In the Tuapse region, on the shore of the Dzhubga Bay, there is an amazingly beautiful place, which the Shapsugs (indigenous people) call the “Valley of the Winds”. This is the resort village of Dzhubga, hidden in the forests that have grown along the valley of the river of the same name. Young people and families like to stay here, wishing to enjoy peace away from noisy centers. Yes, and people traveling by car often arrange holidays here.

Dzhubga was founded in 1864. At first it was a village, then a village, later a village. In the sixties of the twentieth century, it received the status of a resort village.

The location of the village is very good: it is only 50 km from Tuapse, and a little more than a hundred from Krasnodar. Thanks to this neighborhood, many Kuban residents come here for the weekend to rest.

Dzhubga in summer

Beautiful subtropical climate, coniferous forests and the breeze that blows here even on the most gentle summer day, make this place unique and inimitable. Forest, mountain, river and sea have created a special humid climate here,mediterranean-like. You can swim from May to October, but the hottest month is August, when the average temperature is +260С.

One of the natural local attractions is Mount Hedgehog. From a distance, it resembles a large hedgehog that has come to the shore to get drunk. Also in Dzhubga there is one of the largest Caucasian tiled dolmens dating back to the 3rd millennium BC

From entertainment it should be noted the museum "Whims of the Forest" created and opened by a local craftsman. Guests are greeted by a large concrete dinosaur, and the museum itself has more than a thousand exhibits made of wood.

For an active pastime, you can choose jeeping, ATV rental and excursions. The village is located at the crossroads of three roads, so from here you can move even to Gelendzhik, even to waterfalls, even to Abkhazia.

Evening promenade

Cozy cafes and restaurants serving local cuisine during the day, filled with live music in the evening, and closer to the night they host discos.

In 2008, a water park was opened. More than 20 water rides, slides and pools await the guests of the resort. And at night, young people have fun at discos and foam parties. Vacationers should definitely visit it at least once during their vacation.

Dzhubga is not the noisiest place on the coast, but there is enough entertainment for everyone.

Accommodation

Here there is everything for those who came to rest. Dzhubga has a developed resort infrastructure. Boarding houses, he alth resorts and sanatoriumssurrounded by shady gardens and parks with rare relic trees.

There are very decent private hotels here, providing a high level of comfort at reasonable prices.

There is housing for those who choose to rest in the private sector. In Dzhubga, you can stay in guest houses, apartments or rent a room from the owners.

Resort rules apply here too: the closer to the sea, the worse the service and the higher the prices. In the high season, cheap accommodation is hard to find.

Dzhubga: vacation at sea

Sea activities here are the same as everywhere else: bananas, jet skis, pills. Once a day, a boat departs from the shore, carrying tourists to Inal Bay. In its center is a lake with blue clay. Healing baths are absolutely free, and vacationers run to wash off the rest of the healing mud into the sea, which is why the bottom in this place also turned blue.

The sea in the bay is gentle, and the long beach, stretching for 800 meters, is strewn with small pebbles interspersed with sand. The entrance is flat and gentle, which is very popular with vacationers with small children.
