Cold currents, so characteristic of the Crimean coast of the Black Sea, soften in the bay, on the shore of which Nikolaevka is located.

beaches

The main thing that attracts vacationers to Nikolaevka is the Black Sea coast of Crimea, so the beaches deserve special attention. They are all similar to each other - they consist of small pebbles, but in some places there are sandy areas. Interestingly, after the tides, the content of sand and pebbles often changes dramatically - where there was one pebble, you can find a sandy shore, and vice versa. The sea near the coast is shallow, the entry into the water is gentle. There are jellyfish in the water.

A characteristic feature of all the beaches in the area of ​​the village is that they can only be reached by going down one of the stairs.

The total length of the Nikolaev beaches is 8 km. They start from the boathouse village "Anchor" and end at the border with the village of Beregovoe. In the area of ​​these settlements, the coastal strip is located under a high cliff. Sunbathing on such wild beaches, due to possible landslides, you need to be careful.
