Good beaches: where?

When choosing a place to stay, we, of course, want to have a good beach there. Natural beaches are those that are not artificially created. A natural beach is the history of the Earth, of all the processes taking place on it. The natural beach is a good place for rest and relaxation.

Natural beaches are flat and steep. It is the sandy beaches that are located on the flat terrain, where the coastline has been formed for many, many years.

Steep, rocky beaches are mainly located in seismically unstable places and have the property of constant movement.

Sandy beaches are mostly wide and long. The entry into the sea on such beaches is gentle and long. Since the depth of the sea near the coast is small, the water here is especially warm. Rocky beaches usually have a narrow coastline and steeper entry into the water.

On the sandy beach, water has been sharpening stones for millions of years, turning them into sand, which means that the coastline here is ancient, with its own long history.

The youngest beaches are those where the coastline is made up of boulders. Water in these places worked for about a couple of million years.

A little older than these beaches, the beaches are pebbly.

Benefits of a sandy beach

Among tourists, sandy beaches are in the greatest demand. On these beaches it is more convenient and safer to relax with children. The sand on the beaches is different: white, pink, yellow, red and even black. The color of the sand depends on the composition of the stones, which are carefully ground by water.

Any sand is basically quartz. Pure quartz without impurities, this is white sandy beach. Since ancient times, it has been believed that quartz helps to prolong youth, strengthen the spirit and nervous system person. Yogis meditate on the sand and believe that quartz helps them make the right decisions.

Science says that a person receives microdoses for the body of various minerals and microelements that make up the sand on a sandy beach. The chemical composition of quartz includes: silicon with micro-inclusions, magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, copper, lithium. Rest on such beaches heals the nervous and hormonal systems, prevents the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system and the digestive system.

The whitest beach: white sand

Beaches with quartz white sands are almost everywhere. by the most beautiful place Himes Beach, located in Australia, is considered to be absolutely white sand. The sand on the beach is like whipped cream. Due to the reflective property white sand, here you can take great photos even at dusk.

From Sochi to Anapa Krasnodar region- one solid of sand, shell rock and pebbles, slightly torn by the Caucasian hills. And this is only the Black Sea coast.

Here the best sandy beaches are located in settlements and places:

• Dzhemete;
• Vityazevo;
• Blagoveshchenskaya;
• Veselovka;
• Bugaz Spit;
• Gelendzhik;
• Lermontovo;
• Imeretinskaya Bay of Greater Sochi.

There are fewer resorts on the Sea of ​​Azov:

• Yeysk;
• Dolzhanskaya;
• Taman Peninsula.

In addition to these places, on the Azov coast there are many small villages and villages with wonderful beaches. Despite the fact that this sea is less popular among vacationers, local resorts have their own advantages:

1. The sea is shallower, the water warms up better.
2. Bathing season, unlike southern shores edge, begins in May.
3. The vast majority of the coast area is gently sloping sandy beaches or small shell rock.
4. The water is less salty than in the Black Sea.

Attention! There is a negative attitude towards Sea of ​​Azov due to the fact that during the excitement the water becomes cloudy. This effect is achieved not for environmental reasons, but due to the fact that the two main "donors" of Azov - Don and Kuban carry particles of silt into the sea. On the contrary, silt mud endows water with useful properties.

Northern Black Sea Coast of Krasnodar Territory: the best beaches

The city of Anapa, according to many vacationers, is perhaps the best option among the sandy Black Sea coast: the sea is the shallowest, prices are not yet Sochi, and some beaches will surprise you with the purity of water and sand. The palm of leadership in the cleanliness category is held here by " Central Beach". The city has many offers for related leisure: cafes, attractions and night life- everything is organized at a high level.

If you don’t like the bustle, try resting in the neighboring villages of Vityazevo and Dzhemete, adjacent to Anapa. The latter is famous for its golden sand and gently sloping coast. clean sea. Here you will find holidays at an affordable price, even near the coast. In Vityazevo you will be surprised by a huge beach with sand dunes. These resorts are not so crowded. at least find comfortable spot for sunbathing on the sand you can always.

If you want even more privacy - move north. In the area of ​​​​Blagoveshchenskaya, Veselovka and Bugaz Spit full wild beaches with beautiful nature. In fact, this area consists of solid sand. These places are loved by divers for the transparency of the water.

Southern Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory: sand worth its weight in gold

To the south of Anapa, it is difficult to meet a sandy shore. There is sand here only in rare bays and estuaries. One of these places is Gelendzhik. 10-15 years ago, they actively engaged in the creation of artificial sandy beaches. Directly in the city is the most popular beach "Thin Cape", which works in tandem with the boarding house of the same name. The coast is equipped with a breakwater that allows you to swim even in a storm. The Krasnaya Talka beach is also popular. It is furnished to a high standard. Outside the city there is a beach "Kamyshi", which is less crowded, but also maintained in order.

Relief features made it possible to appear in the small village of Lermontovo a sandy section of the coast. People did not fail to take advantage of this feature: a relatively small area is kept clean. There are pebbles on it: directly at the entrance to the water. The coast is smooth, the water is warm in the south.

Imeretinskaya Bay is located near Adler and practically at the state border. In 2014, Olympians were located nearby. Despite this, vacationers call the beaches not quite adapted: there are large pebbles and snags on the shore, the entrance to the water is steep. Imeretian beaches are considered as an option to diversify the rest in Adler or Sochi. By the way, there are services that are not quite familiar to Russian tourists. For example, bike rental.

Azov coast: children's rest on the sand

Azov coast - great option for families with children. The vast majority of resorts here are located on Taman Peninsula where the sand is all over the place.

The beach and the seabed are pleasant to the touch. Local views are amazing and unique. Taman, Tuzla Spit, the villages of Ilyich, For the Motherland, Kuchugury, Temryuk and others are distinguished by low population. The vast majority of the beaches here are without amenities, however, they are clean. But you will find accommodation and entertainment. Golubitskaya and Peresyp are more prepared to receive tourists: the level of leisure is higher here, and the beaches are ennobled and equipped with amenities.

Yeysk is a direct competitor of Taganrog Rostov region popular in the region. It is a tourist oriented and seasoned city. The shore is the Yeysk Spit deeply protruding into the sea, not far into the sea there are several uninhabited islands. A branch runs along the shore railway, which narrowed the beach strip in these areas to several meters. The sea is very shallow.

The village of Dolzhanskaya is located near the Dolgaya Spit. The spit is a protected area, so the nature here is amazing. The sandy beach has a length of 20 km. There are many sanatoriums and children's camps. The spit divides the sea into two parts that often behave in opposite ways. On the one hand, the wind drives the waves, and on the other, silence and grace. Therefore, sandy Dolzhanskaya is also liked by lovers a relaxing holiday, and fans of water extreme sports.

Advice. When choosing the Krasnodar Territory for recreation, remember that the resort remains a resort. Big cities more often they are industrial and port, so they will not always be able to meet your expectations in terms of cleanliness. And small villages are less equipped for leisure and are inferior in terms of comfort.

The infrastructure in this part of the country is poorly developed, transport is rare, so active people should not choose Patara. But here are some of the most "sparing" prices. And the best in all of Turkey, white sand.
