And with a range of activities to suit all ages, this beach is the perfect destination for families and individuals alike.

We embarked on a family trip with three kids, aiming for relaxation. For our stay, we chose a "House on the Sea" at a site resembling a campsite, offering various types of houses, ranging from basic ones with outdoor showers reminiscent of the USSR era, to more comfortable homes with all modern conveniences. However, the sea was disappointingly shallow, which was the only drawback of our trip. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a shoreline littered with jellyfish and a strong iodine scent, but to our relief, cleaning efforts on the neighboring beach were already underway. By morning, the beach was impeccably clean, and continuous efforts were made to remove algae and jellyfish throughout our stay. Still, due to the shallow waters, we didn't spend much time on the beach. It's worth noting, though, that this could be an ideal spot for families with young children. For those seeking a beach-centric vacation primarily for swimming, this place might not be the best fit. However, the area around Gengorka had plenty to offer. We explored the nearby Pink Lake with its boundless brine, located just 5 km from the beach. Other attractions within reach included hot springs, salt lakes, a glycerin lake, a Safari Park with a variety of animals, a dolphinarium, and a water park. Conveniently, a market and several shops were also close by, with a 10-minute walk to the nearest ATM in Gengorka. The prices were reasonable, and surprisingly, there were no mosquitoes, despite the proximity to reeds. Special thanks go to Sergey, who provided us with our accommodation. He and his wife Lena went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, paying attention to every detail, from kitchen sponges to barbecue grills. An exciting moment for the kids was meeting the host Christina from "Swindlers in the Nets" on the promenade. Overall, the experience was delightful, blending comfort with adventure and exploration.
