Rating of the best beaches in Crimea for families with children in 2020

The Crimean peninsula is one of the best places to relax with the whole family. Here tourists can enjoy the beautiful beaches, take numerous excursions and improve their health. However, when planning a vacation, the question often arises - exactly where to go, especially if traveling with children. Along the entire coast of Crimea, there are many cities that are ready to meet every tourist with amazing beaches, covered not only with pebbles, but also with sand.

Features of recreation on the Crimean coast

The Crimean coastline is especially popular with Russians who go on vacation with their children. It is washed by two seas - Black and Azov, and its dry climate does not require long acclimatization and is well tolerated by children of any age.

The entire Crimean coast is divided into regions that differ in climatic features and natural characteristics:

1. Western Crimea. The resorts of western Crimea will delight tourists with sandy, rocky beaches, flat landscape and steppe terrain.
2. South coast. This region is distinguished by the presence of a large number of subtropical plants and pebble beaches.
3. Eastern region. The eastern beaches are covered with sand and shell. This region will welcome tourists with beautiful landscapes and shallow bays, where the water temperature is great for children.

Features of the Crimean beaches

Most of the Crimean beaches are public. However, those located on the territory of private institutions are much better equipped for recreation.

According to the law, hotels and other recreational establishments cannot close the beaches that are located on their territory. Local residents have every right to relax in these areas and must pay only for the rental of beach equipment. In some hotels, the local population rests in a separate area so as not to disturb the tourists who stay there.

There are several closed beaches on the peninsula. These include those located on the territory of health centers and sanatoriums for children. Ordinary tourists and locals cannot visit this part of the coast, as only toast's clients rest there.

In addition to well-equipped beach areas, there are many wild beaches on the peninsula.

The Crimean peninsula will meet every tourist with many places for beach and other recreation. At the same time, it will not be difficult to navigate and choose a suitable place.

For how long to plan a vacation in Crimea with children

The first month of summer is not very popular with tourists. During this period, the sea water temperature can be low due to cold currents that cool the water.

But in the period from July to August, the peninsula seems to come to life, filling up with a large number of vacationers who come with children of different ages. The weather stabilizes, the air temperature reaches 30 ° C and above, and the water warms up to 24 ° C. However, as weather conditions improve, prices also increase.

September is ideal for families with younger children. During this period, prices become significantly lower, while the weather conditions remain the same. The sea water maintains a comfortable temperature, and the September sun shines softly and gives tourists its warmth. In addition, the beaches in September are no longer filled with a large number of tourists.

Southern coast of the Crimean peninsula

The cities of Yalta and Alushta are very popular among vacationers with children. These cities, as well as the entire southern coast, are characterized by mountainous terrain, the presence of a large number of stairs and steep climbs. The slopes to the sea are often rocky, which is not very comfortable.

The only exceptions are hotels located on the coast, right next to the sea. However, rest in such institutions will not be cheap.

There are no sandy beaches in the south of Crimea. There you can find only mixed and pebble beaches. The exception is those that were created artificially.

The swimming season starts in the last weeks of spring. It continues until mid-autumn. The climate in the southern part of the peninsula is mild and warm. In addition, the coast is protected from the wind.

Big Yalta will welcome tourists with a warm sea. The water temperature varies from +17 to +26 ° C, and the best months for rest are September and October. During the velvet season, the air temperature remains comfortable and the sea warm.

The sea in the south of Crimea is not as warm as in other regions, which is explained by its depth and the presence of a large number of cold currents. Many coniferous trees grow in these places, which saturate the air with useful substances and have a beneficial effect on human health.

Most of the southern beaches are part of the sanatorium and park complexes. These include the popular Alupkinsky, Forossky and Massandra beach.
