Ayu-Dag wild beach (Republic of Crimea) is located outside the Partenit settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Ayu-Dag wild beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

User reviews

"Located at the base of Ayu-Dag mountain, this beach can only be accessed by boat from the sea. A short 7-10 minute ride from Partenit city beach on a motorboat for 1000 rubles round trip, the boat will drop you off and arrange a pick-up time for your return. The water here is crystal clear and perfect for a refreshing swim."

Alexei Ivanov.

"This stunning beach has been my go-to destination every year since I was born! With limited crowds, there are always multiple campsites available for a peaceful retreat. However, during a 3-point storm, the coastline can become quite rocky, making it challenging to access the water."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Ayu-Dag wild beach (Republic of Crimea) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Ayu-Dag wild beach (Republic of Crimea) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Ayu-Dag wild beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
