Sand or pebbles: what to choose? Pebble and rocky beaches
No matter how beautiful Crimea was with its palaces, amazing caves or ancient fortresses, people come here first of all to soak up the rays southern sun and swim in the warm sea. But even in this case nature Crimean peninsula tried to create different beaches that will make the rest in different regions Crimea is unique.
The beaches of Western Crimea: the golden kingdom of the sun
Western Crimea is perfect place for those who love beach holidays. There are much more sunny days in the western Crimea, the sea warms up better, the beach season lasts from May to October.
By the way, it is in the western Crimea that the most northern beach peninsula, which the Khazars called the "Golden Blade". This is a cozy shallow bay that goes deep into the land. From the north, the bay is protected by a chain of Swan Islands. The beach here is made of small shells ground into sand, which, due to the combination of iron in the sun, seems golden. This place is located near the village of Razdolnoye.
Bakalskaya spit: natural beach on two sides
This amazing beach, created by nature itself, is located in the northwestern part of Crimea, not far from the village. Glorious. Here nature has created a unique eight-kilometer sand bar separating the estuary and the open sea. The width of the spit is from three to eight meters, and it is dangerous to be on it in a storm. But on nice days best place not to be found for rest.
On the one hand, there is a warm estuary, the water in which warms up to almost thirty degrees. The salt level in the water is elevated - such a small Crimean Dead Sea with healing mud. The estuary is shallow, calm, the bottom is muddy, and this beautiful place for holidays with children or for those who like to soak up the warm water. But if you want to swim in the Black Sea and feel how the waves shake you, just go to the other side of the Bakal Spit.
It is worth noting that the sea here is often with high waves, so children themselves should not be allowed to go to this side of the beach, but they feel quite freely in the estuary, and stormy air is useful for its aerosols.
There is a similar bay near the village. Mezhvodnoe, also in Western Crimea. It is called Yarylgachskaya. Where the oblique divides lakes Sasyk and Dzharylgach.
Not far from these places, Black Sea, with excellent sandy beaches. There are practically no storms here, so this is an ideal place for those who like to spend a lot of time swimming in the sea.
Tarkhankut Peninsula: romantic beaches
The Tarkhankut Peninsula is the most western point Crimea. This amazing place which has become a conservation area. Tarkhankut has a huge length, but the coastline, which is suitable for a beach holiday, is only about 30 kilometers. The Tarkhankut peninsula is famous for its places created by nature itself for diving and snorkeling. It's amazing here clear water and interesting and varied undersea world who reveals his secrets to the bravest. The Tarkhankut peninsula is famous for its grottoes and cozy coves that create a protected secluded shelter, the so-called "pocket", romantic beaches, which are formed due to landslides when the soil slides into the sea faster in the center, creating such a natural amphitheater. But, it is impossible to spend the night in such bays, because with a high wave or a storm, or they are completely flooded with water. For camping, you need to choose places where grass grows. By the way, if you have too young children, you should not choose Cape Tarkhankut for relaxation, since the sea here is quite deep.
Evpatoria: children's republic
But where children will like it is in Evpatoria. No wonder this city is called the Children's Republic. According to meteorologists, it is in Evpatoria that the sunniest summer and the warmest sea. Voza here warms up to 20 degrees in May, the swimming season lasts almost until November. The seabed here is flat, without sudden holes and pitfalls.
Evpatoria is one of the best resorts Total west coast. There are many health resorts and hotels that have their own beaches. Of course, all these beaches are mostly paid, but they provide vacationers with sun loungers, umbrellas, the beaches are cleaned and washed daily. There are a lot of such beaches in the city, and you can choose according to your taste.
Evpatoria beach
Beach "Cote d'Azur"
Considered one of the most beautiful and picturesque beaches city, so wedding ceremonies are very often held here. Located in the western part of the city. The peculiarity of the beach is in a wide coastal strip, so it seems that the beach is not crowded. In addition, here you can stop by car and pitch a tent.
Separate areas for smokers are equipped, there are sun loungers, umbrellas and gazebos for those who do not like to sunbathe. Beach bars and restaurants offer a fairly wide range of menus, at fairly reasonable prices.
The bottom here is flat, the first thirty meters the water does not reach a depth of one and a half meters, so the children have more fun to frolic.
Oasis Beach
Residents of Evpatoria consider this beach one of the best. It is located on the street. Simferopol next to the hotel with the same name. It is noteworthy that the beach is located in the old town and it is convenient to come here after excursions.
The beach area is cleaned and therefore there are no cigarette butts or broken glass. All the sand of the beach is sifted through special nets. In addition, the beach is divided into paid and free zones. It is better to come to the free zone early in the morning, as there are a lot of people here.
There are separate areas for smokers and playgrounds for beach games. Of course, there are many attractions for children.
The only minus of the beach, or rather the seabed, which is adjacent to the "Oasis" is an underwater plate, which is often hit, since there are no warning signs. But, this did not stop the beach from winning as many as three shells - and this is how the best beaches are awarded in Evpatoria.
"Knight's Beach"
Once upon a time, tournaments of knights were held in this place, hence the name of this beach. This is probably the busiest beach in the city. Its motto is "Fun from morning to night". The beach will especially appeal to young people and club party-goers, for whom a variety of events are held here. At night, life here does not stop, but continues in a club format, but during the day this place turns into an ordinary beach, and free of charge.
Located "Knight's Beach" on the street. Simferopol. It is easy to recognize him by the statue of a knight at the entrance.
Free beaches of Evpatoria
Communal beach at the intersection of the street. Frunze and embankment them. Gorky.
This is one of the most crowded beaches, where it is simply impossible to retire. The beach area is quite large, but the truth is getting smaller every year due to numerous attractions and inflatable, children's complexes, which are installed here right on the sand.
Beaches on the street. Simferopol.
Along the street, many beaches have already been “cultivated” and, of course, have become paid, but there are also communal beaches that are very easy to recognize, since they are not fenced. The beach is so de quite crowded and vacationers have to crowd. Also nearby is another free beach "Solaris".
By the way, at the very end of the street you can find another free beach, a little unkempt, but not crowded. Here you can relax from the bustle of the city. The beach area is quite large and therefore it is comfortable for those who do not like big crowds.
Beach near the lake Moinaki and embankment them. Tereshkova
This is one of the few free beaches that are located in close proximity to the lake with healing mud Moinaki. The peculiarity of the beach is that instead of sand there are wide concrete steps that go into the sea. If you don't like sandy beaches, then this is the place for you.
Of course, this is only a small part of the beaches of Evpatoria, since there are more than 70 of them and they are located on a 25-kilometer coastal zone.
Further south from Evpatoria lies a chain of lakes: Sivash, Mikhailovskoe, Kizil-Yar and Sakskoe with its healing mud and many other smaller ones. Almost the entire coast is reserved for beaches that are suitable for both children and adults. The most "underdeveloped beach" of this region is located in the village. Novofedorovka. It is very convenient to get here both from Evpatoria and Sak, and from Simferopol.
In the village Nikolaevka, Coastal, Sandy beaches are already of mixed type. Here, in addition to sand, fine gravel is added. The coastline on the equipped beaches is gentle and suitable for children, but on wild beaches, the sea may be deeper and the bottom is not even, so do not leave children unattended.
The beaches of the southern coast of Crimea
Further south, almost to Sevastopol, there are no equipped beaches. This is a wild coast and you should not choose these places for recreation. The exception is the places where rivers flow into the sea. Lyubimovka and s. Uchkuevka. There are quite spacious sand and gravel beaches with a gently sloping seabed. There is a large nudist beach in Lyubimovka, which will appeal to lovers of perfectly tanned skin. By the way, Lyubimovka has one of the cleanest beaches in the area, it is not the most equipped, there is no developed infrastructure, but here you will not find broken bottles or scattered napkins.
On the outskirts of Sevastopol in Andreevka, Orlovka, Kacha, on Cape Tolstoy, good beaches are also equipped. It should be noted that in this part of the Crimea the beaches are pebbly, only sometimes there are pebble-sand beaches.
Sevastopol and its environs
There are many in Sevastopol good beaches well-appointed and clean. Sevastopol has more than 100 days in the swimming season that are safe for children, since the bays with beaches are protected from storms and therefore there are practically no high wave. But Sevastopol has another problem - stagnant water, to which sewage is added, with which the city's wastewater treatment facilities cannot cope. But there are a few places where the water is crystal clear. These are the Laspi bay and the Batiliman and Ayazima tracts. By the way, the climate here is close to subtropical, as in the Mediterranean Sea.
In Sevastopol itself and the suburbs of the city of beaches, as in any other resort town There are quite a lot of beaches in Crimea with different infrastructure and different conditions. Of course, there are well-maintained beaches, where the territory is cleaned daily, and a wide variety of services are provided to visitors. But there are also spontaneous, wild beaches where cleanliness depends mainly on the vacationers themselves.
Here are some of the beaches of Sevastopol that deserve attention
Beach "Solnechny"
Quite small, only 100 meters of sand pebble beach. It is located within the city in the microdistrict "Streletsky" on the right side of the Sandy Bay. The well-equipped beach is located in close proximity to the Tauric Chersonese nature reserve, so it is always crowded here. The water here is quite clean and warm.
Beach "Sand"
Located next to Sunshine. This is one of the oldest beaches in the city and also one of the cleanest. It is worth noting that the beach is well equipped for children. The seabed here is flat, and there are almost never waves.
Beach "Victory Park"
It is located directly next to the park of the same name, not far from the Zurbagan water park. The beach here does not go out into the bay like many other Sevastopol beaches, but into the open sea, so the water here is quite clean. The only negative is the rocky bottom, so you need to be careful.
There are a lot of eateries and cafeterias around the beach where you can have a tasty and inexpensive meal.
Blue Bay Beach
It is located almost on the outskirts of the city, this is its most southwestern part. This is a picturesque, pebbly beach, which is very popular with divers and snorkellers. "Blue Bay" is located in a place protected from prying eyes, it is not crowded and will appeal to those who do not like crowds and want to take a break from the bustle of the city.
Beaches around Sevastopol
We must not forget that in the district of Sevastopol there are very picturesque places where you can also find many beaches. According to both the Sevastopol residents and vacationers, the most beautiful beaches are located on Cape Fiolent. Royal, Jasper, Silver - some names say that this place is of extraordinary beauty. Basically, these are unequipped beaches, which you need to come with your own bedspreads, and here you will find the benefits of civilization that city beaches are full of. But this is the beauty of such beaches - you can enjoy the beautiful nature, not disfigured by human activity.
Lost World Beach
About it amazing beach few people know, and less people visited here. This beach is located in a protected area in the tract Kakzan-dere. On all sides the beach is surrounded by hard-to-reach rocks and protected forest, so you can only get to the beach by boat. The journey from Sevastopol will take about an hour. The beach is small and almost deserted. But here you can feel a real fusion with nature, you can’t even believe that a noisy city with thousands of tourists is located very close.
Big Yalta: the very south of Crimea
From Cape Aya and further to the east, cozy bays and picturesque cliffs alternate. This is where it starts mountain Crimea and therefore the beaches are mostly pebbly, the seabed is more steeply sloped and rounded stones or even whole boulders can be found at the bottom. But do not be afraid to hurt your legs - the water here is surprisingly clean and the bottom can be seen even through a two-meter water column.
The warmest place in Crimea is Miskhor beach and park. in winter average temperature Miskhor is 1 degree higher than in Yalta and 4 degrees higher than in Simferopol. The beach here is artificial, made of pleasant, well-rounded gravel. On the one hand, Miskhor props up Ai-Petri, and on the other picturesque rock with the funny name Bagel because of the hole that resembles this bakery product.
Ecological balance south coast mainly depends on limestone rocks, of which there are quite a lot. These are breakaways from southern ridge Crimean mountains pieces of rock that over millions of years have become separate elements of the landscape. bathing season here it lasts from the end of May to October.
Yalta, Gurzuf, Partenit, Livadia - these famous resorts located on the shores of wide, semicircular bays, where hundreds of thousands of tourists come every year. Many beaches that are not within the city are bordered by small amphitheaters made of rocks, creating comfort and some privacy for vacationers. Although on south coast Crimea is difficult to find a secluded place - in holiday season there are a lot of people here.
More about the beaches of Yalta
There are a lot of beaches in Yalta, for different tastes, both paid and free. It all depends on the hotels that are located nearby. Almost all beaches are pebbly, the sea goes deep into the depths, so you should not let the children go alone here. There are several beaches of Big Yalta that I would like to especially note.
Massandra beach
The beach is located within the city of Yalta immediately behind the sea station. Since 2010, the beach has been annually awarded the Blue Flag, which is awarded to the best beaches in Europe. It is worth noting that this is the first beach in Crimea, which managed to receive such an award. The blue flag is given to the beach for meeting different standards. Among them: free entry, a ban on entry with animals, a ban on the entry of vehicles, weekly water testing, sand cleaning, showers, a first-aid post and a toilet on the beach and other parameters.
The beach is divided into several sectors - there are both recreation areas and playgrounds and entertainment areas. On the territory of the beach there are volleyball courts, tennis courts, cozy bungalows and much more that will make your vacation on such a beach memorable.
Also on the beach there is a developed infrastructure, here you can find any service, from a gym to a tattoo parlor. Cafes and restaurants offer a varied menu. It is worth noting that life on the beach practically does not stop; in the evening and at night, beach discos and parties are held here.
By the way, in 2014 the beach of the Intourist hotel also received the Blue Flag.
Livadia beach
The beach is located in Livadia, 3.5 kilometers from Yalta. This is one of the cleanest beaches in the world. free entry with amazing picturesque nature. You can go down to the beach on the underground elevator or on foot through the park of the Livadia Palace.
The beach is free and unlike other pebbles, it is run-in and does not prick. The beach is divided into several zones, you can rent umbrellas or sun loungers for an additional fee. By the way, there are much fewer people here than in Big Yalta, so the beach is more suitable for those who do not like crowds.
In general, it is rather problematic to find a sparsely populated beach on the southern coast of Crimea. A huge crowd of people who come here to relax occupies almost all the free space. Therefore, in the vicinity of Yalta, there is a problem with cleanliness on the beaches, so here, the less locality, topics better beach. Very beautiful beaches in Simeiz, where the mountains practically run into the sea. Especially beautiful beach"Blue Stones", although getting to it is not so easy - in order to go down to the water's edge, you need to make some effort.
Nikitsky beach
Although this beach is not the most comfortable, but it is one of the least crowded beaches. True, it is better to get to it through Nikitsky Botanical Garden, wander along the picturesque alleys and go down to the sea. The beach does not have a developed infrastructure, sun loungers and umbrellas have been here since Soviet times, but here you can stay in relative seclusion and enjoy the picturesque views of Nikitsky Park and the azure sea.
It is worth noting that there are quite a lot of stones of different sizes, both on the shore and in the sea, so this beach is not very popular. But if you go to Cape Martyan, you can breathe in the purest air, where the aromas of the sea and juniper are mixed.
seaside beach
This is one of the oldest beaches in Yalta. He is very popular among local residents as well as among visitors. The beach is free, so it's always crowded. Behind separate fee you can rent a sun lounger or an umbrella.
There are quite a few cafeterias around the beach, and food stalls where you can have a fairly inexpensive meal in between sun and sea baths.
Foros beaches
In general, Foros is different from Yalta and other resorts on the southern coast. clean water. It is here that the inhabitants of Yalta come to rest, preferring Foros private beaches. It is worth noting that almost all the beaches of this resort are free. The depth of the seabed is from 3 to 6 meters. Underwater currents adjoin the shore almost close to the shore, which purify coastal waters. The beaches in Foros are made of small pebbles. There are many cozy bays that create comfort and romance. But for families with children, the city beach is perfect, where everything is equipped for families.
Alushta beaches
The administrative division of Yalta and Alushta is separated by the Ayu-Dag mountain, so there is no particular difference between these resorts. In Alushta, as well as in Yalta, in summer the number of tourists increases by several thousand times, so almost every centimeter of the coastal zone is reserved for the beach. It is worth noting that a lot of juniper is planted in Alushta, which exudes a marvelous aroma, so when coming to Alushta, one cannot fail to note its clean air.
Beaches in Alushta, just like in Yalta, are paid and free. Paid beaches are mainly related to some hotel, which is located nearby. The advantage of paid beaches is that there are much fewer vacationers, and the service is much better.
The beaches of Professor's Corner
This is a whole series of beaches, most of which are paid. The Professor's Corner is built up with luxurious hotels, each of which has taken its place coastline. Paid beaches are clean and ennobled. The infrastructure is well developed here, and the service and entertainment that they offer will definitely find their consumer. But, it is worth noting that the fee charged for entering the beach includes the rental of sun loungers and umbrellas. In addition, there are many shops with “resort” equipment nearby, where you can buy masks, swimwear or sunglasses.
There are only two free beaches on Professor's Corner. One is between 64 and 65 buns, and the second beach is generally not very suitable for a beach holiday, as it is completely littered with stones, and you can only get to it by swimming.
Beach "Laskovyi Bereg"
Being in Alushta, one cannot but visit the Laskovyi Bereg beach. This is the largest beach in the city. The beach is free, but its infrastructure is at a decent level. Toilets, showers, a first-aid post - all this is provided to vacationers free of charge. But in order to take a place on the "Laskovy Bereg" you need to get up early - after 11 am, you are unlikely to find it.
The beach is covered with small pebbles, for a small fee you can rent a sun lounger or an umbrella. Around the recreation area there are many cafes where you can have a cheap meal. It also offers many activities, such as banana rides or inflatable slides for children.
Fishing camp
This place is located four kilometers from Alushta. It is a long, narrow coastline with a pebbly beach and a pier. It is not as crowded here as in Alushta, but, of course, there are not all the benefits of civilization. And if you can have a bite to eat in the surrounding cafes, then you need to stock up on clean water, a deck chair or a mat.
The sea here is clean, the seabed is flat. There are plenty of places to swim and frolic. But even with a slight wave of the sea, you will have to be located on the pier, since the coastline is very narrow. There is also the opportunity to go fishing, not without reason this place is called Rybachy camp.
Bay of Love
One of the most beautiful places Big Alushta. This is a picturesque bay hidden from prying eyes, probably because it has been preserved because it is not so easy to get into it. The Bay of Love is located near the village of Rybachye. This bay is half of the ancient, extinct volcano, so its shape is almost a perfect semicircle from all sides protected by rocks. Many people think that the only way to get to it is by sea, but this is not true. There is a so-called goat path that leads through the rocks, right into the bay. But if you decide to get there in this way, pick up comfortable shoes, as you will have to go down into the bay along a steep mountain path.
There is a legend that those who spend the night here will be very happy, but it is better not to stay on the beach for the night, because in case of a storm it is completely flooded. You can wait in one of the secret caves.
The water here is amazingly clean, the bottom is rocky and looks through even a few meters. You can watch for marine life or just swim in the crystal clear waters.
Western Crimea: mountains and sea
Western Crimea attracts primarily with its amazing nature. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than a combination of mountains and sea, and therefore true connoisseurs of nature come to Western Crimea. There are not many resorts here, most of which are located in small villages: Kurortnoe, New World, Ordzhonikidze, Koktebel and others.
New World beaches
One of the most beautiful places in Crimea, with an amazing combination of the purest sea water, gray mountains and green juniper. It may not have as much entertainment as in other resorts, but it more than pays off. magnificent views. Novyi Svet is a lost village, fenced off from civilization, surrounded by mountains.
New World beach
The sea here is very clean, and the beaches are located on the banks of the multi-colored Bays: Blue, Blue and Emerald. There is Royal beach, Turtle Bay, which was chosen by nudists and other small pocket beaches, located among the amphitheater of rocks. In the New World, the beaches are made of fine shell sand, which is pleasant to lie on, but at the same time the water will not be cloudy. The seabed in the Emerald Bay, where main beach gently sloping and safe for children, but on wild beaches the bottom goes more abruptly, so you should not let the children alone on them.
The beaches of Sudak
The beaches of Sudak are located on a two-kilometer coastline that runs parallel to the city streets. There are both paid and demon paid beaches. Perfect for kids? Urban, central beach or beach children's camp"Seagull", where the bottom is cleared of stones, shallow, and equipped with buoys. There are many entertainments on the beaches of Sudak: water rides, inflatable complexes, beach volleyball courts, etc. The beaches are equipped with showers, a first-aid post and toilets. Along the perimeter there are numerous cafes and stalls with homemade wine where you can have a bite to eat.
The beaches of Koktebel
Vacationers leave the most mixed reviews about the rest in Koktebel. The city is located in a small bay called Tikhaya, which speaks of climatic features this place. The bottom is flat, sandy and it is good to relax here with children. But on the other hand, the city came almost close to the sea, and therefore the beach here is quite small. To get a place on the sand, you need to get up early. This is one of the biggest problems of the city, since there is nowhere for the beach to expand, and it is becoming more and more difficult to accommodate everyone during the season every year.
Koktebel beach
There are also paid beaches, but they are not able to cope with the influx of tourists. Koktebel is a small town, and although they try to provide a variety of entertainment, they still cannot be compared with the capabilities of other resorts.
Beaches of Feodosia
Apart from Kerch, Feodosia is the only relatively big city Western Crimea. The dignity of Theodosius are great beaches where even during the peak season you can always find a free place. There are several beaches here, each of which has its own merits.
But, it is worth noting that the sea in Feodosia is a little cooler compared to other resort towns. The city is located much to the north than Sudak, Alushta and other cities, and it has access to the open sea, so the water balance is constantly changing. This makes coastal waters much cleaner, but also colder. In addition, there are frequent waves at sea. Another problem of Feodosia is the pitfalls that you can hit hard.
Most of the beaches in Feodosia are free, and there are about ten of them in Feodosia. Sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented for a fee. There are toilets, showers, playgrounds for sports games and children's attractions. I would especially like to note " Children's beach» - here everything is equipped for children's recreation. The seabed in this place is gently sloping and almost 50 meters shallow.
One of the most refined beaches with developed infrastructure Disco-117. This is not just a beach, but a real one. entertainment center under open sky. There are billiards, tennis courts, a disco bar and other entertainment. The beach is located on the outskirts of the city and can be reached by fixed-route taxi №4.
"Golden Beach"
Already outside the city, along the Feodosia-Kerch highway, the Golden Beach lies for fifteen kilometers. This beach is in the top ten the best beaches Crimea. Golden sand, which gave the name to the beach, a gently sloping pebble seabed and picturesque nature - all this attracts quite a few vacationers. Since the beach is located seven kilometers from the city, Golden Beach has acquired its own infrastructure. There are many boathouses and mini-hotels where you can have a good rest. The beach is equipped with showers, toilets, a first-aid post and a number of children's attractions.
The beaches of Kerch
Kerch is the most eastern city in Crimea, is located on the border of two seas: the Black and Azov, which makes the rest here unusual and interesting. There are many beaches where you can have a great rest without even going deep into the peninsula. It is worth noting an interesting pattern that in the city itself the beaches are not as ennobled and well-groomed as in the suburbs. Very often they are overgrown with grass and algae washed ashore, so in Kerch you should not look for housing in the city center.
Arshintsevskaya Spit
This is one of the most famous beaches Kerch Peninsula. The beach is quite extensive with a width of 20-40 meters and runs for three kilometers. Arshintsevskaya Spit attracts a lot of tourists every year. Concrete breakwaters are laid out in several places, sea grass, which is found on many beaches of Kerch, is practically absent here. The bottom is flat and does not deepen sharply, so the water warms up very quickly and remains warm for a long time. The beach is not equipped, there are no showers, and there are too few toilets. It will please those who love beach holidays and not very selective.
City Beach
It starts from the southern outskirts of the city and runs for almost two and a half kilometers. The beach is sandy, its width varies from 100 to 150 meters. You can always find free space here. The seabed here first sharply goes into the depth, and then becomes shallow again - this is called the Azov bar. The water warms up to 27-28 degrees, so this is one of the best places to relax with small children.
Entrance to the beach is free, but if necessary, you can rent sun loungers or umbrellas. There are equipped showers, toilets, first-aid posts. There are many attractions and water activities. The beach is one of the most equipped not only in Kerch, but also in the Crimea. The only drawback is that the beach is far from the city center. Get here by bus number 5, number 10, number 41. The trip from the Bus Station takes about 40 minutes.
The beach in Geroevsky is very similar in its infrastructure, where a lot of vacationers also come.
General's beaches
Located near the village Generalskoye near Kerch.
This nature reserve where amazing beautiful nature and clear sea. There are no equipped beaches here, but they are not needed, as people come here to be alone with nature. The sea here is shallow, but there may be stones, so you need to be careful. It is worth remembering that you cannot litter in such places, and therefore everything that you brought must be taken with you in order to preserve this beauty for future generations. There are amazingly beautiful landscapes here and if you are looking for beautiful place for marine photography you just need to be here.
The beaches of the Azov coast
The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov is not deep, and therefore it warms up much faster. The water temperature here fluctuates between 26-28 degrees, the bottom is flat and, probably, there is no better place to relax with small children on the Crimean peninsula. Here wide sandbars lie for tens of meters, wide sandy beaches and the complete absence of waves.
There is no Crimean peninsula on this side big cities, with a developed infrastructure, so you can choose one of the small villages for recreation. And then you will choose: Semenovka, Yurkino, Osovino, Novootradnoye, Mysovoye does not make much difference, the conditions are almost the same everywhere. The village of Zolotoe stands a little apart. Here the sea is a little deeper, and there are always few vacationers. This place is perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday.
From the village of Kamenskoye, the Arabat arrow stretches 100 kilometers deep into the sea. A number of hotels, boathouses, frame houses and even ordinary trailers have been built here, where you can have an inexpensive rest on the sea. There is not much to do here, but if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will love this place.
Choosing a place to relax by the sea, we also choose the beach. Therefore, the question of which beach is better: with sand or with pebbles - surely confronts any of us. Especially if we are going on vacation with a baby. After all, a vacation by the sea is not only a gentle sea and a hot sun, but also relaxation or games by the water.
Let's look at all the pros and cons in order to make a choice, as they say, with open eyes.
Where is the best place for a child to play? From the sand he can build castles, dig canals and reservoirs in it. After all, it is no coincidence that children love to play in the sand so much! Then they will have expanse on the beach! But even on the pebbles, children will find something to do: you can build towers from pebbles. And you can also select them by color and size, make a mosaic out of them, and so on. Sand has only one indisputable advantage in terms of games: you can play ball and run on it. On the pebbles you have to walk carefully, but running is completely impossible.
In terms of convenience, there is perhaps no doubt that sand has a distinct advantage. Of course, it is soft, warm, it is pleasant to lie and sit on it. You can burrow into the sand and warm up the whole body in this way. Pebbles are more rigid, lying and sitting on it is not so comfortable, it warms up more. And how uncomfortable it is to walk on it! Although, on the other hand, there are flip flops ...
But pebbles have a massage effect on the foot, and we all know perfectly well how useful it is. Sand does not have this property. He, of course, is also not bad in his own way, but he is far from small pebbles. And hot stones warm up perfectly. Another question is whether the child will agree to walk barefoot on pebbles. But this question may also apply to sand - it all depends on the child. White quartz sand also warms up well, by the way.
In terms of health, everything is also undeniable. Sand is a real hotbed of infection, because it is stuffed everywhere: in a swimsuit, in a mouth, in a bag and a towel, in food. The sea, of course, washes it, but does not wash it, there are quite enough various mucks in it. It is especially dangerous if it gets into the mouth. And with enough strong wind sand can be poured into the eyes.
Pebbles, of course, cannot get into the eyes or mouth. But on the other hand, you can twist your leg on it, and if the child falls on the stones, it will hurt much more than on the sand. You can even bleed your knee.
