We rented a place in the Anapolis residential complex, and the beach and sea are terrible. It's been five days, and the kids still can't go into the water. There's no storm, but the sea is just murky, dirty, and filled with dead insects and jellyfish. It's a complete letdown. I've never seen a dirtier sea. It seems like Anapa is like this everywhere.
We had an amazing experience. I appreciated the fact that there were not many people around. The seabed consists of large stones, but the shallow area is quite a distance away—approximately 20 meters. The beach is well-maintained, and it's quite pleasant to relax on the warm stones. There's also a decent cafe with a swimming pool right at the entrance to the beach.
