List of the best beaches of Sudak in Crimea

Summer is a great time that is quickly ending. And therefore, spending it on the search for suitable places to relax, hoping for luck, is hardly reasonable. When traveling to the Crimean city of Sudak, you need to know the maximum of nuances and subtleties about what tourists are waiting for.

No matter where travelers in Sudak go, no matter which beach they choose, they will see landscapes typical of Crimea. First of all, these are individual mountains and entire ranges. Their not too steep slopes are covered with vineyards. The fortress built in the Genoese period still looks majestic and menacing. Clouds overhead add a romantic mood.

Any of the Sudak beaches, including the best, are arranged in a chain. First, 2.5 km of curved coast (including Cape Alchak and Fortress Mountain), and then 7.5 km of partially or completely wild sites - this is what the beaches of Sudak are.

Coarse quartz sand lies on most of the coast.

There are also other areas:

• simple sand;
• pebbled;
• combined type.

In Sudak, you can easily get to any beach. The width of even the narrowest sections is 30 m. The city has many attractions and entertainment facilities. Tourists have access to many options for residential premises, a lot of restaurants. But if travelers are interested in exactly the best stretches of the coast, then you should pay attention to Krabi Island.

Finding it is easy - nearby is Fortress Mountain.

The island is reached by ford remaining after the partial destruction of sand embankments. You can also get there by swimming or on a catamaran. The beach of Krabi island is not too big, but there are excellent conditions for diving.

In clear water, you can easily see even the smallest stones, brisk crabs. Enjoying the warm sun surrounded by water while watching the walls of an ancient fortress - what could be more beautiful? No wonder photographers and selfie lovers often travel to Crab Island.

Deserves attention and Mojito beach. It is located exactly opposite the Crab Island. The territory is covered with umbrellas and sun loungers, there is a number of cafes on it, and many catamarans and kayaks move along the coast. The Mojito is 100% concrete, and even sand has been brought here from afar. This decision was the only option to prevent erosion of the coast.

The Mojito is very spacious and free. You will have to dive into the water from the stairs. This beach offers beautiful views of the mountains and the fortress.

In the water near the Mojito you can see the characteristic stains from gasoline. They are left by boats, which are immediately rented. For children, the beach is hardly suitable - after all, the descent to the water is very steep. And the abundance of large sharp stones at the bottom does not contribute to a comfortable rest.

Family lovers are advised to visit Arzy beach. Its name is associated with the nearest open cafe.

“Arzy” is clearly divided into 2 segments, and vacationers have the opportunity to move away from the cafe. Employees are vigilant to ensure that the area is clean. The beach is equipped with all necessary accessories: umbrellas and sun loungers.

For an additional fee you can take a boat trip.

There is also a tour desk nearby. Quartz sand is pleasant and comfortable, the entrance to the sea also differs in convenience, and it is also easy to get to the nearby promenade. In Sudak, this is not only a place for walking, but also a street with cafes and entertainment venues. The only problem is that the prices in the “Arzy” cafe are not justified either by the variety of assortment or the quality of food.

The largest territory in Sudak is occupied by the central beach. It stretched from the mooring complex to the Brigantine boarding house, which has its own coastal site.

The platform in the city center is ideally equipped and covered with sand to a width of about 30 m. A pebble fragment begins only at the very water. It is convenient to enter the water on the central beach, and the depth begins gradually. You will have to walk, have fun and eat on the concrete embankment located just above the fence. Judging by the estimates, this is very convenient. Walk to the bus stop for about 10 minutes.

Those who wish can always rent a catamaran or visit extreme attractions. The territory is equipped with:

• rescue posts on the towers;
• changing cabins;
• sanitary areas;
• available free awnings.

There is an even more popular (so-called Collective Farm) beach. Finding free space on it, even in the morning, is quite difficult. During storms, the water is always agitated. Continuously moving boats and boats cause problems. But the advantages of this site can be considered an abundance of entertainment, convenient location and proximity to the transport hub.

"Collective farm" is recommended to those who like partying, colorful and varied impressions. It is suitable for those who decide to rent a house closer to sea water. But the romantics and lovers of secluded relaxation, there is nothing special to do here. This site got its name in those ancient times, when cattle were brought to it for street trading. Now a guideline when searching for a beach can serve water park "Water World".

The “collective farm” section of the coast is covered with sand and shell rock. It is quite spacious, but has a number of disadvantages. The infrastructure is very weak. For relaxation you have to bring your own towels and umbrellas. If neither this nor the large filling of the coast is frightening, you can safely go here.

It’s much more pleasant, however, to visit Meganom Beach, occupying the cape of the same name. The distance between Sudak and the beach is 9 km. The bay where it is located is surrounded by cliffs and high hills.

The infrastructure at Meganom is well developed - there are:

• sun loungers;
• boat rental services;
• ATV ride;
• Cafe;
• small shops;
• canopies.

Nearby semi-wild camping is suitable for most people. "Meganom" is partially covered with sand, partially with pebbles. However, walking on it is better in sturdy shoes. Near the coast you can find many sharp shells and slippery stones. Getting to this beach is very difficult, and the landscape is not very interesting (there is almost no vegetation).

In some places it is difficult to enter the sea. In addition to sharp stones, algae also interfere. In remote areas you will have to take drinking water with you. But the territory is perfect for those who want to feel the unity with nature. Buses go to Meganom from 7.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. and they leave on a return trip by 20 p.m.

A striking example of such sites for beach activities is "Soldaya." This name she received in honor of the elite boarding house, which owns a section of the coast.

On convenient paths, visitors will easily pass to the canopies, and to the sea itself, and to the cafe. Food at Soldaye is very expensive and not everyone can afford it.

Some people therefore prefer to go to the beach boarding house "Brigantine". Its advantages: convenient accommodation near the promenade and well-developed infrastructure. The beach is not too large, however, a strip of sand suits most people.

Every morning, everyone can join a fitness workout. To freshen up after class go directly to the sea.

Air Force Sanatorium Beach not too comfortable. The shore is quite narrow, and a lot of space is occupied by structures holding canopies. But the territory is accessible to anyone, which is not so often found on land owned by sanatoriums.

Among the “aviation” beaches, silence and tranquility stand out "Healing", and arrangement and an abundance of entertainment - "Heat."

Beaches at the sanatoriums "Sudak" and "Horizon" very similar to each other. Since Soviet times, there are massive canopies. The territory is equipped with breakwaters and fences in the form of gratings. The strip of sand is very wide and cleanliness is maintained as it should. It is especially good to relax there when the sanatoriums themselves are not overloaded, but the beach does not represent something extraordinary.

To buy even water or ice cream, you will need to go to the promenade. Moreover, you should not expect that on the resort beaches you can get a full meal. But if you take a rest in the sanatoriums themselves, you can count on:

• Cafe;
• the shops;
• billiard rooms;
• cinema halls.

It is appropriate to start an overview of non-standard beaches for vacationers from Cape Alchak. It occupies a very special place in Sudak. After all, the conservation zone begins from here, and therefore even the lack of improvement did not prevent the owners from collecting fees.

The length of the beach at Cape Alchak is approximately 100 m.

The coast is covered partly with sand of a large fraction, parts with pebbles. On the cape itself, the vegetation is rather sparse, but the ledges of the rocks look very good.

There are no natural shelters from the sun. It is advisable to have in reserve and comfortable hiking shoes, because you may want to climb the hill.

It takes 15 minutes to get from the water park to Cape Alchak by bus 1 or 2 of the route. You can go by car. In this case, they are guided by the previously laid tracks. The area is quite beautiful, the coast is relatively clean, but not always convenient for relaxation. Large pebbles prevail, the sea off the coast is shallow, and by the end of May it warms up.

More comfortable are:

• "Lagoon";
• Miami
• "South coast".

On these beaches for rent sun loungers, umbrellas. You can eat in the cafe, just sit on the benches or have fun on the rides. Among the wild beaches it is not recommended to visit the Teddy Bear. It is rather dirty, and abandoned buildings spoil the whole view created by mountains and steppe grass. In addition, this place is actively used for dog walking.

A little more enjoyable camping "Capsel". Its territory is protected, and dog lovers, as well as lovers of throwing garbage, are not allowed there. However, the shower and toilet are present only in the "camping" version. For fans of romantic leisure in the lap of nature, this should not be a serious obstacle. The fee in Kapsel varies according to the type of housing: they will accept for their rubles for 400 rubles, and they will settle in a house for 1200 per day.

Important: all the beaches that are in the area of ​​the Fortress Mountain, during the rain, are flooded with streams of water and dirt. They pour right into the sea. That’s why it’s worth going there only after a few days of good weather. In the shallow part of the bay, a mass of algae is collected, covering the coast after storms. It is hardly reasonable to go here in August, because there is a great danger of a collision with jellyfish.

It is best to visit Capsel Bay in the last days of June and early July. In spring, it’s also not bad, when winter gloom gives way to bright, rich colors. The sea breeze refreshes, invigorates and helps to recover from lung diseases. There are non-standard beaches in Sudak. The main nudist relaxation area is located at the foot of Mount Doodle.

There, sunbathers are located on large boulders of large size.

An alternative could be another beach - to get on it, you need to go around Cape Alchak and then move towards Feodosia. This path is only for courageous people, because not everyone will be able to go over a narrow bridge over the abyss, holding on only to the cable. But the atmosphere at the goal is completely unusual.

But the opinion of the nudists themselves is such that the best choice would be Turtle beach. Getting there is much easier - you just need to go by your own car or by minibus. The end point of the trip is the village of New World. From him, vacationers go to Sokol Mountain. For lovers of experiments, however, any secluded bay between Alchak and Meganom is also suitable.

A few decades ago, Sudak was considered a boring and faceless city, and even the beaches did not greatly improve this picture. A positive feature of the coast, judging by the reviews, is that it is unique - it is impossible to find places with quartz sand somewhere in the Crimea. Views from almost any section of the embankment are very good.

For children, the coast of Sudak fits almost perfectly. Entertainment near the sea is quite common for the peninsula.

Bananas, boat trips, parachuting are available.

Despite all this, experienced tourists are not advised to go there during the high season. A visit to Sudak can be combined with a tour of the New World. The vast majority of vacationers are satisfied with local beaches, even if the requirements are high. By arrangement, they are not inferior to other places on the coast of Crimea.
