The southernmost resort of the Tuapse region is considered a good place for children and families, but Shepsi also has disadvantages. Learn about the pros and cons of Shepsy in 2021 from tourist reviews!
Resort impressions
The village is located 12 km southeast of Tuapse, in the zone where the Russian subtropics begin. In this part of the Black Sea coast, deciduous forests give way to evergreens, the streets of resorts are decorated with palm trees, and the Caucasus Mountains are getting higher and higher.
According to reviews for 2020 and 2021, Shepsi is a wonderful place for a relaxing vacation by the sea. Tourists like the mild climate, beautiful nature, clear sea, pebble beach and measured rhythm of life. The neglected park, the unclean water in the Shepsi River and the loaded highway, which divides the village in half, upset us.
Evgeniy: "I recommend to everyone who loves a quiet family vacation. Shops are nearby, a railway station, electric trains run almost every hour. The only negative is that there is little entertainment."
Is it expensive to rest
The main advantage of Shepsi, according to tourists, is the normal housing prices. In the summer of 2021, a double room with a private bathroom in a guest house or mini-hotel costs 1500-2000 rubles per day. For this money, you can easily find a convenient option close to the sea. Look for accommodation on Hotelluk and Daily.
Vacationers complain about the high cost of food, but this is not only Shepsi's problem. In the high season, prices rise at all resorts in the Krasnodar Territory. Of the chain stores in Shepsi, only "Magnet" and "Agrocomplex" are located, but they are located in the center of the village, 1.5 km from the beaches. It is inconvenient to go there in the heat, so vacationers buy food in small shops, where everything is much more expensive.
Oswin: “The prices shocked me: milk from 65 rubles (in film), while in Krasnodar I take it on average at 44 rubles, tomatoes are the cheapest 60 rubles, mostly 80 rubles, watermelons at 17 rubles. there were already 10 rubles each. "

What sea and beaches
There is a pebbly coast in the Shepsi area. A long and narrow village beach stretches along the railway line. Shepsi has an open sea, and because of this, the water is rarely muddy.
In addition to the central beach, tourists rest on the beaches that belong to different boarding houses. If you walk in the direction of Tuapse, you will find many nice places for secluded relaxation.

Lelka1305: "The beach is pebbly, not really well-maintained. There seems to be a toilet, paid. There is not much entertainment - a couple of inflatable slides for children, several cafes with music and dancing in the evenings. The water is clean, but if it is stormy, there is a lot of mud."

For other entertainments you have to go to Tuapse, Lazarevskoye and Sochi. Not everyone likes the trip to Sochi, because going back by rail is inconvenient.
Nina: "We do not recommend going to Sochi. No matter how interesting it is, getting out of there in the evening by train is problematic. Only the last one, the so-called" worker, "stops in Shepsi, there are a lot of people in it."
Vacation with children
A more comfortable beach for families with children is closer to the mouth of the Shepsi River. There are smaller pebbles, and the entrance to the water is shallow.
Go with the whole family to the "Compound of Masters" on Sadovaya Street, 34. In private households, young and adult tourists are taught to weave from the vine and make beautiful handicrafts with their own hands.
With older children, we advise you to walk up the picturesque Shepsi Valley. From the village, hiking trails are laid to the dolmens, to the Bolshoye Pseushkho mountain and to the cave on the Shtabnaya summit.
Karina: "The beach is large and clean, the water is magical, clear as crystal. We were in Shepsi for the first time and were very pleased with my daughter."
When is the best time to go
The beach season at the resort starts in May and ends at the end of October. In summer, the water in the Black Sea warms up to +26 ... + 27 ° С. Most of the holidaymakers come in July and August. During these months, the thermometer rises to + 30 ° C and above during the day. Not everyone loves this heat! According to tourists, the best vacation in Shepsi with small children is in June and September, when it is not so hot and it is easier to breathe.
Oksana: "This year I was vacationing in Shepsi. In September I fell into a fairy tale! Silence, peace, sea air, great weather ... I got all this in full."
Is it worth going to Shepsi
For those who like parties, attractions and active nightlife, the resort will seem boring. Shepsi is a place for lovers of silence, calm beach rest, trekking and contemplation of nature. In the village you can sunbathe, swim in the sea and rent budget accommodation.
When choosing a hotel and guest house, keep in mind that the resort will stretch along the river valley. From the northeastern part of Shepsi to the sea to go far. It is inconvenient to live near the highway, because cars drive along it day and night.
