Many people, having designated the south of their zone of rest, want to go to the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory with sandy beaches. After all, it’s so nice: to rest peacefully under the gentle rays of the sun, lying on a golden fine sand. Inexperienced spoiled tourists who have visited Turkey or Egypt several times with their luxurious beach areas, come to relax, for example, in the famous Sochi, are unpleasantly surprised to see that they will have to sunbathe on a rocky narrow strip of land. Meanwhile, such a surprise could not have happened if they had taken care to find out in advance where the sandy beaches are in the Krasnodar Territory.
400 km seashore
As soon as the people call the coast of the Krasnodar Territory: "Russian subtropics", "Russian Riviera", etc. Every summer thousands of tourists come here from all regions of vast Russia.
From the Taman Peninsula to Adler, where the border with the Abkhaz Republic begins, the Black Sea coastal strip stretches for 400 km, where there are a lot of friendly southern cities and towns. In order to more accurately imagine where exactly to look for sandy beaches of the Krasnodar Territory on this vast territory, a map is simply necessary. It is not for nothing that they say that it is better to see once.
So, we open the map and carefully look: the closer the territory to the Taman Peninsula, the less rocky the seashore is, and vice versa. Look from the map from left to right: the south the settlements are located, the closer they are to the spurs of the Caucasus Mountains, the more stones and pebbles are found on the shore, and the less often you can find clean sandy coastal areas there.
The most famous resorts of the Krasnodar Territory with sandy beaches
In order not to torment you with a long introduction, we will immediately declassify the places of southern Russia, where on the seashore there are beautiful beaches with golden fine sand. First of all, this is the northernmost part of the coast of the Krasnodar Territory - Anapa and its environs.
The resort villages of Veselovka, Sukko, Utrish, Dzhemete, Vityazevo can please their guests with beautiful beach areas. In general, the entire coastal territory from Veselovka (the northernmost part of the coast) to Anapa is one large (60 km) sandy beach. But you need to keep in mind that sometimes there are still areas consisting of small pebbles, although this is probably the exception for this area.
How did the sandy beaches form?
It turns out that the sandy beaches of the Krasnodar Territory owe their birth not to the sea, but to the Kuban River, the bottom of which was strewn with sand. Once it fell into the Black Sea, now it is reminded of the red quartz sands remaining on the surface, and the Kiziltash estuary adjacent to the sea.
The healing properties of sandy beaches
Why are resorts of the Krasnodar Territory with sandy beaches so attractive to people? There are probably several reasons, and one of them is that the local sand is very healthy. It is capable of exerting on our body not only a relaxing, but even a painkiller. When the beach sand comes in contact with the skin, carbon dioxide is formed, which activates the immune and respiratory systems, blood flow, and restores the skin.
Why do you really want to bury yourself in the sand with your whole body, which is what most vacationers do from time to time? Probably, the body intuitively feels that it needs to be healed a little. After all, such "sand baths" have a wonderful regenerating property. Doctors call these procedures psammotherapy. In no medical institution is it possible to obtain such a healing effect. In the fresh sea air, under the rays of the southern sun in just a couple of weeks you can recharge with real good health and youth.
Sanitary condition of beaches in the Krasnodar Territory
Although the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory with sandy beaches are very popular among Russians, the sanitary condition of many territories leaves much to be desired. This is said upon return by many. But often the tourists themselves are to blame for this state of affairs. The lack of culture is the real scourge of modern Russian resorts. Often, vacationers leave behind themselves just mountains of garbage. What just does not meet underfoot! Cigarette butts, food debris, fragments of bottles - all this, unfortunately, can be found on the beach.
Of course, the administration of resort areas tries to fight this, the beaches are cleaned and cleaned daily, but sometimes cleaning does not keep pace with the speed of pollution. Let us remember that the sandy beaches of the Krasnodar Territory, the photo of which is an adornment of many advertising posters and brochures, are a national treasure. In order for our descendants to also enjoy their holidays in these wonderful places, we must protect and take care of the cleanliness of the world around us.
Where on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory there are no sandy beaches
At the beginning of the article, it was said that tourists in Sochi are often discouraged by not finding sand on the shore. Small sandy areas, of course, can be found throughout the coast from Anapa to Adler. But the real big sandy beaches of the Krasnodar Territory are located only in the Anapa zone. Such well-known sea resorts as Gelendzhik, Kabardinka, Arkhipo-Osipovka, Tuapse, Dagomys, Adler, already mentioned Sochi, i.e., all territories located south of the Anapa region, can offer guests relaxation mainly on beaches covered with pebbles or stones. This, in general, is also not bad, because the pebbles have a wonderful massage effect.
