Indeed, there are many beaches on the waterfront of the village, but not all of them are purely sandy. Sand on the shores is mixed with coarse or small pebbles, pebble shores are absent here. Fine golden sand is on the beaches of children's camps and related to private pensions.
The entire coastal zone of the village is beaches. It’s possible to pass unhindered only to some areas, it’s unlikely that you can get to the majority for free, except from the sea.
Many beaches are characterized by a convenient gentle entrance to the sea, without stones and boulders at the bottom, which could be injured. Sandy beaches are equipped with sun loungers and sunbeds, so it is convenient to spend time on them. Only a few wild areas lack equipment. However, sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented in the village, so this problem can be easily solved, and wild beaches are also filled with people during the season.
The difference may be the absence of numerous slides and piers, where you can rent water scooters or catamarans. Water recreation is suitable for both adults and children, no one will be bored.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure of the village is quite developed, many do not even consider this place a village. Numerous animators work here for children, and beach night clubs with exciting and varied shows open for adults.
The village has restaurants, a large cinema, recently opened good spa. Numerous excursions are sent both from boarding houses and privately, so during the rest you can explore the surroundings of Bakhchisaray, go to Sevastopol. This city has many historical attractions, so lovers of architectural beauty can fully satisfy their curiosity.
In Peschanoy itself there are no attractions, except for a monument erected by the English military who died in the Battle of Almina. There is an old border tower with beautiful views of the surroundings, but it is far from it, so it is not recommended to take children on the road. On the hills there are vineyards that will be interesting to lovers of natural beauty. Local hotels offer a lot of entertainment for both adults and children, so vacationers do not have to go somewhere.
Guest reviews
Vacationers positively note the nature, ecology, culture and infrastructure of Sandy. The settlement is recommended by 81% of users, positively noting the sea, clean air. Do not recommend a vacation in Peschanoy to those who are used to the gloss and splendor of hotels in Turkey or Egypt. There are no expensive social entertainments in Peschanoy. Some do not like the lack of local attractions.
If you choose a vacation in Peschanoye, it is recommended that you carefully study the possibilities of the considered pension. Pastime can be spoiled by poor-quality services of a hotel or guest house. If the boarding house does not have a private access to the beach, there may not be a place on the coast during the season.
Not all guest houses provide parking and meals, this can lead to unexpected expenses. The disadvantages of the users include the presence of children's camps, because of them the place can not be called quiet, children's din and noise here ceases with the onset of night. At the end of the season, the village and its beaches are not very clean, garbage is not often cleaned.
