List of the best beaches of Sudak in Crimea

Summer is a great time that ends quickly. And therefore, spending it on finding suitable vacation spots, hoping for good luck, is hardly reasonable. When traveling to the Crimean city of Sudak, you need to know the maximum of nuances and subtleties about what awaits tourists.

Wherever travelers go in the city of Sudak, no matter which beach they choose, they will see landscapes characteristic of Crimea. First of all, these are individual mountains and entire ranges. Their not too steep slopes are covered with vineyards. Built in the Genoese period, the fortress still looks majestic and formidable. Clouds sweeping from above add a romantic mood.

Any of the Sudak beaches, including the best ones, are located in a chain. First, 2.5 km of curved coast (including Cape Alchak and Fortress Mountain), and then 7.5 km of partially or completely wild areas - this is what the beaches of Sudak are.

On most of the coast lies coarse quartz sand.

At the same time, there are also other areas:

• simple sandy;
• covered with pebbles;
• combined type.

In Sudak, you can find yourself on any beach without any problems. The width of even the narrowest sections is 30 m. There are many attractions and entertainment facilities in the city. Tourists have access to many options for living quarters, a lot of restaurants. But if travelers are interested in exactly the best parts of the coast, then you should pay attention to the Crab Island.

It is not difficult to find him - there is Fortress mountain.

The island is reached by ford left after the partial destruction of the sand embankments. You can also get there by swimming or by catamaran. The beach on Crab Island is not very large, but there are excellent diving conditions.

In clear water, you can easily see even the smallest stones, nimble crabs. Enjoying the warm sun surrounded by water, while watching the walls of an ancient fortress - what could be more beautiful? It is not without reason that photographers and selfie lovers often travel to Krabiy Island.

Deserves attention and Mojito beach. It is located exactly opposite the Crab Island. The territory is covered with umbrellas and sun loungers, there are a number of cafes on it, and many catamarans and kayaks move along the coast. "Mojito" is 100% covered with concrete, and even the sand was brought here from afar. This decision was the only option to prevent coastal erosion.

The Mojito is very spacious and free. You will have to dive into the water from the stairs. This beach offers beautiful views of the mountains and the fortress.

In the water near "Mojito" you can see the characteristic stains from gasoline. They are left by boats, which are immediately rented. The beach is hardly suitable for children, as the descent to the water is very steep. And the abundance of large sharp stones at the bottom is not very conducive to a comfortable rest.

Family lovers are advised to visit beach "Arzy". Its name is associated with the nearest open-air cafe.

"Arzy" is clearly divided into 2 segments, and vacationers have the opportunity to move away from the cafe. Employees are vigilant to ensure that the area is clean. The beach is equipped with all the necessary accessories: umbrellas and sun loungers.

For an additional fee, you can take a boat trip.

There is also a tour desk nearby. The quartz sand is pleasant and comfortable, the entrance to the sea is also very convenient, and it is not difficult to get to the nearby embankment. In Sudak it is not only a place for walking, but also a street with cafes and entertainment venues. The only problem is that the prices in the Arzy cafe are not justified either by the variety of assortment or by the quality of food.

The largest area in Sudak is occupied by the central beach. It stretches from the mooring complex to the Brigantina boarding house, which has its own coastal plot.

The site in the center of the city is ideally equipped and covered with sand for a width of about 30 m. The pebble fragment begins only at the water's edge. On the central beach, it is convenient to enter the water, and the depth begins gradually. You will have to walk, have fun and eat on the concrete embankment located just above, behind the fence. It is estimated to be very convenient. Walk to the bus stop for about 10 minutes.

Those who wish can always rent a catamaran or visit extreme attractions. The territory is equipped with:

• rescue posts on towers;
• cabins for changing clothes;
• sanitary zones;
• available free of charge awnings.

There is an even more popular (so-called Kolkhozny) beach. Finding free space on it, even in the morning, is quite difficult. During storms, the water is invariably agitated. Continuously moving boats and cutters also cause problems. But the advantages of this site can be considered an abundance of entertainment, convenient location and proximity to the transport hub.

"Kolkhozny" is recommended for those who value the party pastime, for their colorful and varied impressions. It is also suitable for those who decide to rent a house closer to sea water. But romantics and connoisseurs of secluded relaxation have nothing to do here. This site got its name in those ancient times, when cattle were driven to it for street trading. Now a guideline when searching for a beach can serve as water park "Water World".

The "collective farm" section of the coast is covered with sand and shell rock. It is quite spacious, but it also has a number of disadvantages. The infrastructure is weak. For relaxation, you have to bring your own towels and umbrellas. If neither this nor the large filling of the coast frightens you, you can safely go here.

It is much more pleasant, however, to visit beach "Meganom", occupying the cape of the same name. The distance between Sudak and the beach is 9 km. The bay where it is located is surrounded by rocks and high hills.

The infrastructure at Meganom is well developed - there are:

• sun loungers;
• boat rental services;
• transportation by ATVs;
• a cafe;
• small shops;
• awnings.

Nearby semi-wild camping will suit most people. "Meganom" is partly covered with sand, partly with pebbles. However, it is better to walk on it in sturdy shoes. There are many sharp seashells and slippery stones along the coast. It is very difficult to get to this beach, and the landscape is not very interesting (there is almost no vegetation).

In some places it is difficult to enter the sea. In addition to sharp stones, algae also interfere. You will have to take drinking water with you to remote areas. But the territory is perfect for those seeking to feel the unity with nature. Buses run on Meganom from 7:30 to 19:30, and on the way back they leave until 20:00.

A prime example of such beach activities is Soldaya. It received this name in honor of an elite boarding house, which owns a section of the coast.

Visitors can easily walk along convenient paths to the sheds, to the sea itself, and to the cafe. Meals at Soldaye are very expensive and not everyone can afford it.

Some people therefore prefer to go to the beach near boarding house "Brigantine". Its advantages: comfortable accommodation near the waterfront and a decently developed infrastructure. The beach is not very large, however, the strip of sand suits most people.

Every morning everyone can join the fitness training. To freshen up after class go directly to the sea.

VVS sanatorium beach not too comfortable. The coast is quite narrow, and a lot of space is occupied by structures that hold the sheds. But the territory is accessible to anyone, which is not so often found on land belonging to sanatoriums.

Among the "aviation" beaches, silence and tranquility stands out "Healing", and the arrangement and abundance of entertainment - "Heat".

Beaches at the sanatoriums "Sudak" and "Horizon" are very similar to each other. Massive awnings have been built here since Soviet times. The territory is equipped with breakwaters and lattice fences. The sand strip is quite wide and the cleanliness is well maintained. It is especially good to relax there when the sanatoriums themselves are not overloaded, but the beach does not represent something extraordinary.

To buy even water or ice cream, you will need to go to the embankment. Moreover, one should not expect that it will be possible to get a full meal on the sanatorium beaches. But if you get a vacation in the sanatoriums themselves, you can count on:

• a cafe;
• the shops;
• billiard rooms;
• cinemas.

It is appropriate to start a survey of non-standard beaches for vacationers from Cape Alchak. It occupies a very special place in Sudak. After all, the protected area begins from here, and therefore even the lack of landscaping did not prevent the owners from collecting fees.

The length of the beach at Cape Alchak is approximately 100 m.

The coast is covered partly with coarse sand, partly with pebbles. On the cape itself, the vegetation is rather scarce, but the rock ledges look very good.

There is no natural shelter from the sun. It is advisable to have in reserve and comfortable hiking shoes, because there may be a desire to climb the hill.

The road from the water park to Cape Alchak by bus route 1 or 2 will take 15 minutes. You can also go by car. In this case, they are guided by the previously laid tracks. The area is quite beautiful, the coast is relatively clean, but not always convenient for recreation. Large pebbles predominate, the sea near the coast is shallow, and warms up by the end of May.

More comfortable are:

• "Lagoon";
• Miami;
• "South coast".

Sun loungers and umbrellas are rented on these beaches. You can eat in a cafe, just sit on the benches or have fun on the rides. Among the wild beaches, it is not recommended to visit Medvezhonka. It is rather dirty, and abandoned buildings spoil the whole view created by mountains and steppe grass. In addition, this place is actively used for walking dogs.

Slightly more enjoyable camping "Kapsel". Its territory is guarded, and dog lovers, as well as those who like to throw out garbage, are not allowed there. However, the shower and toilet are present only in the "travel" version. For fans of romantic leisure in the bosom of nature, this should not be a serious obstacle. The payment in "Kapsel" varies according to the type of housing: they will accept it for 400 rubles with their own tent, and they will settle in a house for 1200 rubles per day.

Important: all the beaches that are in the area of ​​the Fortress Mountain are flooded with streams of water and mud when it rains. They pour straight into the sea. That is why it is worth going there only after a few days of good weather. In the shallow part of the bay, a mass of algae gathers, covering the coast after storms. It is hardly reasonable to come here in August, because there is a great danger of collision with jellyfish.

The best time to visit Kapselskaya Bay is in the last days of June and early July. It’s not bad here in spring, when winter gloom gives way to bright, rich colors. The sea breeze refreshes, invigorates and helps to cure lung ailments. There are also non-standard beaches in Sudak. The main nudist resting place is located at the foot of Bolvan Mountain.

There, sunbathers are located on wide boulders of large size.

An alternative can be another beach - to get to it, you need to go around Cape Alchak, and then move in the direction of Feodosia. This is a path only for courageous people, because not everyone will be able to cross the narrow bridge over the abyss, holding only by the cable. On the other hand, the atmosphere at the target is absolutely extraordinary.

But the opinion of the nudists themselves is that the best choice would be Turtle beach. It's much easier to get there - you just need to go by your own car or by minibus. The end point of the trip is the village of Novy Svet. From it, vacationers go to Mount Sokol. For fans of experiments, however, any secluded bay between Alchak and Meganom is suitable.

Several decades ago, Sudak was considered a boring and faceless city, and even the beaches did not improve this picture too much. A positive feature of the coast, judging by the reviews, is that it is unique - it is impossible to find places with quartz sand anywhere in Crimea. The views from almost any part of the embankment are very good.

For children, the shore of the Sudak is almost ideal. Entertainment near the sea is quite common on the peninsula.

Bananas, boat trips, parachute flights are available.

Despite all this, experienced tourists advise against going there during the high season. A visit to Sudak can be combined with a tour of the New World. The vast majority of holidaymakers are satisfied with the local beaches, even if the requirements are great. In terms of equipping, they are not inferior to other places on the Crimean coast.
