Beaches of Crimea: views and location

A visit to the Crimea is clearly associated with a beach holiday. But even most of those who regularly go there know about these beaches a little - they usually choose several familiar sites and calm down on that. This approach is fundamentally wrong: it is necessary to properly study the coast of Crimea.

The total length of the Crimean coast reaches approximately 980 km. It is customary to divide this coast into 3 main parts according to their geographical location. The beaches of Crimea, located on the southern part of the peninsula, are mostly small-pebbled, and occasionally only sand-covered fragments are found. In this area the coast is thoroughly equipped.

Leading the number of tourists Yalta Massandra beach. During its preparation in the 1950s, a large amount of gravel was washed over. Now it is a gray pebble strip. In the east of the Crimea peninsula dominated areas covered with small pebbles. Between them there are capes as improvised dividers.

Mountain ranges are suitable in these places almost to the shore. Bathing, you can see the brilliant landscapes of the mountains. The most attractive part of the coast is Feodosia’s Golden beaches, where small shell deposits accumulate. If tourists like exotic, they need to go on the Black, he's Royal, beach. It is located in the village of New World.

If we go to the inspection of the western coast of the peninsula, then there prevails smooth yellow sand. In general, sandy areas are more common than other options. Pebble coasts are used for seaside leisure less active. And the most exotic type is shell rock.

Let us now try to more clearly tie the Crimean beaches to specific points and cities on the map. On the Azov coast is dominated by sand and shell areas, which reach a very great length. On the Arabat Spit, the length of the beaches is at least 100 km. The so-called Generals beaches, which represent a rocky space diluted with oases of sand, are also good. Positive marks often give shore on the line Shelkino - Novootradnoe - Golden; here it is recommended to go to those who prefer clean sand.

The Black Sea shores stand out for their impressive variety. It is necessary to search for excellent sandy lanes along the entire length from the Kerch Strait itself to Feodosiya. The southern coast of the peninsula on the line Sudak - Yalta - Sevastopol is covered with pebbles and stone. The comfort of the plots varies greatly, which allows people to choose the optimal place for themselves.

You can resolve the difficulty by learning about the secluded sites in the same area in more detail. The Southern Coast of the Crimea abounds in “wild” seaside territories, where nudists, ordinary extreme lovers, willingly go. It should also be borne in mind that the southern tip of the peninsula can not boast of the high purity of the sea.

The western side is distinguished by colossal diversity, as is the southern one. The farther north, the smaller the usual height of the rocks and their steepness. North of Sevastopol and north-west of Evpatoria the coastal strip finally "calms down".From these landmarks, it is worth starting the search for sandy areas optimally adapted for family leisure. But it is important to realize that there is a mass of high cliffs between Marino and Mayak (the outskirts of Tarkhankut).

To make a formal rating for the Crimean beaches almost does not make sense. After all, all people have their own specific priorities, and any locality has its own characteristics and nuances. Therefore it is necessary to give a description of the most beautiful parts of the Crimean coast in the review. Feodosia Pearl Beach.

The broad band is used not only to accommodate guests, but also for placing sun loungers and sun umbrellas. Access to this part of the coast is completely free for all. Little visitors will be delighted by the inflatable attractions and the space for games.

Another gorgeous beach - Massandrovsky - starts from the Yalta marine station itself. There prepared a maximum of conditions to rest was pleasant and safe.

The administration has equipped cabins for changing clothes and showers, took care of the placement of rescue posts. Spa facilities are available. On the waterfront is easy to find compact cafes and shopping. Moreover, according to some estimates, Massandra Beach is recognized as complying with international quality criteria. And you can diversify leisure walks through the streets of old Yalta.

In Sevastopol, high quality is allocated to such a stretch of coast, as the Cossack Bay, on Cape Chersonese. This area is covered with stone and forms a very gentle slope. Connoisseurs of peaceful leisure come together mostly to get rid of the bustle of everyday life. Pure coastal rest can be “diluted” by renting yachts and making fascinating walks on them. You can also go on excursions to the aquarium and dolphinarium located nearby.

Moving away from Koktebel for 40 minutes, you can be on the shores of a quiet bay. It is surrounded by rocks, and the sea here is perhaps the cleanest in the area. Rocks effectively cover the inner part of the bay from the wind, even when there are serious storms on the Black Sea. The beach draws the attention of the amazing view of Cape Chameleon, so named for its unusual shape.

If the tourists were not in Koktebel, but in Sevastopol, then they would lose a lot without visiting Jasper beach at Cape Fiolent. It is separated from the city 15 km. The decisive stage - overcoming the stairs with 800 steps.

This place is hardly suitable for daily visits, however, it is worth at least once to inspect it. The shore is covered with pebbles of different colors. With luck, even jasper with inclusions of pyrite is found. The water in this place is very clean. But relatively few people, even at the peak of resort time.

Balaklava "Fig" is an attractive wild beach. Fall on it exclusively by sea. Tourists usually rent skiffs in Balaclava (nicknamed, by the way, the Crimean Venice). But Simeizskaya "Swan" - is an excellent coastal platform for recreation in the style of "nude". The name of the beach was due to the fact that it was located under the rock Wing of the Swan.

The territory is covered with giant boulders, to the limit complicating the entrance to the water. The same stones become a source of danger in windy weather. And yet, a lot of people willingly go to the Blue Bay (not only to the “Swan” itself, but also to its surroundings). Setting up a tent near the beach is impossible, as there are no flat areas. Campgrounds are located at least 100 m above the coast.

If the rest is not embarrassed by nudists, then from Simeiz you need to move in the direction of Katsiveli. Finding that the mountain on the right is Cat, and to the left is the wild coast, they are looking for a place to park.From it the descent to the sea will be 200 m. Well, the next point of the review makes you return to Balaclava again. Vasili Beach named after the nearby town.

Many ancient legends are associated with this land. And even without going into their details, it is not difficult to understand why they are folded. Sophisticated, quaint relief masks from the inexperienced look many excellent sites on the shore. Pebbled “Vasili” are located about 1500 m to the west of Balaklava bay.

290 m of pebbles and golden sand bounded by azure sea waters and impassable rocks look brilliant. The left side of the coastal strip is smoother and not so steep. To the right is a group of large boulders. For an experienced look, it is immediately obvious: once there was a fierce struggle of various geological processes, which formed such an unusual landscape. Most vacationers do not think about it and just appreciate the opportunity to enjoy untouched nature.

However, on the beach "Vasili" there are manifestations of modern civilization. Climbing the stairs, which includes 180 steps, tourists can eat ice cream or order cold drinks in the cafe. The beach area itself is equipped as it should. There are cabins for changing clothes, and toilet houses, and awnings. Rental equipment for travelers is rented, as well as permanent duty of rescuers.

Shore mixed type (that is, formed by a combination of sand and medium-sized pebbles). It is not recommended to be placed near rocks. This is both inconvenient (pebbles far from the surf are larger) and dangerous (there is a risk of landslides). On the "Vasili" usually get by sea taxi. On rented boats you can walk there in 10 or 15 minutes.

If tourists decide to rest in the village of Beregovoi, then they should definitely get acquainted. with the Golden Beach. This stretch of coast is located parallel to the Kerch highway between Malysheva street and Solnechny lane. On the beach there is a large number of shells that are worn down to the state of small crumbs. Because the softness of the sand is guaranteed, and there is no special need to use the lounges.

The bottom contains separate stones, however, it is convenient to descend into the water. Even not very prepared swimmers will easily enter the sea. The word "Golden" is appropriate for another reason - this piece of the coast is just huge. In addition to the large width, it helps out its length (approximately 5 km). There are many hotels located nearby, while the municipal status of the beach allows you not to pay for its visit.

Shuttle taxis traveling from afar are often overloaded at the peak of the season. And directly at the bus stop many people have to cross the carriageway of the intercity highway. The movement in this place is not regulated at all, so you need to be extremely vigilant. Important: Immediately after the storm, the appearance of the Golden Beach is spoiled by algae sediments. But if it doesn’t matter, you can come any day - the algae are absolutely safe.

Despite all the particular problems, this site is considered the best on the peninsula. Well, the beach near the village of Azure is ideal for those who go to Alushta. The climate of those places is as close as possible to the Mediterranean, so the duration of the swimming season is very long. With luck, you can count on comfortable swims in the sea until mid-October.

Part of the coast is equipped and maintained clean. Where, in the late 1980s, the construction of a large pension began, they managed to clean up the area before it stopped, sprinkling them with pebbles. Built and breakwaters. But the problem is that security guards tourists only for money to the equipped space. Other parts of the coast look wildly emphasized.There is a mass of stones, rocks have fallen in many places.

But the coast is not overflowing with vacationers and there are no annoying children with their constant games and screams. The air is quite clear, and nature in its original form looks really beautiful. Those who stayed in the Alushta hotel "Santa Barbara" will be available branded hotel beach. To get to the village cliff, where it is located, you can on regular buses.

An attractive feature of the place is the general view of the coast. Preferring the extreme south of the peninsula (Foros), like for sure Pink beach. It received its name, like many others, because of the surface color. Pieces of rubble turned by sea waves turned into pebbles shining in the sun. Fans of deep dives eagerly go here. Throughout the official swimming season rent umbrellas and sun beds.

Nudist "Sunny Paradise" in Evpatoria fully justifies its name. The shore in this place was fenced, supplied with a written notice of the rules. The administration has prepared a full set of benefits of civilization. For your information: no one objects to the "standard" bathing. Those who wish to combine a beach holiday with enjoying the natural setting it makes sense to go to the Opuksky shore of Lake Koyashsky.

Regular bus flights are not organized there. But you can get there by car. With a width of 30 m, the beach stretches for 2 km, covers its shell sand. The area is clean, most go there with tents. Important: tourists should be careful when entering the sea and not letting go of children unattended.

More should be mentioned on such beaches as:

• Central (in Nikolaevka);
• "Crab" (in the Storm);
• "Super Aqua" near Evpatoria.

Summing up, you can point out such features of a beach holiday in different parts of the peninsula. Lovers of leisurely leisure in well-appointed places definitely worth going south. But they do not recommend going there to those who want to relax or simply do not like to lie on pebbles instead of sand. The western part is covered with sand, however, the landscapes in the steppe are plainly dull. In the east, the conditions are most diverse, you just have to choose places where there are beautiful mountains (and this is not always the case).

The northern segment of the Crimea is quiet and calm. The swimming season lasts there for a long time, and it’s not worth worrying about bathing children. The problem is that the infrastructure is almost absent. If you can not carry everything you need, including water, with you - the north will not work. And one more tip - it is necessary to get acquainted with the reviews about specific places, then there will be fewer problems.
