Overview of the beaches of Gaspra in Crimea

Tourists who choose Crimea for their summer holidays can combine business with pleasure by going to Gaspra village. The proximity to the main attractions, clean and warm sea, beaches with useful shale sand, air enriched with oxygen - all this attracts many tourists.

Everyone is familiar to the promenade in Gaspra is missing due to the fact that the settlement is located on the mountain slopes. And the territory along the sea is divided by hotels and sanatoriums, which have organized beaches and recreation areas on it.

Nevertheless, the embankment in Gaspra is a concrete structure, different in height due to coastal irregularities. Throughout the embankment you can find a lot of breakwaters that provide the beaches of Gaspra with crystal clear sea water.

Comparing the public beaches of Gaspra with the neighboring cities, we can note their greater comfort and well-being:

• even coating of shale sand (sometimes with an admixture of pebbles and small stones);
• gentle descent into the sea (which is important when resting with small children);
• purity.

On the territory of many beaches passage is limited or possible for a fee. But for the "savages" there are free recreation areas. So, organized by the municipal beach, the entrance to which is open to all.

The territory of the municipal beach is located on a 400-meter stretch of sand and pebble and a gentle, even descent into the sea. Equipped with sheds and urns. You will have to pay for everything else: a chaise lounge, an umbrella (if there is not enough space under the shed), a toilet, a medical center. Shops and food outlets are not here, but you can often find merchants of soft drinks, fresh fruits, nuts and other food.

The disadvantages of the municipal beach are:

• overcrowding in high season and lack of space;
• cleaning takes place every few days, which affects its cleanliness.

For lovers of secluded holidays in Gaspra there is a place called "Passes". Located on the segment between the "Swallow's Nest" and the rock "Sail" and is a rocky coast with large stones and fragments of slabs.

As mentioned earlier, the entire coastal area is divided between hotels and sanatoriums. Free entry and use of all inventory is allowed only to customers. However, it is possible to get to private beaches under various conditions.

It has a sand and pebble coating and a flat gently sloping entrance to the sea. Especially attractive is the view of the local landmark "Swallow's Nest."

The beach of the sanatorium is equipped with awnings for vacationers, a first-aid post, a toilet, changing rooms and showers. And here you can eat in a small cafe and buy souvenirs in souvenir shops. You can use the services of a travel agency and a masseur. The territory is divided into 2 parts, the entrance to one of which (General's Beach) is forbidden for strangers.

The length of the territory is 140 m with a pebble coating. There are sun beds, beach towels, changing cabins, toilets, showers, catering points. Children have a separate play area with an outdoor pool, where you can use the services of animators.

Bored tourists here are offered water rental equipment and rides, the opportunity to play tennis or billiards under a canopy.

To get here, you can walk along the coastline, go down the paths or use the elevator (for a small fee). But also sun loungers, umbrellas and towels, animation services in the children's park will be paid.

A small area of ​​the coastal zone with a sand and pebble coating and a flat gentle slope into the sea, equipped with wooden canopies, is not much different from the many coastal zones of Gaspra. There are also sun beds, umbrellas, toilets, a first-aid post, showers and dressing cabins. Vacationers can use the rental. In this area you can eat and drink soft drinks in a small cafe.

The only distinguishing feature of the beach is that to get to it is necessary by cable car, going from the sanatorium to the sea. Another important point is cable car opening hours (daily lunch break and closing until dusk).

The beach area of ​​the sanatorium has a mid-surface coating with a comfortable entry into the sea. On the territory there are a toilet, changing rooms, showers, deck chairs under awnings, a sun terrace, a fitness room, a table for tennis and a pool table. And also equipped with a swimming pool for guests. For those who want to eat a choice, there are 2 cafes with a decent menu.

The small-pebbled surface, a gentle and even entrance to the sea and the mountainous environment (provides protection from the weather) gives the status of favorite beaches among holidaymakers.

The territory of the coastal recreation area is divided into 2 parts, one of which can be occupied by guests of junior suites and suites from the resorts "Marat" and "Park Chair", for the rest of the entrance is prohibited. On the remaining territory, all the rest can rest.

The beach is equipped with sun loungers, toilet, first-aid post, changing rooms and showers. And also you can ride a jet ski, catamaran and "banana", book a tour. For the hungry there is a small cafe.

To get here, you need to make a way down the winding stairs, or using the cable car. On the way to the beach there are many stalls with a variety of souvenirs and necessary goods.

The territory of the coastal zone is covered with small and medium pebbles, the entrance to the sea is sandy-pebble, smooth and gently sloping.

One of the most democratic in relation to outsiders. Therefore, in the high season it is very crowded here. But, despite the influx of tourists, it is considered one of the most well-groomed and clean beaches.

The territory has all the infrastructure necessary for comfortable rest.There is a cafe where you can taste local alcoholic beverages (brandy, wine and champagne), delicious ice cream, seafood and cooked according to the original herbal tea recipe.

For outsiders who want to relax here, admission is free. Only a fee for using the elevator is charged and if there are not enough free places on the loungers for the delivery of additional space (as not everyone will like the rest on pebbles).

There are a lot of similar beaches belonging to different sanatoriums. And all of them, to a greater or lesser extent, are considered to be paid. For entry, travel or use of inventory on their territory is charged.

According to numerous reviews of tourists, in the settlement there are very few urban beaches for the population with decent conditions for comfortable rest. As well as the remoteness of the coastal zone and the need for daily descent along the paths and stairs leaves negative memories of a vacation in the village of Gaspra.
