The Black Sea is the best place for a beach holiday in Russia, especially since the Crimea has become easily accessible. In this article, we will look at the best Black Sea resorts and see why they are so good.
Sochi
Sochi is the main resort town Black Sea coast. It is part of the Greater Sochi zone, which includes a number of good resorts and stretches all the way to Abkhazia. Its main feature is a developed tourist infrastructure. By the way, Krasnaya Polyana, a popular winter tourism center, is located in Greater Sochi.
Sochi itself is popular mainly because of the developed tourist infrastructure. It has built many entertainment centers, museums, zoos, water parks, amusement parks and sports grounds.
After the Olympics, everything is in order with the sport. A wonderful skate park has been opened on Ostrovsky Square, and a sports town has been built in the Riviera. There are also many opportunities for active entertainment around the city - hiking and horseback riding, rock climbing, rafting along the Mzymta and much more.
But mostly people come here for a beach holiday, although the beaches here are not particularly luxurious. The equipped ones are usually paid, belong to hotels, but there are also public and wild coasts.
And there are a lot of hotels, sanatoriums, health resorts and other places where you can have a good rest and improve your health.
Reviews about this city are mostly positive - the rating on review sites is kept in the range of 4-4.5 points. Tourists are attracted by sunny weather, the sea, numerous entertainments and hotels. Also, many note the cleanliness, hospitality of the locals and very beautiful nature. It is good here both with children and just adults vacationing.
There are also negative feedback– mostly about a large number of people and high prices. Some talk about dirt, but this information is not confirmed by the photo, so it is unlikely that it is reliable. There are those who do not like too hot climate.
Gelendzhik
This is not only one of the best resorts in Russia on the Black Sea, but also the center of the region, which includes Divnomorskoye, Kabardinka and other popular places.
Of the sights of attention are numerous museums, Gebeds waterfalls, Kastalskaya font. In Kabardinka, in the Old Park, there are small copies of buildings different styles and epochs.
You can have fun on the attractions of the Central Park and in the water parks Zolotaya Bukhta and Behemoth. Thrill-seekers will enjoy the Safari Park, and lovers water world- in the Oceanarium and Dolphinarium.
The main thing in Gelendzhik is the beaches. The city has a sandy beach, all the rest are small pebbles. Kabardinka has both pebbly and sandy beaches suitable for families with children. In Dzhanhot and Divnomorskoye, there is also a good coast, but it is exclusively pebbly.
The reviews are good, but tourists immediately note that the sea in the resort is dirty, and the prices are very high. Other than that everything is great... interesting entertainment, beautiful nature, interesting sights. True, it can be boring with children, but adults can definitely have a good time.
Adler
Adler is considered part of Greater Sochi, but we decided to talk about it separately, as it deserves attention. A resort in the very south of the zone, with a huge amount of entertainment, cafes, nightclubs, etc. This is accompanied by beautiful nature and, of course, the sea. The beaches are mostly pebbly, the entrance is smooth, so you can relax with children. The main advantage is the clean coast and water. Even on the municipal and free shores there is infrastructure, from sun loungers to entertainment in the form of riding on water on various boats.
There are also sights - for example, the Mzymta River, Botanical Garden, dolphinarium and water park Amphibius.
Reviews are contradictory - almost everyone likes the sea and beaches, but Adler itself seems noisy, dirty and gassed even to picky tourists. It is inconveniently organized public transport, rather boring and not very much entertainment. As elsewhere in the Krasnodar Territory, very high prices. But purely for a beach holiday, the place is quite good - the main thing is better to choose a hotel.
Anapa
Anapa is a famous resort, mainly because of the low prices. It has a pleasant and mild climate, sandy and pebble beaches, and many mineral springs for treatment. Usually families with children, lovers and young people come here. It is good for children here thanks to the developed infrastructure and safe descent into the sea.
There are also interesting sightseeing places - Abrau-Dyurso wineries, the African village, the Sukko Valley, the historical show "Rome", the Lago-Naki plateau, the Shapsug paranormal area, etc.
Reviews are different - the sea and sand are good, but the infrastructure is not very developed. Tourists do not like inconvenient transport, bad shops and a huge number of tourists. Service in hotels is often terrible, and there is evidence of this, so it is better to choose a place to stay very carefully. But for saving and relaxing purely on the beach and in the sea, the place is quite suitable.
Yalta
Yalta is the main resort of Crimea. The beaches here are different, there are municipal ones with rental of umbrellas and sunbeds, there are also paid VIP zones. The most popular are the Central Beach and Massandrovy Beach, there are a lot of people, but there are entertainments for every taste.
Among the interesting sights are the Armenian Church, the Roffe baths, the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, the city cable car, the Church of St. John Chrysostom and city embankment.
You can have fun in cafes and restaurants, city attractions and casinos. And in mid-August, the city day is held here, and it is celebrated very cheerfully.
Reviews of Yalta are almost entirely positive - people note clean air, warm sea, excellent beaches and beautiful nature from the merits. The city is pleasant, accommodation is not too expensive and the mountains are really amazing.
Of the negative points, rather high prices for entertainment and food, as well as a large number of people, are noted. There are also scams.
Feodosia
Feodosia is one of the best Black Sea resorts located in Crimea. It attracts tourists with its developed infrastructure and pleasant climate, as well as a huge number of healing springs and deposits of mineral mud.
The beach here stretches for 17 kilometers. The most popular place is Kameshki, ideally equipped for comfortable rest. There are many cafes and eateries on the waterfront, there are entertainment centers Lunapark and Africa. A little to the north is the Children's Beach with warm water and a gentle entry into the water.
But the main advantage of Feodosia is its sanatoriums and boarding houses, where, thanks to mineral waters, mud and clean air, people are treated for whole group diseases.
Tourists love this resort precisely for the clear sea, golden sands, pleasant weather and fairly low prices. Especially often families with children and the elderly come here to improve their health. Some do not like the city itself - it seems neglected and a little confusing, with not very developed infrastructure. Sometimes the water is cold, but this is rather an exception. The number of people in different reviews is different, someone gets to the peak, and to someone the beaches seem deserted.
Evpatoria
Evpatoria is ancient city in the Crimea, whose history begins with the Greek Kerkinitida. Now it is one of the best resorts in Russia on the Black Sea, which attracts tourists with sandy beaches. Mostly they are paid, but there are public ones, for example, New Beach or Central Park Beach. It is New that is liked by locals and tourists - it is suitable for families with children, and for large companies. By the way, paid ones are not very expensive - only 20-30 rubles per person, while the infrastructure is better. Pay attention to the boarding house "Planet" and "Magnat". There is also a nudist zone, "Sunny Paradise".
This is not only a beach, but also an excellent balneological resort. There are mud baths, estuaries and a unique climate that combines elements of dry steppe and humid sea. They treat here comprehensively, not forgetting about physiotherapy and physical education.
Tourists mostly like it here, especially the clean sea and beaches, but the service cannot be called good, especially if you focus on European resorts. Guests of the city do not like artificially high prices. The city itself seems dirty to some. But almost no one gets bored here.
Tuapse
Unlike other Black Sea cities, Tuapse is not only touristic, but also industrial. Its zone includes such settlements as Agoy, Dzhugba, Novomikhailovsky, Lermontovo, Nebug and a number of others.
The beaches here are mostly free, umbrellas and sun loungers are rented. They are small pebbles, in some places there are sandy ones, for example, Orlenka in Lermontovo. In Tuapse itself, the Central and Primorsky are the most popular.
There are many entertainments around the beaches, there are amusement parks, cafes and restaurants. In the villages, sanatoriums and boarding houses are open, where they are engaged in mud therapy, exercise therapy and massage.
And there is also very beautiful nature - a lot of forests and subtropical gardens.
On review sites, Tuapse has a rating of four. The city itself is quite pleasant, but one feels that it is industrial - it is better to choose villages and relax there. The beaches are not very clean, but the nature is beautiful, and the prices are quite democratic. In general, as elsewhere, there are pros and cons.
Alushta
This city is on south coast Crimea is well protected from cold winds, so it is always warm here. And low humidity and constant sun add to its advantages even against the background of other Black Sea resorts.
There are also attractions here - vineyards and beautiful nature, but mostly tourists are attracted by beaches. Most often they are private, belong to boarding houses. Municipal paid, you will have to pay 100-150 rubles for the entrance. The main beach areas are located in the Professor's Corner.
Alushta is also ideal for treatment - climatotherapy, mineral water and mud therapy are available here.

Pictures from the Internet lure us to foreign seaside resorts to enjoy palm trees on the waterfront, healing treatments and beautiful views. In fact, you can relax just as well without leaving Russia. The coastline of the Black Sea covers hundreds of kilometers. We have chosen, in our opinion, the best places to relax on the Black Sea.
To determine where to relax on the Black Sea in Russia is best, the following indicators should be taken into account:
- climate;
- popularity;
- infrastructure;
- price;
- attractions;
- entertainment.
The first resort in the list of the best is Anapa. Here you can have a great rest with your family and improve your health, as the resort is famous for its healing mud.
The beaches in Anapa are characterized by a gentle entry into the water, so they are ideal for children. By the way, kids can be taught to swim and snorkel, in Anapa you can easily find a children's coach.
The coastal zone is not the only place for recreation. We recommend visiting the famous "Russian Gates" of the Turkish fortress, the Gorgippia Museum, look at the Anapa lighthouse, and the aquarium. The pride of the resort is the dolphinarium. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the water area of the park is located in the open sea.
Not far from Anapa lies the picturesque Sukko Valley. Here you can find deserted wild beaches with small pebbles.
Perhaps, in terms of popularity, Sochi is the leader. The humid subtropical climate allows the beach season to start from the beginning of May and end closer to November.
The area fascinates with its beauty. The coastal zone is bordered by mountains. In the gorges, rivers form high waterfalls, lakes and dense forests are located nearby. Tourists are offered excursions to mountain canyons and caves. Sochi is not only the largest resort in Russia, but also a spacious protected area.
To get to know interesting places and sights of the city, the beauty of its nature, go on from the locals. There really is something to see here, especially after the Olympics.
Adler is part of the Sochi resort group, so it is also very popular among Russians. Here are the famous Olympic Park and the theme park Sochi. You won’t be bored in Adler, the attention of vacationers is offered:
- dolphinarium;
- aquapark;
- oceanarium;
- ostrich farm;
- arboretum;
- apery;
- skypark.
The local beaches are considered one of the cleanest on this coastline. The sanatoriums offer procedures with hydrogen sulfide silt mud and mineral waters. Such treatment is recommended for people with chronic diseases of almost all body systems.
If the purpose of rest is to improve, best option- Gelendzhik. There are more than a dozen sanatoriums and boarding houses here. The air is saturated with the scent of pines and junipers. There are both pebble beaches and artificially created sandy ones.
There are also many entertainments in Gelendzhik:
- three water parks;

- cable car;
- amusement park;
- dolphinarium.
The area in Gelendzhik is very picturesque. Be sure to go on an excursion, get acquainted with the ancient dolmens, the Parus rock, the waterfalls of the Zhane River.
Tuapse is another health resort. The air here is unusually fresh, as large area occupy forests. Here you can have great fun: ride a catamaran, scuba dive and even jump with a parachute. At the same time, the cost of living here is lower than in the resorts of the Sochi group.
The minus of the city of Tuapse is a chemical fertilizer plant, so when settling it is better to choose places away from the center.
The most popular resort on the southern coast of Crimea is Yalta. Here, as in the case of Sochi, it is worth distinguishing between two concepts: Big Yalta, that is, 70 km of coastline in the south of Crimea, and the city of Yalta itself.
The main attractions of this region are:
- Wuchang-Su waterfall;
- mountain Ai-Petri;
- Yalta embankment;
- "Glade of fairy tales";
- Livadia Palace;
- Vorontsov Palace;
- Swallow's Nest in Gaspra;
- Nikitsky Botanical Garden;
- massandra winery.
There are enough places for entertainment, including at night. For example, after sunset, you can go to a party on a yacht. If you go on a boat trip during the day, get ready to see dolphins jumping out of the water.
In the south-east of Crimea there is a popular balneo-mud resort Feodosiya. The sea here is unusually clean, since the bottom in the beach areas is predominantly sandy and practically not overgrown with algae. The descent is smooth, there are sections with shallow depth, which is ideal for children and people who cannot swim. The favorite place of vacationers is the Golden Beach, which is gradually replaced by a pebble coast.
For healing in Feodosia, the mineral water of the same name is used. Also here you can get a job in a sanatorium or boarding house.
If you are looking for an inexpensive place to relax on the Black Sea, pay attention to the small resort town of Evpatoria. The beaches here are safe, vacationers are offered a wide variety of entertainment, for example, yachting or diving in the Tarkhankut caves.
To increase the level of cultural education, we advise you to get acquainted with the old part of the city. Evpatoria is considered an open-air museum, with its mosques and Karaite kenasas. This part of the city is popularly known as Little Jerusalem.
Alushta is considered one of the best places for recreation among the Crimean resorts. The swimming season starts in May and ends in October. The climate is favorable, the summer is not as hot as in Yalta. The beaches here are strewn with small pebbles, the mountains are overgrown with beech and pine forests. There is also a source of healing water.

- mountain range Chatyr-Dag;
- Mount Castel;
- Cape Plaka;
- Bird Islands;
- Khapkhal gorge;
- waterfall Dzhur-Dzhur;

The cozy town of Sudak is perfect for a family holiday. It offers breathtaking views of the sea and the valley. The promenade stretches along the beach, next to it is the Sudak fortress and Cape Alchak. If the bustle of the resort and active beach activities tire you, not far from Sudak you can find a more peaceful and secluded place to relax in the quiet and picturesque "colored" bays of the New World.

Coast Features
The Black Sea coast of Russia stretches from Adler to Taman for more than 400 kilometers. If we add here the coastline of the Crimean peninsula (750 kilometers), it turns out that our country ranks second after Turkey (1400 km) in terms of the length of the coastal territory of the "inhospitable sea" - as the ancient Greeks called it. By climatic conditions Black Sea coast Krasnodar Territory is divided into three types: temperate (from Taman to Anapa), Mediterranean (from Anapa to Tuapse) and subtropical (from Tuapse to Adler).
