The legality of closed beaches. How to open a boat station

* Calculations use average data for Russia

One of the favorite types of recreation for Russians is rest on fresh air. It can be own country cottage area, forest, reservoir. The latter are the most popular in summer time: which Russian does not like after active rest, delicious shish kebab and hot drinks to plunge into cool water? Rivers, lakes and ponds are simply occupied by vacationers in summer. Even though part bathing season traditionally held at sea - on inland or foreign resorts, - this does not come at the expense of recreation on local reservoirs.

And here, for those who want to relax, there are two options: choose a "wild" undeveloped beach, or give preference to a paid beach. Considering the realities of our environment modern world, in the first case, we are most likely waiting for a free stretch of coast, generously fertilized with organic and inorganic traces of all the tourists who have visited this place over the past decade. At the same time, no one guarantees the convenience of the site for the location of such amenities as a tent, table, barbecue, etc. on it. Just as no one guarantees the quality of the bottom of the reservoir, its suitability for swimming. Not to mention such simple human amenities as a shower, toilet, shop, etc.

The second option of the disadvantages has only a certain, established by the owner, the cost of the guest's stay on its territory. Except for this, a paid beach has a whole range of advantages. This includes compliance with the norms of the SES (Rospotrebnadzor), cleanliness on the beach, a prepared bottom, equipped descents into the water, and the availability of infrastructure. Infrastructure refers to: changing cabins, toilets and showers, sun loungers, tables, gazebos, barbecues, etc. As well as the availability of additional services for cooking, selling drinks, renting catamarans, boats or scooters. As a matter of fact, the range of services is limited only by the imagination of the owner of the beach.

Let's try to calculate how profitable the business is for the organization paid beach. The most important factor on which perhaps 80% of the success of an enterprise depends is the location of the territory. To a certain extent, the location can be determined by the positioning of the enterprise - and vice versa if the budget is relatively small. Let's explain. The beach can be equipped on the territory in the immediate vicinity of the city - within the reach of walking or public transport. For such a beach, extended infrastructure, although desirable, is not mandatory due to the fact that its attractiveness will be provided by transport accessibility. Accordingly, investments in its organization will be required less than when organizing a remote beach. Remote beaches are usually created near certain natural attractions, in protected areas or simply cozy corners. However, in order to attract visitors, one well-groomed beach is not enough. A much broader infrastructure will be required - cafes, shops, possibly houses for spending the night, a bathhouse, and so on.

The territories of the beaches belong to the state and are not for sale (at least according to the legislation of the Russian Federation). The beach can be rented for a long time, for which you should contact the Property Fund of the region or region. As a rule, open tenders are held for the right to lease a site; the one who proposes the highest amount wins. The initial amount of trading depends on many factors: geographical location object, its area and shape, availability of communications, demand, availability of infrastructure or buildings on the territory, etc. Thus, it is extremely difficult to determine the cost of renting a site. According to the Property Fund Rostov region, the cost of renting land plots, depending on their location and purpose, can range from 50 to 5000 rubles per hundred square meters. By interpolation, you can come to a result for a site suitable for organizing a beach in the immediate vicinity of the city - 2000-3000 rubles per hundred square meters.

The optimal size of the beach is from 150-200 meters in length along coastline and at least 20-30 meters deep; the broader the range of services is assumed, the great depth infrastructure will be required.

As with any public place, the beach is subject to a number of requirements from various authorities, primarily from Rospotrebnadzor. The list and qualitative composition of the requirements depends on the class assigned to the beach. According to order No. 1215 of July 11, 2014 of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the classification of beaches is carried out on a voluntary basis. Classification is carried out by organizations accredited by the Ministry of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy; a certificate of assignment to a certain category is issued for a period of three years, after which a repeated certification procedure is required.

According to Order No. 1215, the classification of beaches includes an assessment of compliance with "requirements for security, information support, the provision of additional services on beaches and the assignment to beaches of the categories provided for by this Classification Procedure." Below are excerpts from the Order regarding the objectives and certification procedure.

“Beaches can be independent, or united by one territory into a complex with certain boundaries, which covers a number of objects tourism infrastructure(accommodation, food, health, entertainment, etc.).

“Beaches must meet safety requirements, confirmed by the conclusion of specialized organizations in terms of life safety, health, safety environment, as well as the information support requirements specified in the classification of beaches (Appendix 28 to the Classification Procedure) of this Classification Procedure.

“In accordance with this Classification Procedure, the classification of beaches is carried out in the following categories: I, II and III. The highest category of the beach is I, the lowest is III. Information about the corresponding beach category is communicated to consumers by displaying a flag. Flag colors: blue flag - for category I beach; green flag - for category II beach; yellow flag - for category III beach.

As mentioned above, depending on the category assigned by the supervisory services, certain requirements are imposed on the beach. In fact, there are not so many global differences between the highest and lowest categories. These include, for example, the mandatory presence on the beach of category I medical care, the presence of children's areas, walking paths and other amenities for the disabled, umbrellas and sun loungers, as well as food and entertainment points made of light structures (non-stationary trade, peddlers are allowed for category III beaches).

The general requirements for all categories are: the presence of a rescue service, toilets, changing cabins and showers; before the start of the swimming season - cleaning the bottom from glass fragments, sharp stones and other dangerous objects, as well as conducting a study of water quality for compliance with microbiological parameters; equipment for children's and adult bathing areas.

Also, the beaches must meet the requirements of the Fire Supervision. To obtain an opinion from this body, you must provide: acts technical condition fire protection, acts of measuring the insulation resistance of the electrical network and lightning protection, a contract for Maintenance fire protection equipment or a service license, as well as a number of other acts and constituent documents.

And, of course, it is obligatory to register a business entity with the tax service, the statistics service. All the bureaucracy described above can take six months or more, so if we plan to open the beach by the beginning of the next season, we need to start preparing from the end of the current one.

By the way, about seasonality. The beach in the conventional sense, of course, is associated exclusively with summer vacation– the season of its operation for each region is limited by the number of months warm enough to rest near the water. However, if there is a certain infrastructure and a program of events, visitors can also be attracted outside the season. This can help, for example, a heated pool, sauna; many recreation centers and beaches organize mass festivities with swimming in the hole on Epiphany. The list of activities is limited - again - only by the imagination of the owner of the beach. In general and average, high season three summer months can be attributed here, during May and September average attendance should be expected, and in the remaining months - its complete absence. When calculating the profitability of a business, we will take weekend attendance in July as 100%; weekdays in summer will be 50%; weekends in May and September - 70%; weekdays of the same months - 20%. It is easy to translate this data into the number of days in a year with 100% attendance - we get 77 days. Subtract from here 10% falling on rainy days, round up - a total of 70 days of beach operation per year.

Daily revenue will depend on the established rates and range of services, as well as on the absolute number of visitors, which will largely depend on the area of ​​the beach. According to sanitary and epidemiological standards, for freshwater beaches, 1 person should have at least 8 sq.m. usable area beach, i.e. area unoccupied by various structures. Thus, based on the size of the beach 200x20 m, of which 30% is reserved for infrastructure, we get the maximum allowable number of vacationers - 350 people.

To determine the average amount of the check, you need to understand what will be charged for and in what amount. In practice, today such holiday destinations use such monetization objects as:

Car entry to the parking lot - 400-500 rubles;

Entrance of a vacationer to the territory - 200 rubles per person;

Renting a covered gazebo - an average of 1500 rubles per gazebo.

Optionally, here you can add the rental of sun loungers, sports equipment, boats and catamarans, the revenue of food outlets, etc.

We calculate the annual revenue at the minimum, based on the fact that 20% of visitors are children, from whom no fee is charged, there are 5 pavilions on the territory, and the number of cars in the parking lot is 10% of the number of vacationers. Such a small percentage is due to the fact that the beach is within the reach of public transport, and up to 5 guests can arrive in each car. Thus, we get:

To maintain the beach, we will need: lifeguards, cleaners, security guards, a master in the maintenance and repair of engineering networks, a beach administrator - this is the bare minimum of personnel that does not involve a wide variety of services. This line-up can be extended by those responsible for equipment rental, food vendors, chefs, animators, etc. The beach schedule is at least 12 hours a day, seven days a week, which implies a minimum of two shifts of workers. Since it is about seasonal business, then the wage fund should be calculated only for the season. Here, however, we are not talking about a conditional season of 70 days, but about its actual duration, which will be approximately 150 days. At the current level of wages, labor costs with social contributions will amount to approximately 1,500,000 rubles.

The cost of utility bills, equipment repair and maintenance of the territory will be taken at the level of 100,000 rubles per month during the season.

The annual cost of renting the territory is equal to:

Gross profit for the year will be:

A very good indicator, provided that the calculation considered a minimum set of services and a relatively small area of ​​the beach. With more optimistic calculations, profits can reach 5 million rubles or more per year.

Investment costs are also not amenable to unambiguous definition, because. the need for preparatory work, such as uprooting trees, cleaning the territory, planning it, filling it with sand, installing fences, cleaning the bottom of the reservoir within the length of the beach - all this is calculated based on the characteristics of a particular site. Nevertheless, in order to navigate the numbers, we will take as a basis data from open sources - about 2,000,000 rubles for earthworks and sand delivery, 500,000 - for equipping the territory with gazebos, changing cabins, umbrellas and other things. At least 500,000 rubles should be allocated for other engineering work, in particular for the installation of communications. Well, keeping in mind where and what time we live, we should be prepared for the fact that when bidding for the right to lease a site, there will be a corruption component, because. municipal property, and in particular land, are the object of special financial interest both on the part of entrepreneurs and officials. Thus, the initial costs will be from 3 million rubles. With the right work, these investments will pay off by the middle of the second year of the beach operation.

From possible risks It should be noted:

Adverse weather long duration, natural anomalies;

Wrong choice of beach location in terms of logistics;

Violations of the requirements of supervisory authorities;

Inattention to the cleanliness of the beach and the bottom of the reservoir, as well as the low level of quality of services provided, which leads to a decrease in visitor satisfaction.

By paying due attention to reducing these risks, the entrepreneur has every chance to get the planned level of profit from the enterprise.

Creating conditions for mass recreation residents and the organization of arrangement of places for mass recreation of the population refers to the issue local importance settlements, urban districts and is established by various regulatory legal acts, including the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation (Article 8), the Land Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 7,8,11), the Federal Law "On the General Principles of Organizing Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation" dated 06.10. 2003 No. 131-FZ (articles 14,16). beach recreation safety hygienic

The requirements for ensuring the safety of people on beaches and other places of mass recreation at water bodies are determined by the Rules for the Protection of People's Life at Water Bodies, and the criteria for the safety and harmlessness of water bodies are established by the current sanitary legislation. The Federal Law "On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population" dated March 30, 1999 No. 52-FZ (Article 18) determines that water bodies used for swimming, sports, recreation, including water bodies located within urban and rural areas settlements should not be sources of biological, chemical and physical factors of harmful effects on humans.

Permission to use a water body for specifically indicated purposes is allowed if there is a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion on the compliance of the water body with sanitary rules and conditions for the safe use of the water body for public health.

Criteria for the safety and harmlessness of water bodies for humans are established by SanPiN 2.1.5.980-00 “Hygienic requirements for the protection of surface waters”.

Hygienic requirements for places of organized mass recreation of the population near water bodies are defined by SanPiN 42-128-4690-88 "Sanitary rules for the maintenance of territories of populated areas" and GOST 17.1.5.02-80 "Nature protection. Hydrosphere. Hygienic requirements for recreation areas of water bodies", namely:

• * compliance of the water quality of the water body and the sanitary condition of the territory with hygienic requirements;
• * the presence or possibility of constructing convenient and safe approaches to water;
• * availability of access roads to the recreation area;
• * safe bottom relief (no holes, thickets of aquatic plants, sharp stones, etc.);
• * favorable hydrological regime (absence of whirlpools, currents over 0.5 m/s, sharp fluctuations in water level);
• * lack of possibility of unfavorable and dangerous processes (landslides, landslides, mudflows, avalanches);
• * should be removed from wastewater discharge sites, cattle camps and watering places, as well as other sources of pollution and located outside the sanitary protection zones of industrial enterprises and on the windward side in relation to sources of environmental pollution and noise sources.

The equipment of the recreation zone and ensuring the safety of the use of the reservoir and the beach are carried out by organizations and enterprises that are or will be in charge of the recreation zone.

When calculating the required area of ​​the beach area, one should proceed from the norms of at least 8 square meters. m for the beach on watercourses and reservoirs per person.

When calculating the area of ​​the children's sector, one should proceed from the norms of at least 4 square meters. m per person.

The border of the swimming area should be marked with identification marks. The bathing area in the children's sector should have a bottom with a gentle slope, with a predominant depth of 40 - 50 cm, but not more than 70 cm.

The following functional zones should be allocated on the territory of the beach:

40 - 60% - recreation area (aerarium, solarium, shady canopies).

Shading of certain sections of the beach should be provided with shady canopies, umbrellas, awnings, taking into account the use of the latter by up to 40% of vacationers on the beach;

• 5 - 8% - service area (dressing rooms, rental building, buffets, kiosks, etc.);
• 10% - sports zone (table tennis, volleyball, badminton, diving towers, boat station, etc.);
• 20 - 40% - green area;
• 5 - 7% - children's sector. For children under 8 years of age with play facilities (sandboxes, swings, etc.);
• 3 - 5% - pedestrian roads.

The recreation area must be provided drinking water that meets the requirements of hygienic standards. Showers must be supplied with potable water.

On the territories of the beaches it is necessary to arrange public toilets at the rate of one place for 75 visitors. The distance from public toilets to the bathing place should be at least 50 m and not more than 200 m. When installing toilets, sewerage should be provided with sewage disposal to treatment facilities. In the absence of sewerage, a waterproof cesspool is required.

Garbage containers with a capacity of 0.75 cubic meters. m should be located on concrete sites with convenient access roads and are installed at the rate of one container per 3500 - 4000 sq. m of beach area. Garbage should be taken out daily.

Litter-bins must be placed at a distance of 3 - 5 m from the strip of green spaces and at least 10 m from the water's edge. The urns must be arranged at the rate of at least one urn per 1600 sq. m of beach area. The distance between the installed urns should not exceed 40 m.

Near the recreation area, the arrangement of open parking lots for personal and public transport should be provided.

The technical staff of the beach, after its closure, should carry out the main cleaning of the coast, changing rooms, toilets, the green zone, washing containers and disinfecting toilets. Patrol cleaning should be done during the day. It is allowed to take out the collected waste until 8 am.

Open and closed locker rooms, dressing pavilions, wardrobes should be washed daily with disinfectant solutions.

Every year, clean sand or pebbles must be poured onto the beach.

In the presence of special mechanisms for sandy beaches at least once a week, mechanized loosening of the surface layer of sand should be carried out with the removal of the collected waste. After loosening, the sand must be leveled.

In places intended for swimming, it is strictly forbidden to wash clothes and bathe animals.

The village of Partenit is one of the pearls of Big Alushta. In Soviet times, it was called Frunzenskoye. Very close to Ayu-Dag - the famous Bear Mountain.

The central part of the village is occupied by the military sanatorium "Crimea". Cosmonauts and marshals rested here. Nearby, in the Chukurlar tract, there is the Aivazovskoye rest house. Former health resort of the Presidium Supreme Council The USSR first passed to the Kyiv bosses of the Verkhovna Rada, then it was bought by the Ukrainian oligarch Sergei Taruta.

Now the Bear Mountain from Partenit is closed to the castle. The leadership of Alushta demanded from the "Military sanatorium" Crimea "of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to ensure free passage to Ayu-Dag, which was blocked on June 5.

Unknown people blocked the path, where three days before the museum route "Ayu-Dag - the holy mountain" was opened to the public. This was announced by the head of the city administration Igor Sotov.

“Before, there was a free passage there, and there were no problems. We sent a letter to Krym asking them to allow access to the mountain. Haven't received a response, we're still waiting. If necessary, we will contact the leadership of the republic,” Mayor Sotov says.

"Aivazovsky" seems to be nationalized by the Republic of Crimea. Although ordinary Crimeans have nothing to do with the health resort. To go to the park and the beach - pay 200 rubles for an adult and 100 for children. If the jocks-guards see the camera, they demand another thousand for shooting.

... The Partenitovsky sanatorium "Crimea" has long captured almost the entire coastal strip of the village. His state act on the land is called illegal. But this does not prevent blocking access to the sea.

The road to the central beach is the main artery necessary for the normal life of Partenit. Without it, the entire resort industry will collapse. And this road now and then is blocked by a "sanatorium" fence. And the path to other beaches is very long and inconvenient. Vacationers scandal and refuse rented housing.

Residents of Partenit have already gathered numerous protest rallies several times. People are ready to block the Yalta highway. The authorities of Alushta are trying to make compromise decisions. However, nothing happens - it turned out that the closed territory of "Crimea" no longer belongs to the village housing stock.

They say that the land near the Bear Mountain has attracted very important gentlemen who are preparing to finally re-register a tidbit of a long beach area, beautiful bay, unique southern vegetation. And then the partentes and guests of the village can completely forget about free access to the sea.

Summer 2014 passed relatively calmly here. Still, they reunited with Russia, and the elections were just around the corner. The checkpoints of the sanatorium were opened, everyone was allowed on the beach. And in the fall, the gingerbread ended. The area was closed to tourists in general. Locals were allowed in from 8.00 to 18.00, and then with a passport.

MP from the Communist Party Pavel Stepanchenko appealed to the prosecutor's office of Alushta. He documented that the state act on the land was obtained by a false decision. However, the deputy's request was "hushed up": from the prosecutor's office the materials were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from there to the Investigative Committee, then again to the police. As a result, the refusal to initiate a criminal case. It turns out that law enforcement officers confirmed the unenviable fate of a wonderful village.

Has begun new season. The situation in Partenit is heating up. Having learned about the "closed sea", vacationers massively refuse to book. That is, the resort sector can get up together and go to drown. These are hundreds of families that have practically no other source of income.

Pavel Stepanchenko tried again to submit a request to the Alushta session demanding an inspection of the health resort. Now this request is addressed to the Prosecutor of Crimea. The deputy was supported by the public prosecutor of Alushta. But the "United Russia" majority refused to vote for the communist's initiative. Like, it’s useless, they won’t open the territory anyway: “It’s now the Russian Ministry of Defense ...”

The May decade in Partenit completely failed. Tourists were not allowed on the beach even for money. People turned around and left. Who agrees to rest on the sea without the sea?

On the eve of the opening of the 2015 holiday season, outraged residents of the village announced that they were blocking the roads in protest. The community asked one question - why are officials and deputies not lifting a finger to finally open the beach to tourists, who provide the main income for local residents? There are two possible answers: the government is completely incompetent or it is "in the share".

On May 26, when the people really went out into the street, they began to let everyone in through the checkpoint of "Crimea" and for free. The village celebrated the "victory", but rejoiced early. The permit was valid only until June 5…

Scandals with closed beaches are now spreading along the entire coast. The off-season was not enough to solve the most acute resort problem left over from the sad memory of the Ukrainian heritage. Alas, the new Russian owners are not at all willing to part with coastal property. It seems that this is a scandal forever, that is, forever.

A year ago, in Crimean spring» Throughout the peninsula, local self-defense broke illegal fences blocking free access to the sea for residents and vacationers. Crimean TV willingly filmed stories about how combatants cut beach gates in Alupka and others luxury resorts South Coast.

The grinder saws rang, a rusty fence fell - the first persons of the government "promoted" on the beach theme, especially acute for resort Crimea. But now, thanks to the new law "On resorts, natural healing resources and health-improving areas", anyone can fence off the beach for themselves - already "legally".

That is, if the beach is part of a health-improving area, it can be built up. Thus, any hotel with five rooms or more, located on the beach, can obtain a medical license, for example, for massage services, and then close access to the beach as an institution with medical functions, - explained the activist of the Clean Coast. Crimea” Alexander Latipov Latipov.

An inveterate lobbyist has a different opinion closed beaches, head of the commission of the State Council Alexei Chernyak. He argues that such a law is necessary for the republic.

Here we have a clinical sanatorium "Livadia" in Yalta. There are people after a coma, after a heart attack and a pre-infarction state. They are undergoing rehabilitation, they need rest. And if a child suddenly runs next to them, in whose hands the balloon, or someone will open a bottle of champagne, how do we put such people on their feet? - explained the parliamentarian.

It's hard to argue with champagne on a heart attack beach. After a long and tedious winter squabble, the law was adopted "with minor amendments." Purely formal amendments did not change the essence of the matter - closed beaches became legal. Outraged activists appealed to the prosecutor's office of the Crimea. The current vein Natalia Poklonskaya protested the law. Reason - its separate articles violate the Water Code of the Russian Federation, which says that the beaches are open and public

The republican parliament formally granted the protest of Nyasha the prosecutor. But immediately, government officials made a decision de facto reactivating their lobbying law.

Now, on the recommendation of the Ministry of Resorts, the right to assign categories to beaches has been given to municipalities. It would seem logical when local authorities the authorities became masters of the coast. Who, no matter how municipalities, will take care of the interests of their residents and guests of the republic?

Here is a completely strange comment from Sergei Aksenov. It is not clear whether the head of Crimea was joking or speaking seriously:

You can't see the beaches from the Council of Ministers anyway. Municipalities, in my opinion, are better able to deal with them. We understand that we will not be able to establish systemic control over them. But we will ask the local authorities for order, cleanliness, the admission of people to the beach ...

The result is there. “For example, the beaches “Demerdzhi” and “Porto Mare” in Alushta clearly illegally received the status of medical: they are in full swing trade, restaurants operate. There is absolutely nothing medical about it. In addition, there are also ashtrays,” testifies the chairman of the organization “Clean Coast. Crimea" Vladimir Garnachuk.

Today, people cannot go to many beaches of the southern coast of Crimea. In Gaspra and Simeiz, there is virtually no free coastline. Incredibly, departmental sanatoriums closed even those beaches that were open last summer. The cut fences went up again.

In Yalta itself, several city beaches are closed at once. The most popular "Massandrovsky" is divided into closed sectors and open area, which is filled with paid sun loungers.

Often, municipalities openly refuse to serve free beaches. It is very similar not to sabotage, when the coastal strip is brought to the level of a dirty dump. The authorities seem to prove the "meaninglessness and non-competitiveness" of such public resort facilities.

The current garbage apocalypse has become a huge scandal in social networks. municipal beach Yalta. Good old Gorono beach near seaport- mountains of sewage, broken bottles, puddles of urine in the corners, no toilets and changing rooms, no water either ...

Literally the other day, after wide publicity in the media, the city authorities lazily deigned to remove the garbage. However, the locker rooms and toilets did not work.

The video continues to gain likes on the network, where a Russian woman complains about her vacation in Crimea, spoiled by closed beaches. The video caused a great public outcry. The Crimeans confirm that access to the sea is stupidly sold, and the current "healing beaches" are not health-improving at all. They are simply closed to the public.

Arbitrariness is created by almost everyone coastal areas peninsulas. The Sevastopol tract Baltiliman is completely sealed by departmental and private fences. There are many such examples. Here is a characteristic Facebook post from Olga Tesnino, a resident of Feodosia:

"Urban-type settlement Kurortnoye, Feodosia district. Throughout their lives, people have been going to the sea through the boarding house "Crimean Primorye", the road to the sea does not belong to the boarding house, and he himself is leased for 49 years. The director of the boarding house decided to close the gate and the gate, thereby closing the access to the sea. People asked in a good way, removed the lock, after which the gate was welded. For two days, the residents tried to agree on the opening of the road to the sea, but the director did not agree to resolve the issue amicably. Mothers of many children with prams and children, disabled people, locals and the guests must go around in the heat, up the hill, to the other end of the village, to the other gate of the boarding house, which the watchman with the dog in the evening may not open on the order of the director. Residents wrote a letter to the administration of the city of Feodosia and the prosecutor's office. Question: when will access to the sea be opened? Residents threaten to demolish the gate along with the structure, the patience of the people is over!”

Two weeks ago, Elena Yurchenko, Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea, lost her post. But what a stunning revelation she made as she moved on to another leading job in the apparatus of the republic! According to a senior official, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation allows you to block access to private beaches.

So Ms. Yurchenko responded to the appeal of the head of the public organization "Civil Assets of Koktebel". The official paper says the following:

“In accordance with Article 209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the owner has the rights to own, use and dispose of his property ... Access to beaches located within the boundaries of private land plots, as well as artificial beaches as part of private coastal protection structures of private ownership, may be limited by the owner this property."

It became clear that all the promises to "open the shore for the people" were empty words. The minister pointed out to the public, they say, over the past year in the Crimea, up to fifty public beaches have been added. And everything else is "the property of the owners who have the right to block access."

If the ministry has identified beaches that are privately owned for some illegal reason, then let them take action, - outraged activist of the NGO "Civil Assets of Koktebel" Olga Adamenko. - Why explain the Civil Code to us? We know what private property is. And we know differently that beaches cannot be privately owned.

As our website “Anti-Fascist” has already written, social activists have prepared an extensive and extremely conclusive selection of the norms of Russian legislation, to which “beach owners” appeal. Article 27 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation prohibits the privatization of land plots within the coastal strip. Free use of the coastline is guaranteed by article 23 of the same Land Code and a number of other state regulations. Creation necessary conditions for mass recreation of the inhabitants of the settlement and ensuring free access of citizens to public water bodies and their coastal strips is determined by the federal law "On the general principles of organizing local self-government" and article 262 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Paradoxically, it was this legislative document that the ex-minister of resorts cited as an example, defending a certain “right” to close access to Crimean beaches! ..

The legislation of Ukraine, which has been in force in Crimea for more than two decades, has allowed a number of officials and businessmen to become real "owners" of the coast. But even Ukrainian law nominally required to ensure the availability of beach areas. However, independent masters of life wanted to spit on legal norms. And the same lawlessness continues on the shores of the Russian Taurida?

All medical beaches, not equipped necessary equipment according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, they will be deprived of a license, - the new Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea Sergey Strelbitsky said soothingly during a recent Simferopol-Moscow teleconference. - The laws of Russia clearly state what a therapeutic beach is, what should be on it. If we see that the requirements are not met, then we will deprive the beach of the status of a medical one. Now in Crimea all conditions have been created for the beaches to be open and accessible, but their owners lack control.

The minister claims that relevant requests have been sent to all local administrations. Local authorities are required to provide all information about recreation areas by the sea within a few days. These data "will subsequently be published in the media." Yes, there are a number of beaches with limited access, "where children with cerebral palsy or people in the postoperative period relax." The main thing is that on the territory of the peninsula there should be no more than 10% of the total number of such beaches.

We are preparing a guide for tourists, which we will distribute free of charge at the airport, so that guests can quickly navigate and know where there are recreation areas and beaches. We will respond to all signals that will come from the inaccessibility of the beaches, - S. Strelbitsky assures.

… Just such a signal came the other day from the resort Koreiz. The local departmental sanatoriums "Dyulber", "Ai-Petri" and "Miskhor" completely blocked the seashore for residents and guests of the village.

The First Deputy Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea, Igor Kotlyar, held a meeting with the heads of sanatoriums and "discussed the possibility of unimpeded visits to the beaches of health resorts."

The answer of the directors is that we will not let anyone in during the season. And government officials have come to terms with the situation.

“Most of the beaches of Koreiz are used by sanatoriums and resorts. In accordance with the law, these beaches are therapeutic, intended for the stay of vacationers who are undergoing treatment in health resorts, and should not be publicly accessible,” Mr. Kotlyar himself officially noted.

According to him, the leadership of the sanatoriums "Ai-Petri", "Miskhor" and "Dyulber" expressed their readiness to provide free access to everyone to part of the territory medical beaches- but "during the period of incomplete loading of health resorts." That is, in winter.

... (with flight), and the cost of the tour includes the use of beach(!!) will be forced, together with other guests of the health resort, to share a narrow strip beach with "bastards"? Could you please explain what we are talking about... to cancel the ticket - to cancel the reservation, to return the air tickets? Why, one wonders, pay for a crowded beach? Please understand my concern. Well, really, you don’t want to get a spoiled vacation when ... it turns out differently. Or maybe there is hope that in our amazing country severity laws compensated for by their non-fulfillment, and the same fate awaits this beach order? A? Thank you in advance...

Nadia from the Mysterious Sea ... closed beaches. The argument that it would be better to improve the free ones is useful, but you don’t think - what will happen next? And a concrete example of "what will happen next" - here it is, in Anapa. It was a wonderful child beach... , then they gave it to the tenants, who seem to have made it free, but boorishly clutter up beach lashes of their sun loungers and require the purchase of seats for money. Abomination. In addition ... from citizens for the use of territories, nothing to do with their lease legal not having. This is why I am STRONGLY AGAINST any form of paid closed beaches. The accumulation of capital is only a matter of time. And the result...

There are few beaches in Russia. Correspondents" Russian newspaper"Walked along the coasts and found that they are generally in short supply. Especially well-maintained. And all the more unpleasant when a barrier blocks the way to the promised sand. Paid beach! There are more and more of these.

Lawyers and experts say that it is illegal to charge an entrance fee to a beach near a river or sea. "Read the Water Code of the Russian Federation. There, water bodies that are state or municipal property are publicly available. This means that anyone has the right to access them," lawyer Dmitry Zheleznov explains to RG. The coastal strip 20 meters wide is publicly accessible. Fences and barriers that interfere with the passage to the beach are illegal. By the way, rivers, lakes and seas cannot be private in Russia.

At the same time, the concept private beach"In Russian legislation, there is still. But it only applies to recreation areas near artificial reservoirs- ponds or pools. For example, in Omsk, in the city center there is a beach by the pool. An hour of stay in a fenced area will cost 300 rubles. There are several beaches with a pool in Moscow. And only on them you can charge an entrance fee.

Tricks of the beach price list

The law allows you to rent a beach. But here experts urge to pay attention to the details: what does such a lease agreement provide for? "The beach itself is not rented out, but an agreement is concluded for the placement of non-stationary retail facilities.

That is, the tenant is allowed to place a certain number of NTOs selling ice cream or renting umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach,” says Sergey Menzheritsky, head of the All-Russian environmental movement Open Coast.

However, tenants often go to the trick. They set a fee for services, but you cannot refuse them. For example, in Volgograd, 25-30 rubles per person are charged for entering the beach, but the visitor receives a sunbed for free. In fact, he pays for renting a sunbed, but he cannot refuse it. A similar situation in Khabarovsk, the beach tourist complex"Zaimka Plyusnina" paid. The cost of the entrance ticket is 200 rubles. But the use of sun loungers and umbrellas, a shower and a changing room, a swimming pool, a beach volleyball and beach tennis court is already included in the price. The same scheme works in Vladivostok.

At the entrance to the beach "Riviera Laguna" the visitor will pay 50 rubles. The price includes a free toilet, playgrounds, a shower, a wooden deck chair.

Pull off two skins

In some regions, tenants manage to make a profit at a double rate.

They also set an entrance fee, and additionally take money for services. In Rostov and its environs, for several years, it has been operating for half a dozen popular beaches to which you should not come without money: "Carrera", "Stereoplyazh", " Blue Lakes", a beach on the Salt Lake near Bataysk. Some of them position themselves as beach clubs, where concerts and festivals take place in the summer.

The entrance fee ranges from 50-60 rubles to 300 rubles. And that's not including service fees. For example, entry by car costs from 100 to 300 rubles.

And since some paid beaches can be reached public transport difficult, there is no choice to pay or not to pay for parking. Beach visitors will also have to pay for using the toilet.

The hotel is expensive

It is not easy to deal with seaside resorts. For example, officially there are no paid beaches in Crimea. But not in fact.

Especially a lot of them south coast Crimea - in the vicinity of Yalta. And the prices bite. For example, the entrance to the beach of the hotel "Respect Hall" costs 1000 rubles. In most sanatoriums, to access the beach, you need to pay an entrance fee to the territory. For example, the entrance to the territory of the sanatorium "Dnepr" costs 60 rubles, the sanatorium "Aivazovskoye" - 300 rubles.

In "Aivazovsky" you will have to pay another 350 rubles for a deck chair with an umbrella. Set a price record health resort complex"Mriya" in Opolzneve, where you have to pay about 4 thousand rubles for access to the equipped beach.

Sergey Menzheritsky explains that the beaches of sanatoriums also cannot be paid. All the same rules apply, a plot for a sanatorium is issued only up to a coastal strip of 20 meters.

But in fact, many resorts close access to the beaches adjacent to their territory and make them free only for their vacationers.

In addition, beach tenants go to such a trick: they make them so tight with sun loungers that you like it or not, but you still have to pay for the rent of this "piece of wood" or a piece of plastic.

But, fortunately for vacationers, this is not the case everywhere. There are more on sea ​​coast commercial free beaches. In the village of Chernomorskoe on west coast, for example, and in Feodosia on east coast there are no paid beaches either - only free ones.

Managed to return to the people

Residents of many regions still manage to defend free entry to the beach. In 2015, the fenced beach of Lipetsk and the paid beach near entertainment complex"Riviera" in Kazan.

Now an active struggle against the invaders of the coastline is being waged in Dagestan. The problem of access for vacationers to the Caspian Sea is acute in the region. The entrances to almost all beaches, especially in the immediate vicinity of Makhachkala, are blocked by barriers, and access for the "wild" tourist is strictly prohibited.

The prosecutor's office of Makhachkala appealed to residents and guests of the republic's capital and asked them to report all the facts of illegal installation of barriers, fences and charging for passage and travel to the shore.

And in Sverdlovsk region residents of the village of Sanatorny came out with their own initiative against the paid beach. They wrote a collective complaint about the charging for access to Lake Baltym. Now, this fact is being checked by the prosecutor's office, the department of Rospotrebnadzor for the Sverdlovsk region and the regional ministry natural resources and ecology.

Suffice it to recall the recent scandal in Khimki near Moscow. 10 million rubles were invested in the improvement of one of the beaches from the budget. And after the completion of the work, access to the beach became paid - 700 rubles. The fight for this beach continues...
