Road junction
There are always a lot of Muscovites on the Khlebnikovo beach, as it is very easy to get here both by car and by train.
Bus No. 17 regularly leaves from the Altufyevo metro station, shuttle buses No. 19 and 459, 572 also run. When leaving the metro car, you need to move towards the first car and go near the Perekrestok store, that's where the minibuses stop.
If you get your own vehicle, you need to move along the Dmitrov highway, before turning on the bridge over the canal to them. Moscow, turn right.
How can I get to Khlebnikovo beach? In the summertime, river transport departs from the River Station.
If you go by train, you need to take any next in Savelovsky direction and get to the station "Khlebnikovo" or "Vodniki". The direction from the station can always be checked with local residents, but you need to move towards the automobile bridge over the canal and turn right in front of the bridge and walk about another 1 km.
Muscovites opinions
Naturally, it is impossible to please every person. Nevertheless, reviews about the Khlebnikovo beach are pretty good. Parents are pleased that the children's beach is fenced, and do not worry that something will happen to the child. Others, on the contrary, did not like the coast, as it is uneven and a little hilly.
The main problem that worries vacationers is the huge lines for shuttles and buses in the direction of Moscow. It is clear that after sunbathing everyone is tired and want to get home, and when they come to a stop, you see and understand that it will not work out quickly. Not the best situation with the owners of vehicles, as in the evening and morning traffic jams on the roads.
It pleases vacationers that admission is free, but the cost of renting the same barbecue is quite high, as are the prices in a cafe. In any case, the Khlebnikovo beach is only 6 km from Moscow, and you are already in a small paradise in the region where you can swim, bask in the sun and relax in the summer season.
