The best sandy beaches of Abkhazia

Abkhazia is an amazing place of incredible beauty. The unique and fertile nature, the healing climate, the very special atmosphere of this region make the holiday here unforgettable. All these qualities of the Soul Countries, as the locals call it, are great for relaxing with children. Including for the first acquaintance with the sea, especially since it is much cleaner here than at the Russian Black Sea resorts located not so far away. And since bathing in the azure water is the main thing for which people go to Abkhazia, it is worthwhile to learn more about the beaches themselves, since this is an inseparable attribute of such a holiday. And if adults can easily lie on a pebble or even a stony surface, small tomboy must certainly run, and galloping on stones, you see, is not a pleasant occupation. That is why the sandy beaches of Abkhazia are popular with families with children. Basically, the shoreline is pebbly or sand and pebble, although if you try, you can find clean sand. Consider the main beaches in some of the resorts of this amazing country.

Sukhumi

A city with ancient history, the capital of the Land of the Soul. Vacationers on the beaches a bit, so you can not be afraid to stay without a place in the sun. In general, there is a large and small pebble. However, those who are looking for a sandy beach in Abkhazia, can also get what they want.

The beach "Sinop" is most popular among local residents and guests of the city. It is located in the south-west of Sukhum. From the center can be reached by public transport within 5 minutes, on foot - about half an hour. There is an entrance for motor transport, here you can leave the car. Sufficiently wide (more than 50 meters). Log into the sea is gentle - just what you need for children. On the territory there are cafes, snack bars, a shower, a toilet, and a variety of water activities are offered.

You can also note the beaches belonging to the sanatoriums "RVSN" and "MVO". They can not be called completely sandy, because there is a pebble strip nearer to the water. However, these are the most well-equipped recreation areas with sun loungers, sun umbrellas, cafes and rental outlets for beach equipment. But these sandy beaches of Abkhazia are not municipal property. Only residents of sanatoriums can use them freely. However, this does not mean that you can not get there if you do not have a rest in the health resort of the country called Abkhazia. Sandy beach - the private sector, or rather its guests, can also visit. Only vacationers have to pay for the entrance. However, the price, rather, is purely symbolic.

Pitsunda

This settlement is the best place for rest with children. Here, surprisingly clean air thanks to the grove of relic Pitsunda pine and the cleanest sea on the entire coast. Basically, the cover of the coastal strip is small-peaked. But here there is, perhaps, the best sandy beach in Abkhazia. More precisely, it is located not in Pitsunda itself, but 6 km from it, in the fishing village of Pisces. Very spacious, there is always where to put the rug. And if you get up early and come to the morning sun, then you can see how the dolphins splash. There is another big plus for this place: Pitsunda Bay protects the coast, and therefore there are no strong winds and high waves, the sea is mostly calm and quiet.

In addition, resting in the vicinity of Pitsunda, it makes sense to pay attention to the sandy beaches of Abkhazia in the village of Agarka and the village of Ldzaa (Lidzava). Of course, they do not look like comfortable beaches of foreign resorts, and far from the Russian coast to them in terms of comfort and infrastructure. However, for silence, tranquility and beauty, they may well rival.

Gagra

Gagra can rightly be called a youth resort. This is where the majority of holidaymakers are striving. Both in the old and new parts of the city the beaches are mostly pebbly. However, in Old Gagra there is a very good beach, belonging to the sanatorium "Sunny". Strictly speaking, it is also not quite sandy, rather, sand and pebble. The entrance to it is paid. Fortunately, here, as in Pitsunda, the sea does not worry much. From the high waves of vacationers protects the Gagra range.

New Athos

Quiet, quiet resort, having a rest here a little, therefore families with small children very much like this place. The sea is clean and warm, the approach to the water is gentle. But, the truth, the phrase "sandy beaches of Abkhazia" - not about this resort. Here basically a pebble. However, if you choose not public beaches, and be satisfied with the wild, in the vicinity of New Athos it is quite possible to find sand and pebble cover. Of course, you can not dream about the infrastructure, but you can enjoy the delightful nature in full. Also there is a sand and pebble beach, belonging to the territory of the boarding house "At the monastery". Despite the fact that this is a private area, the entrance is free, and the holidaymakers are quite few, so there is enough space for everyone.

Finally

If you think whether to choose a holiday in Abkhazia, a sandy beach should not be the only criterion. In any case, visit the Land of Soul is mandatory. After all, this is an unforgettable place, in which it is very easy to fall in love.
