In the vastness of our vast country, there are many places where people relax both alone and in large companies.

But in recent years, the opinion of tourists has changed, preference has been given to health resorts of the Azov coast. Those who prefer a family vacation were especially interested in this area.
But, before choosing where to relax on the Sea of Azov with a child, it is worth studying in detail the information about the best resort places.
Why is the Sea of Azov better?
Where is the best place to relax on the Sea of Azov with a child? This question interests many tourists preparing for a vacation. After all, choosing a place for a comfortable pastime, you should plan not only your own, but also children's leisure. There is no shortage in both adults and children's entertainment in almost any resort. Why does the Sea of Azov become a priority when choosing a vacation spot?
- One of the main factors that guide parents is the safety of the child. The Sea of Azov is much smaller than the Black Sea, and in the hot season it is even smaller, which only pleases tourists with children. After all, rest where the sea is shallow is much calmer and safer. A child can play and swim in the water near the shore without the risk of drowning.
- Another big plus of the Azov coast are sand and shell beaches. Many of us watched as children enthusiastically build towers and castles from warm sea sand, decorate them with shells. There are few rocky and pebbled coasts. This guarantees a good vacation on the Sea of Azov with children.
- And one more important point is budgeting. Prices for holidays on the Sea of Azov are much lower than in resort areas of the Black Sea coast, but the list of services and the level of service are no worse here.
All these advantages allow a person to spend a vacation not only inexpensively, but also comfortably. The question arises only about where to relax on the Sea of Azov with a child and which place is better to choose.
What is the best time to relax with children?
It is believed that you can come to the sea coast at any time of the beach season. So it is, but if it comes to holidays with children, it is better to give preference to the beginning of summer. June is the best time for families with children on the seashore. The water in the sea by this time has already been warmed up enough, but the main advantage of this month is the absence of the sweltering heat characteristic of July and August.
