Overview of the beaches of Gaspra in Crimea

Tourists who choose Crimea for a summer vacation can combine business with pleasure, heading to the village of Gaspra. Proximity to the main attractions, the cleanest and warmest sea, beaches with useful shale sand, air enriched with oxygen - all this attracts many vacationers.

The familiar promenade in Gaspra is absent for everyone due to the fact that the settlement is located on the mountain slopes. And the territory along the sea is divided by hotels and resorts that organized beaches and recreation areas on it.

Nevertheless, the promenade in Gaspra is a concrete structure, different in height due to coastal irregularities. Throughout the promenade, you can find many breakwaters that provide the beaches of Gaspra with crystal clear sea water.

Comparing the public beaches of Gaspra with neighboring cities, one can note their greater comfort and convenience:

• smooth shale sand (sometimes mixed with pebbles and small stones);
• gentle descent into the sea (which is important when resting with young children);
• purity.

On the territory of many beaches, access is limited or possible for a fee. But for the "savages" there are free recreation areas. So, a municipal beach is organized, the entrance to which is open to everyone.

The territory of the municipal beach is located on a 400-meter stretch of sand and pebble and a gentle, even descent into the sea.Equipped with awnings and urns. You will have to pay for everything else: a deck chair, an umbrella (if there was not enough space under the canopy), a toilet, a first-aid post. There are no shops and food outlets here, but you can often find traders of soft drinks, fresh fruits, nuts and other foods.

The disadvantages of the municipal beach are:

• overcrowding in high season and lack of space;
• cleaning is carried out once every few days, which affects its cleanliness.

For lovers of secluded relaxation in Gaspra there is a place called "Passes". Located on the section between the Swallow’s Nest and the Sail rock, it is a rocky coast with large stones and fragments of plates.

As mentioned earlier, the entire coastal territory is divided between hotels and resorts. Free access and use of all equipment is allowed only to customers. However, it is possible to get to private beaches on various conditions.

It has sand and pebble flooring and a flat gentle entrance to the sea. Particularly attractive is the view of the local landmark Swallow's Nest.

The beach of the sanatorium is equipped with canopies for vacationers, a first-aid post, a toilet, changing cabins and showers. Here you can also have a bite to eat in a small cafe and buy souvenirs in souvenir shops. You can use the services of travel agencies and massage therapists. The territory is divided into 2 parts, the entrance to one of which (General's beach) is prohibited for outsiders.

The length of the territory is 140 m with pebble coating. There are sun loungers, beach towels, changing cabins, toilets, showers, catering facilities. For children there is a separate play area with an outdoor pool, where you can use the services of animators.

Bored tourists are offered a rental of water equipment and attractions, the opportunity to play tennis or billiards under a canopy.

To get here, you can walk along the coastline, go down the paths or take the elevator (for a small fee). But also sun loungers, umbrellas and towels, animation services in the children's park will be paid.

A small area of ​​the coastal zone with a sand and pebble coating and an even gentle slope into the sea, equipped with wooden canopies, is not much different from the many coastal areas of Gaspra. There are also sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, a first-aid post, showers and changing cabins. Vacationers can rent a car. On this territory you can have a snack and soft drinks in a small cafe.

The only distinguishing feature of the beach is that You need to get to it by cable car, going from the sanatorium to the sea. Another important point is cable car operating hours (daily lunch break and closing before dusk).

The beach area of ​​the sanatorium has a medium pebble coating with a comfortable entry into the sea. On the territory there are a toilet, locker rooms, showers, sun loungers under awnings, a sun terrace, fitness room, tennis table and billiards. There is also a swimming pool for vacationers.For those who want to eat, there are 2 cafes with a decent menu.

Small pebble cover, gentle and even entrance to the sea and mountainous surroundings (provides protection from the weather) gives the status of favorite beaches among vacationers.

The territory of the coastal recreation area is divided into 2 parts, one of which can be occupied by guests of junior suites and suites from the sanatoriums "Marat" and "Park Chair", for the rest, entry is prohibited. In the remaining territory, everyone else can rest.

The beach is equipped with sunbeds, a toilet, a first-aid post, dressing rooms and showers. You can also ride a jet ski, a catamaran and a banana, and book an excursion. For hungry there is a small cafe.

To get here, you need to make the way down the winding steps, or using the cable car. On the way to the beach there are many stalls with a variety of souvenirs and necessary goods.

The territory of the coastal zone is covered with small and medium pebbles, the entrance to the sea is sand and gravel, flat and gentle.

One of the most democratic in relation to strangers. Therefore, at the height of the season, it is very crowded. But, despite the influx of vacationers, it is considered one of the most well-groomed and clean beaches.

The territory presents all the infrastructure necessary for a comfortable stay. There is a cafe where you can try local alcoholic drinks (cognac, wine and champagne), delicious ice cream, seafood dishes and herbal tea prepared according to the original recipe.

For outsiders who want to relax here, admission is free. Only the fee for using the elevator is charged and if there are not enough free places on the sunbeds for the delivery of an additional place (since not everyone will like the rest on pebbles).

There are many similar beaches belonging to various resorts. And all of them are more or less considered paid. Entrance, travel or use of inventory on their territory is charged.

According to numerous reviews of vacationers, the settlement is very lacking city beaches for the population with decent conditions for a comfortable stay. As well as the remoteness of the coastal zone and the need for daily descent along paths and stairs leaves negative memories of a vacation in the village of Gaspra.
