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 beaches of 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 district. 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 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 sand strip along the sea. This quiet place, with nature almost untouched by man, where the wind walks in the open, it 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 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 need 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 healing mud, so one of the beaches is called 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 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

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.
