Chelyabinsk is a beautiful big city, which is located in the hollow of the Ural Mountains. Being in Asia, but being Russian, this settlement absorbed two different cultures and traditions, beliefs, and customs associated with them. The breath of absolutely opposite worlds - western and eastern - is also reflected in architecture, tourist features, in the way of life of ordinary residents. Another feature of the city is its surroundings with water: there is the Shershnevskoye reservoir, the Miass River, lakes Pervoe, Smolino and Sineglazovo. Therefore, the city beaches of Chelyabinsk are found at almost every step.
Sunny Beach
This is one of the largest beaches in the city, located on Lake Smolino. Roomy and voluminous, it is cordially ready to receive 3 thousand vacationers.

Chelyabinsk can also boast of thematic areas. For example, recently a special recreation area for athletes was opened on the lake. It is located in the Leninsky district next to Vasilevskaya street. The beach does not have a name, but, judging by its direction, it is called "Sports". Special areas for fitness and aerobics, various sports games attract people who do not forget about their figure and he alth for a second.

City Beach
This is how the locals simply call the recreation area on the Shershnevsky reservoir. It is the most popular among Chelyabinsk residents, which is why it became "Urban" for them. The beach is free, which explains the bulk of vacationers on any, even a weekday. Of course, there are no sun loungers and water slides here, but the sandy beach and calm atmosphere attract lovers of summer holidays.
The territory is well-groomed, there are changing cabins. If you get bored of wallowing on the sand, you can hire a catamaran and ride on the water surface. In the recreation area there is a cafe where they cook delicious shish kebab, baked vegetables on the grill. Nearby is a forest belt, in the shade of which you can relax from the scorching summer sun.
Chelyabinsk beaches of this type are usually reserved for students and pensioners who want to save some money on entrance fees. It is not recommended for couples with children to go here, as the infrastructure is not intended for kids. Otherwise, the beach is in no way inferior to other swimming areas, so it remains a favorite vacation spot for many Chelyabinsk residents.
West Beach
So it was named because of its location on the western shore of the Shershnevsky reservoir. Some call it Caspian, emphasizing that the territory is similar tocoast of the sea of the same name. The beach is divided into two parts: a vip-zone, for people who do not regret paying 150 rubles for entry, and a regular sector, which costs half the price, but is no different from the first one.
If you come by car, there is a special parking lot for it. The presence of umbrellas, sun loungers and bathrooms also pleases visitors. There are also several water slides here, the choice is small, but it adds variety to the leisure of vacationers. The ways of entertainment are boats, catamarans, jet skis for rent, which cut through the water surface of the reservoir. By the way, the locals simply call it Hornets, as it is located near the village under the same name. It is easy to get here, as well as to other beaches of Chelyabinsk. Regular buses and fixed-route taxis run regularly and without delay.
White sail
Another recreation area that Hornets (Chelyabinsk) can boast of. The beach is paid, like most recreation areas in this city. They charge 120 rubles per person at the entrance. To park the car you arrived in, you will have to pay another 50 rubles on top. But the parking lot is constantly guarded: you don’t have to worry that the car was stolen or damaged by hooligans. For children and pensioners, there is a 50 percent discount on entry. You don't have to pay for preschoolers.
Cozy cafeterias on the beach offer visitors delicious meals and refreshing drinks. Small children can frolic on a special playground with swings and inflatable figures, and many water slides are open for schoolchildren. For the mostadults work jet skis, catamarans. There are special sun loungers and changing cabins.
Besides this, there are other beaches on the Hornets. For example, on Kaliningradskaya Street (stop "Energy College") or on Bolshoy Poselok Lane (stop "Red Bridge").
Rest on the lakes First and Sineglazovo
People also come here to spend a weekend or vacation. Recreation areas are equipped on the First Lake. Most of them belong to private owners, so the entrance is usually paid. Golden sand, cool waves and the presence of attractions attract people here from the eastern part of the city, since the lake is located next to this microdistrict. The beaches of Chelyabinsk on Lake First are always crowded with visitors lounging on sun loungers, drinking cocktails in bars and having fun on water slides.
Another lake, Sineglazovo, is not suitable for recreation at all. Wetlands, thickets of thick reeds on the banks do not contribute to swimming. But there are a lot of fish here. Therefore, if swimming and sunbathing do not attract you, and fishing is exactly what you need to relax your soul and body, Lake Sineglazovo is just for you. Wonderful nature and calm atmosphere will give strength and relieve fatigue. The lakes, like other water bodies of the city, are under constant control of the local sanitary and epidemiological station.
Careers
The beaches of Chelyabinsk are not only lakes and reservoirs. They are also located on the banks of quarries, where local residents do not disdain swimming. Nothing special inthis is not the case, since you don’t need to pay for entry: you come, choose a convenient place and sunbathe to your he alth.
One of the most popular is the Emerald quarry, which is located near the Shershnevsky reservoir. When it's a warm, fine day outside, the people, like flies, cling to its shores. The water here is clean, but the area is not equipped, so bathers jump into the water from the cliffs. Student - another Chelyabinsk quarry. The water in it is dirty, as a result, people are not quite willing to go to these places. The largest quarry in the city, Blue, instead attracts a full house of vacationers, as it is more or less suitable for those who want to bask in the sun.
Where to spend a weekend - on a quarry or a lake, a paid or free beach - everyone chooses for himself. The main thing is that the rest is not dangerous to he alth, and also brings pleasure and enjoyment from summer days.
