Once in the 18th century, many traveled to the village of Solnechnoye along the Kurnosovsky postal tract, which stretches along the bay. Then it belonged to the Principality of Finland, and all those rushing here to their dachas from St. Petersburg were obliged to show their luggage at customs. But after the opening of the railway, the village became more visited, and in the summer there were more than five thousand people. And until now, until the 21st century, this place has not lost its popularity. Since the late 1960s, a beach has been opened here, corresponding to its name - Affectionate. The water here is really gentle, the waves calmly beat against the shore, and it’s so nice to walk tired legs along the sandy bottom. Therefore, many Petersburgers rush to the village of Solnechnoe. The beach there is so good that it is better not to find places on the entire Gulf of Finland.
Pine paradise
People who know how to swim very well consider the southern part of the beach a magnificent area. There is a deep and sandy bottom. But if someone does not swim very well, also let him not bypass him. There is a rescue station on the beach, and buoys have been carefully set up in especially dangerous places.
What catches your eye as soon as you get into the Solar? The beach is clean and well maintained. Also, one cannot fail to note the avant-garde sculptures, which admire the spa visitors for a long time looking at. Amaze with its splendor of pine. They have surrounded the beach and are even found on its territory. Trees not only decorate the whole area, but also give a big shadow when it is especially hot, but most importantly they support the soil. Concrete tracks are arranged everywhere, so you can go jogging and take your soul on a bicycle. There are benches everywhere, and even a fountain has been carefully made in order to wash the sand off your feet. The cleanliness is perfect here, as Affectionate beach is cleaned all the time.
On the territory, for the convenience of vacationers, everything is thought out to the smallest detail: cabins, to quickly change clothes and dive into the warm water, are right there on the sand. And in order that purity is maintained by the vacationers themselves, urns are everywhere.
The most delicious kebab - with friends in a tent
Entire families and friendly companies come to the village of Solnechnoe. Affectionate beach is convenient because you can come here even for a few days. On its territory provided places for overnight stays where you can put up tents. And there is no need to be afraid that something bad will happen: the guard carries its service here, day and night.
In the evening, in this place you can really relax by all the rules and cook a delicious barbecue for yourself and friends. Of course, you can’t make a fire, but there are numerous areas where barbecue facilities, tables and benches are installed. This is where you can sit in the evening, looking at the coast of the Gulf of Finland. In summer, a whole tent camp appears here, and on vacation it is very difficult to find a place.
Kite flying over the beach
Fans of outdoor activities will also appreciate the village of Solnechnoe (St. Petersburg). The beach, where you can find a magical place to relax, is here. For outdoor enthusiasts, there is a territory to play with the ball (up to ten volleyball courts are available!). During the summer season, fascinating competitions in this sport are held on the beach.
Often, colorful kites can be seen above the water. These are kitesurfers having fun racing along the water. Many guests from the shore enthusiastically watch both them and the kite in the air.
Food lovers will be satisfied
Many people go to the beach for more than one hour, so people often care about the problem of food. There is a cafe, even a few. For those who want to quickly have a bite to eat and go back into the water or engage in sports, eateries have opened their doors. They are located near the beach. But if someone wants to feel, regardless of the fact that he is in the village of Solnechnoe, whose beach is very close, yet a city dweller, there are also restaurants. They are no worse than urban institutions. They have a dress code and prices are much higher than in a regular cafe. But the food, of course, is different - it is more refined, and every gourmet will be satisfied.
In a train with a breeze towards relaxation
Petersburgers have chosen the beach for a long time. Getting here is easy. The train, which leaves from Finland Station, runs every half hour in this direction. It’s almost impossible to miss the stop because it’s called “Solar”. Upon reaching the platform, you should go in the direction where Vokzalnaya Street is located, and there it is already not far from the coast.
Favorite place of Petersburgers
Although located far from the city, the favorite vacation spot of Petersburgers is undoubtedly Affectionate Beach. Solar reviews collect the very best. There is evidence of this: in the old days, large state officials visited the village. Even when de Gaulle came to the USSR, he also visited here.
Having visited Solnechnoe beach, each guest will want to keep a photo for himself. Then in the winter cold evenings, looking at the picture, it will be possible to think that summer will come soon and again it will be possible to go to this place.
