Burlacha Balka - all beaches

This beach is an exceptional spot to spend your time amidst indulging in delicious food and strolling around. The staff lays out wooden pathways, making it wheelchair-friendly, and allows you to bring your little ones in carts. The central area of the beach is usually spotless, thanks to the hardworking staff who ensure that no litter is left behind. You will be surrounded by vendors who tirelessly promote their wares, walking along the shoreline thrice every hour. If you are too lazy to venture out and find a reasonable price, be prepared to pay double for half-empty sweet rolls and scrumptious pakhlava, which is legendary. Additionally, there are four African gentlemen who walk around wearing stereotypical costumes, playing drums, and uttering stereotypical phrases that make everyone chuckle. They charge for photos, using lines like hey mama, banana has come or hakuna matata, among others. Furthermore, there is an array of extreme water activities such as banana swimming and crab hunting that you can enjoy for a fee, which can be paid via card-to-card transfer. If you come across a rocky shore, keep walking, and you will eventually encounter a lengthy stretch of sandy beach. Don't be disheartened if the water is freezing cold in mid-August due to storms or floods; it warms up again in a few days. I highly recommend spending your mornings and afternoons here; you won't regret it. A helpful hint: big rocks are the ideal spot to find good crabs.

The beach is a picturesque location that offers a serene ambiance for strolling and capturing memorable moments through photography. Its beauty is undeniable, and it provides a perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories.

While the beach may offer convenient access to the sea, it is disappointing that there are no shower facilities available.

We have been really happy at this beautiful place.

Good

This beach is an amazing and serene location. The water is not just clean, but the cleanest I have ever seen! It's a great joy to swim in such pristine waters. The beach is also relatively empty, with only 26 people present at 10 am today. It's a free and pleasant experience. I would recommend bringing an umbrella, water, a yoga mat or thick blanket, and slippers for the corals. The pebbles can be sharp and may cause injury. Additionally, it's important to wear a mask while exploring the underwater world. There is so much to see! As someone who has visited beaches in Crimea, I can say that this beach is just as enjoyable with its hot pebbles and crystal-clear water.
