Overview of the best beaches of Crimea

The Crimean peninsula is truly a treasury of attractive and well-equipped resorts. Anyone who comes here on vacation can find for themselves the most attractive place with a clean beach and water.

One of the best beaches on the Crimean peninsula is a place with a unique and unforgettable name "Royal". You can find this unique place in the village of Novyi Svet, which stands out among other settlements with a unique nature. It allows you to tune in a romantic mood - everything around is filled with an inexplicable mystery.

The steep cliffs located here, groves of juniper and pine trees, deep ravines with their unique microclimate, mysterious paths laid through the forest, descending, winding to the sea, cannot help but take your breath away.

Near the mountain called Echkidag is another, no less remarkable for tourists bay, which locals call Fox. Its peculiarity is that it collects nudists on the territory of its beaches. The place is perfectly hidden from prying eyes, and from the coastline there is a view of the picturesque Karadag reserve.

Turning again to the best beaches of Crimea, one cannot but pay attention to a unique beach that Miskhor boasts. It is here that numerous tourists can get acquainted with the statue of a sad mermaid, who froze in the water. A talented sculptor worked on the sculpture, so she, even after decades, looks attractive. It is best to go on vacation here from May to November.The warm climate and developed infrastructure will surely please.

Another auspicious place where nature is famous for its unique beauty is Simeiz, which means “blue stones”. People come here from all over the world to enjoy comfort and enjoy the tranquility and swimming in the water. The sea, which this place is famous for, has amazing purity and transparency, the beauty of landscapes fascinates, it has more than once inspired local artists, awakening their imagination.

A person who has been here at least once will not be able to forget the local beaches, the peaks of massive mountains, and exotic nature. The easiest way to get to the place is by minibus, which regularly leaves from Yalta.

You can enjoy nature and on the beaches near the village of Popovka. There is a very clear sea, which is located remotely from large populated settlements, while there are no questions about infrastructure, and it is extremely necessary for tourists who prefer a quality and comfortable stay.

What distinguishes the local air is its freshness and unusual aroma. It seems to be filled with sea salt and steppe herbs. In addition, there is always a clean sea, there are many well-organized beaches, the coast of which is covered with soft white sand. The village owes its unique nature to the location. Popovka stands between two salt lakes: Oybur and Donuzlav.

It is impossible to dispute the fact that this is one of the most attractive places on the peninsula, which is associated primarily with the unique coastline. White fine sand creates a unique landscape. It contrasts well with the clear azure water of the sea.

Here you can meet many tourists with young children, and it is not surprising, since the village and its environs offer all the best for little tourists: the bottom is shallow, the water is never dirty, there are no sharp crossings into the sea and pits.

There are practically no ebbs and flows, and the water temperature is maintained at a temperature of 20 ° C in season with a plus sign. Precisely because shallow water prevails here, water warms up faster than in other areas. The swimming season lasts until mid-autumn.

The coast of Crimea is washed not only by the Black Sea, but also by the Sea of ​​Azov, therefore, in search of clean water, you should immediately determine which is best to go to. After 2014, the tourist flow to the Black Sea resorts of Crimea was significantly reduced, so it will not work to see the crowded beaches, where you had to come early in the morning to take a seat.

On the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, even with all this taken into account, there are always several times fewer people, but here the coastlines suitable for swimming are very long, stretching for tens of kilometers. What is only one sandy Arabat spit.

It is necessary to mention that the entire coastline of the Sea of ​​Azov and the territory under water are covered with amazing sand of a special yellow hue, which is mixed with pieces of shells fragmented by time. The area is characterized by attractive shallow water, where fish, crabs and other animals often sail.

In some areas, in order for the water to reach the chest, you have to walk a hundred meters into the sea. The waves are mostly small.

Despite the fact that there are no large settlements and tourist clusters around the sea, experienced travelers say that the Sea of ​​Azov is dirty, if we talk about the transparency of the water in it. To a large extent, this is true: the water here is usually muddy and not so clear.It is worth saying that turbidity is basically natural dirt, that is, a mixture of sand and clay present here, which rises up with the waves. This feature is characteristic of all sandy beaches, on which a few clay areas are observed under water.

The Black Sea differs from the Sea of ​​Azov in that small pebbles prevail in it, therefore there are no glue particles in the water. That's why the water here is distinguished by good visibility, but if we talk about cleanliness, and not about transparency, then there are no industrial enterprises around the Sea of ​​Azov on the Crimean coast, and accordingly, there are no emissions to the water. There are also no large settlements, whose wastewater often also merges into the sea.

The entire southern coast of the Black Sea in Crimea is not sand, but pebbles, which in some places had to be imported artificially. Over time, the stones were hewn under the influence of water and ceased to be sharp, but still in such areas it is very inconvenient to sunbathe on a towel.

Sand can be seen only on the west coast, namely in such settlements as Saki, Mirny, Olenevka, or on the east: in Primorye and Kerch. The sand here is not white, but in some places yellow, in others gray.

Depth from place to place is very different, so not all beaches are suitable for swimming young children.

If you want to relax in a beautiful place with clean water, but on the south coast, it is unlikely that such a place can be found, because along the coast there are old crumbling concrete embankments. It is difficult not to notice the protruding pieces of rusty pipes and fittings. Almost the entire territory here is divided by concrete breakwaters.

It is worth saying that the waves in this area can be really very large, it is they that bring into the sea and ashore, especially after storms, algae and other dirt, sometimes swimming in the water is simply impossible due to the accumulation of jellyfish. Although they are harmless to humans, they are very unpleasant to the touch.

Among the many areas organized for a quality holiday with children, the best on the peninsula is the coastline of Kerch. The local beach has undergone many changes over the past few years, the administration decided to conduct a complete reconstruction and improve its infrastructure.

Today, one of the features is the cleanliness and the presence of two areas for beach volleyball. In addition, cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. Here you can have a snack, enjoy cold drinks. Numerous rental centers offer to rent an umbrella or deck chair, thereby increasing the level of comfort of your own holiday on the beach.

This is not the only place where you can go with your child on vacation and not worry how everything goes. A wide coastline stretches from the Primorsky village to Feodosia. Several kilometers of high-quality sand are called the Golden Beach.

It is not surprising that such a name was chosen for the described place, since the sand here really resembles gold in color. It is a real pleasure to relax here with your child, because you can run barefoot, create figures or just lie and enjoy the sun.

If we talk about the depth and quality of the seabed, then there are no complaints. It is rather shallow here and even after a storm the depth does not increase. The local administration offers quality service, well-developed infrastructure. Minibuses approach the beach, so from here you can leave for any nearby village, rather than go on foot.

If we talk about the amazing places that our planet offers us, then the Crimean peninsula is one of them. On its territory there are many attractive areas for swimming, but in order not to be disappointed, it is worth paying attention to the rating of the best places with a detailed description.

Of the distinguishing features - here you can see plants that are found infrequently in the world.They greatly change the local topography, as the rocks crack under the influence of the roots and crumble. That is why this unique place is not accessible to tourists from time to time. A boat or boat, as well as a trail through the rocks - the main means of how to get here.
