Sandy beaches of the Black Sea in Russia
Where are sandy beaches in Russia? First of all, this is the Black Sea coast of Crimea and Krasnodar Territory. Russian resorts with sandy beaches include Kerch, Feodosia, Sudak, Sevastopol and Evpatoria in the Crimea, as well as the Bolshaya Anapa region in the Krasnodar Territory: Anapa, Vityazevo, Dzhemete.
Feodosia
Feodosia Golden Beach is considered one of the best on the coast. It is a 10-kilometer stretch of bright yellow sand and a touch of small seashells, well equipped and clean. On the beach there are special playgrounds for children, a few cafes and an entertainment area.
In the Coastal beach, the beach is wide, in Primorskoye, it is a few meters away, and the busy Kerch-Sevastopol highway runs alongside the beach. Among the shortcomings, tourists named the remoteness of the beach from the city, the average level of infrastructure development and the presence of boulders near the coast, designed to trap algae. There are mosquitoes.
How to get there? From Feodosia to the beach can be reached by bus or taxi. Transport leaves every 10-20 minutes.
Evpatoria
Evpatoria is a popular children's resort with a clean, shallow sea and partially landscaped beaches. Some of the best sandy beaches of the Black Sea in Russia are Oasis, Solaris and the beach of the Robinson sanatorium. There are changing cabins, toilets and showers, volleyball nets and playgrounds everywhere.
The main disadvantage of all Evpatoria beaches is that they are too crowded. Therefore, it is easier for those who want solitude to go to any suburb - Mirny, Popovka, Shtormovoye or Zaozernoye.
