Alushta is a town in the southern part of Crimea with a sub-Mediterranean climate corresponding to the geography: there are long warm summers and short winters, when the temperature rarely drops below 0 degrees.
This place is considered one of the best resorts in Russia, not only because of the weather. The city is washed by the beloved Black Sea, and the length of the coastline is as much as 80 km. Shale-type sand prevails here, there are also coasts with pebbles and large boulders, which are characteristic of wild coasts. And this implies the following advantage of almost any resort town - anyone can choose a beach to their liking: where it is less crowded and quiet, or, conversely, more noisy and festive. In some places you can just swim for free, in others a full range of services, entertainment and cafes are provided.
Consider below in the article the beaches of Alushta with a photo. Descriptions and recommendations will also be provided.
Central Beach
Of course, this is the most favorite place forvacationing tourists and locals due to its availability and free of charge. The second name is "Affectionate coast". The beach is located in the city on Parkovaya Street, so it is the easiest to get here. Nearby is the famous city rotunda. There is also a developed infrastructure: there is an aquarium, a dolphinarium, many services and entertainment provided. For example, many cafes, toilets, changing rooms, sunbeds, rides. Security for vacationers is provided: there are doctors and rescuers. It is also very convenient that there is a specially designated place for the disabled, where you can go down into the water with the help of handrails. And not far from the "Affectionate Coast" - the beach near the Alushta embankment, which is considered a continuation of the first, but much narrower and smaller.
Perhaps this place has significant drawbacks. During the open swimming season, there are a lot of people here. The beach shore is literally all crowded during the day, and drunk and noisy companies can also be found. And the next minus follows from this - you can find garbage on the beach. Those wishing to relax here are advised to come in the morning in order to have time to take comfortable places, and also not to leave garbage behind.
Professor's Corner
This place is considered the second most popular among people. Located in the western part of Alushta, relatively close to the Central Beach, it is a sanatorium area. Length - 2.5 km. The entire line of the Professor's Corner is divided into smaller sections, separated by breakwaters. The shores are mainly made of pebbles of various sizes, there are alsosandy, for example, the beaches of the sanatoriums "Dnepr", "Pearl", "Alushta", "Sea". Also, tourists can please themselves with a rest in the nearby water park "Almond Grove".
The Professor's Corner has a rich history. At the end of the 19th century, a geologist and hydrologist settled in this place to conduct research and establish a water supply system for enterprises. Then many more scientists and professors began to come here, and that is why the name comes from here. The professor's corner turned out to be comfortable for life, houses and dachas began to appear. And I especially fell in love with the coast located here.
Fishing camp
Located 4 kilometers from the city. Has fewer people than nearby Central Beach. However, there is an interesting feature here - there is practically no coast, and the sea begins immediately. But any vacationer can sit on the pier and go down into the water from there. There are water activities, cafes, but no sun loungers.
Royal Beach
Located in the very east of Alushta. The mouth of the Demerdzhi River also originates here. Due to the small size of the city, many beaches are located next to each other, so you can quickly get here through the "Tender Coast".
The coast is pebbly, there are sun loungers, toilets, cabins. The beach is not as crowded as Central. And nearby is a special picturesque place - Seaside Park. Here you can find about 60,000 different types of plants, trees and bushes! And also the house of Stakheev,which was built at the end of the 19th century.
"Children's" beach
This place is so named because it belongs to the Center for Creativity for Children and Teenagers. It is also located near the Central Beach - a few minutes walk. It is less crowded here, but there is no infrastructure, since entertainment and cafes are concentrated in the territory of the "neighbor".
Beaches of resort villages
For those who want to take a break from the bustle of the city, there is an opportunity to go to beaches more distant from Alushta. Reviews of tourists about them are also quite positive. Many people notice that in places that belong to resort villages, there are cleaner beaches and water, there are fewer people than in the city, but there are all amenities. These beaches include, for example:
- P. Free. Located 50 kilometers from the city. Fenced by mountain plateau Karabi-Yayla. There are two large beaches here. One of them is the Kanak beam, 2.5 kilometers long and 300 meters wide. Another beach is Katran, whose name refers to a species of small Black Sea sharks. These places are also suitable for those who like to relax as savages: with tents, spending the night under the stars or in cars. The beaches, however, are not wild at all: the water warms up quickly, there are pebbles and sand, you can rent sun loungers, ride catamarans, and the village itself is located quite close by.
- P. Cliff. A picturesque place to relax, as it is located in a green bay, and nearby there are local "sights" - the rock "Three Sisters", a fountain source and evenaquapark. There is also a developed infrastructure, entertainment for adults and children, cafes and much more.
- Urban-type settlement Partenit. It is located in the west of Alushta near Mount Ayu-Dag or, in other words, Bear Mountain, whose age is 160 million years. Once it was a volcano, but it froze, remaining in the ground, turning into a hill (at the moment, the height is more than 500 m above sea level), similar to a lying bear. The village itself is generally surrounded on almost all sides by mountains, and as a result, in the rainy seasons, they contribute to better weather than in Alushta. Partenit is only 30 years old, but there is already a developed infrastructure on the beach, entertainment, a functioning sanatorium, residential buildings. And from the sights besides the mountain - Cape Plaka, the dolphinarium, the palace of a famous princess.
- There are many other villages where you can go to swim in the sea. For example, Satera, Semidvore. There are also beaches of boarding houses in Alushta. Entrance to them is also free.
There are also beaches of Alushta hotels. But they, as a rule, are valid only for guests. But the quality is guaranteed: clean water and shore, no garbage, few people, sun loungers.
Wild beaches
There are also places slightly touched by man. Here you can retire and have a good rest. Water and beaches are usually clear.
- Love Bay (Monkey) is a favorite beach of many vacationers. It is located between the villages of Rybachye and Malorechenskoye. The lagoon has a curved shape, and it was formed as a result of the action of a volcano. Get herenot so easy, but you can rent a boat and sail on the water.
- There is a wild beach east of the previously mentioned Cape Plaka.
- Chernovsky stones near the Professor's corner - divers often swim here.
The list doesn't end there. Often it is very good to relax in such wild beaches, which are located between any two villages.
Instead of a conclusion
We reviewed the most famous beaches of the city of Alushta. Central, Professor's Corner - the most favorite and easily accessible of them. More secluded in Alushta are the own beaches of numerous resort villages and hotels. But for lovers of wild recreation, there are even more deserted hard-to-reach places. The main thing is that everyone will be able to find the most suitable beach in Alushta according to their taste.
