Wild beaches without people in the Crimea, of course, still exist, but getting to them is difficult, and the rest will be even more unsettled than on the banks of the free beach in a resort town.

Rest in Crimea has both pros and cons. But for those tourists who travel only to sunbathe on the sandy shore, pastime can bring a lot of vivid impressions.

For example, many tourists speak of the beaches of Feodosia as not the cleanest. Near the beach port. If you move from the town just to the south, you can find good sandy beaches, accessible for recreation for everyone.

With careful selection of the beach is worth considering a few nuances, for example, the size of the possible waves. They are important at the seaside for surfers. Uniform sandy beaches are ideal for this sport.

Any seashore is characterized by natural ebb and flow. This is an important factor, since the coast will look neater during the outflow of water. This statement can be attributed to the places for which care.

The depth of the seabed is an important factor for many tourists. Someone has enough water to the waist, and someone needs a lot of depth. The beaches of the Azov are shallow, and the shores of the Black Sea can be steep.

Another important criterion for rest - environment. Some beaches of the Crimea look very well-groomed, they can even boast of modern landscape design. Other shores attract tourists with their virginity and unspoiled nature. Such places are distinguished by uncrowded people, the possibility of living in tents.

Season starts on the southern shores – at the beginning of summer, but compared to other parts of the peninsula, the duration of the season is longer – until October. In the south-eastern part of the coast the duration is less - until September.

In the eastern part of the Crimea, the sea is quite shallow, so the water temperature warms faster, respectively, the season starts earlier. By early May, the water temperature rises to +18 degrees. Until August, the water is consistently warm - up to +25 degrees.

In the west of the Crimea, the swimming season opens very early. With the establishment of warm weather, daredevils dive into the sea in early May. Karkinitsky Bay warms up very quickly. The latest opening of the swimming season is observed in Saki: those who swim here are observed only in the beginning of June.

Equally important for tourists is the size of the coast. There are lovers of seclusion in small comfortable coves, there are those who wish to do beach volleyball or football on a wide spacious beach. Many beaches are equipped with additional verandas and terraces.

When choosing a seacoast, it is important to consider the presence of living organisms that may cause harm in the water or on land. You can protect yourself and your family from poisonous jellyfish, stingrays and snakes, if you specify the information about them in advance from travel agencies or local residents.

An important point when choosing a beach may be additional services. Will there be enough sun loungers, do you need walks on a boat, catamaran, scooter? "Bananas", boats, diving - all this entertainment is also offered on the Crimean beaches, but often for a fee.
