Latest reviews on Krasnodar Krai's beaches

Dzhubga beach
8 Lyle Barker

Ok!!!

Stanitsa Dolzhanskaya
10 Mark Thompson III

This coastal haven is a must-visit destination! To begin with, there is an array of beach options to choose from. You can head to the Taganrog Bay, or venture in the opposite direction to the sprawling long car camping coast, or visit the Dolgaya Spit - where the bay meets the sea! The Dolzhanka beach stretches up to two kilometers! While driving is the preferred mode of transportation, a well-located accommodation would allow for a leisurely 1.5 km stroll from the center in either direction. A true paradise for beach lovers!

Arkhipo-Osipovka beach
10 Nina Ivanova.

The shoreline of Arkhipo Osipovka boasts a pristine and immaculate beach, adorned with a delightful blend of pebbles and sand. The water is crystal clear and unpolluted, making it an ideal spot for a refreshing dip. The beach is bustling with activity during the peak season, with a plethora of sunbeds available for visitors to bask in the sun. There is no dearth of options when it comes to grabbing a quick bite or indulging in a sumptuous meal, as numerous cafes and canteens are scattered across the beach.

Kuchugury beach
10 Sergei Ivanovich

This beach is pretty awesome - the water is warm, the sand is fine, and the depth varies throughout. We were able to find a spot that suited us just fine. While there are some areas with jellyfish, that's just part of nature. Overall, a great spot to check out - Kuchugury Forevo!

Tolsty Mys
10 Lina Kazlauskaitė

We spent our vacation at the Chernomorsky residential complex and it was an absolute delight. The location was perfect, with the beaches and the center being just a stone's throw away. Unlike the city, there were no steep hills to climb, making it a hassle-free experience. The complex had excellent infrastructure with a variety of shops and cafes catering to all tastes. The evenings were peaceful and serene, unlike the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a comfortable and enjoyable experience, especially for families with children.

Novomikhailovskii beach
10 Lirah M.

The shoreline boasts a pristine appearance, which is a testament to the responsible behavior of beachgoers. Despite the influx of visitors as of August 2, 2020, the atmosphere remains lively. The temperature has been refreshingly mild, yet it hasn't hindered anyone from relishing the ocean. Wishing everyone a delightful time!
