protection from bad weather) give the status of favorite beaches among vacationers.

The territory of the coastal recreation area is divided into 2 parts, one of which can be occupied by guests of junior suites and suites from the sanatoriums "Marat" and "Park Chair", for the rest the entrance is prohibited. All others can rest on the rest of the territory.

The beach is equipped with sun loungers, a toilet, a first-aid post, changing rooms and showers. And also you can ride a jet ski, catamaran and "banana", book an excursion. There is a small cafe for those who are hungry.

To get here, you need to go down the winding steps, or take the cable car. On the way to the beach, there are many stalls with a variety of souvenirs and essential goods.

The territory of the coastal zone is covered with small and medium pebbles, the entrance to the sea is sandy and pebble, flat and gentle.

One of the most democratic in relation to outsiders. Therefore, in the high season, it is very crowded here. But, despite the influx of tourists, it is considered one of the most well-groomed and cleanest beaches.

All the infrastructure necessary for a comfortable stay is presented on the territory. There is a cafe where you can taste local alcoholic drinks (cognac, wine and champagne), delicious ice cream, seafood dishes and herbal tea prepared according to an original recipe.

For outsiders wishing to relax here, admission is free. Only a fee is charged for using the elevator and, if there is a shortage of free seats on the sun loungers, for the delivery of an additional seat (since rest on the pebbles will not be to everyone's taste).

There are many similar beaches belonging to various sanatoriums. And all of them, to a greater or lesser extent, are considered paid. For entry, travel or use of equipment on their territory, a fee is charged.

According to numerous reviews of vacationers, the settlement is very badly lacking urban beaches for the population with decent conditions for a comfortable stay. As well as the remoteness of the coastal zone and the need for daily descent along paths and stairs, leaves negative memories of a vacation in the village of Gaspra.
