“Almost every season we travel with friends in cars around Crimea. Who cares which is closer, in fact, but I love Yalta. I just like to walk along the long embankment, walk along the streets and admire the beautiful houses. A Botanical Garden, and the cable car!.. In general, Yalta is a civilization, a well-groomed southern town, and most of Crimea - villages and nature. One bad thing is that it’s very expensive to stay there for a long time.”

What is the best resort in Crimea?

Surprisingly, there can be many opinions about the same place. This also applies to Crimea. Some people like the resort for its developed infrastructure and abundance of entertainment, others want privacy in the lap of nature. Thus, lovers of silence and empty beaches are better off choosing small villages for their holidays, boarding houses remote from the city, which are found almost everywhere. And holidays in large resort towns during the season it “threatens” with crowds of tourists, not very clean beaches and high prices. But a mandatory program for everyone is excursions that will give a true idea of ​​this wonderful place. In Crimea they are represented in incredible numbers, from every corner of the peninsula.

In what places is the sea in Crimea considered the cleanest? The question is asked by vacationers who are going to Crimea on vacation. So, in Crimea there are at least 500 officially open beaches. But any holiday on such beaches is overshadowed by garbage lying everywhere, not entirely clean water, and many visiting tourists. And still I want to spend time on a clean beach. And where is the cleanest tmoer in Crimea?

Malorechenskoye - Rybachye.

These are small resort villages located between Sudak and Alushta. The water here is very clean, so tourists will be happy. They come here because there are very few vacationers here, and the beaches are wide and clean, and they have a beach area.

Compared to the South Coast, prices on these beaches are more reasonable. At the same time, there are no fewer attractions here than on the southern coast of the peninsula.

Don't forget about the Bay of Love. Couples in love come here happily to spend time in solitude. There are two ways to get to the Bay: by sailing to the shore from the sea or by traveling along the road from the village of Rybachye.

Tarkhankut

There is no doubt that this cape can rightfully be considered a leader in the purity of water and terrain. It is located in the area of ​​the Tarkhankutsky Nature Reserve, which means that there is no large populated area nearby, and therefore there are few tourists.

Tarkhankut is a place where sea water is the most frequent

People come here not only for the clear sea, but also to look at the colorful rocks of Maly and Bolshoy Atlesh. Many films were shot against their background, because they became real scenery.

On a note: These beaches also have negative aspects: deep water begins abruptly from the shore, and some beaches are generally difficult to get to, because there are steep cliffs.

They speak very highly of Tarkhankut, noting that here not only is the cleanest sea in Crimea, but you can also watch the sunset, watching the sun set on the horizon of the sea. If we compare this cape with simple beaches, then there are not so many retail outlets that sell souvenirs and street food. This is the great advantage of Cape Tarkhankut, because on it you can simply be alone with yourself and in your thoughts, and not listen to food being offered from all sides.

Nearby is locality. There is no infrastructure in the area, so when planning a trip to Tarkhankut, you must take food and water with you.

In Olenevka there is the famous estate of General Popov. It was presented to Prince Potemkin in the 18th century, and a house was immediately built for the owner of the estate. Today the estate has been restored and is located on the land of a boarding house.

The sights under water will also not leave anyone indifferent. The well-known “Alley of Leaders” is located here, namely an underwater museum, which includes monuments to artists and big politicians.

Alley of Leaders in Olenevka

Best time to relax in Olenevka

The best time to come to beaches with light sand is September. With the arrival of autumn, velvet season on Cape Tarkhankut it’s not like on a warm shore. This happens due to the lack of rocks, and they accumulate heat during the summer period. So with the beginning of autumn, there are almost no people here anymore, and for those who like to be in silence and collect their thoughts after a hard year, this is an ideal place. There is no better place for those who want peace. There is something to do on the cape for those who love entertainment and all kinds of excursions, so no tourist will definitely get bored at such a resort.

Koktebel

This beach is located between two villages - Koktebel and Ordzhonikidze. The sea water here is very clean and there are no sharp cliffs, and the depth gradually increases. There are pebbles all over the beach, there are none only in a small area, which is located not far from Ordzhonikidze.

Cape Chameleon hides the beach from strong gusts of wind, which earned it the name Quiet Bay. Although the waves are small, you need to be careful when swimming, because you can stumble upon a boulder in the water.

Cape Chameleon Crimea Koktebel

Those who love clean air and nature come to Quiet Bay, because there is no infrastructure here, all of it remains near Koktebel and Ordzhonikidze. Anyone can come here on their own, since cars cannot pass here.

New World

The village, which is called New World, can please you with clean water in the water area. The beach located there is quite small in size, on which there are pebbles and large boulders.

The Tsarsky Beach, the place where the imperial family vacationed, will not disappoint with its cleanliness. Only this beach is often closed, as the rocks can collapse, so not everyone relaxes here. However, this place is among the TOP of the best places with the cleanest and most transparent sea water on the Black Sea.

New World Tsarsky Beach

But the village itself no longer boasts of water, because many tourists come here. Their large number does not have a very good effect on the cleanliness of the water and the beach itself.

Balaclava

The beaches in Balaklava are located in a very interesting way - they are located outside the city. In order for vacationers to get to these beaches, they have to travel by regular boats.

Marble Beach in Balaclava

You can also take a boat to wonderful wild beaches. The infrastructure here is completely absent, and due to the impossibility of setting up a tent on the beach, they have to be installed very high on the mountain. Although this is a big inconvenience, you don’t notice it, thanks to the dizzying landscapes, wonderful views, the presence of clean water, and the small number of vacationers.

Cape Aya

On the peninsula to the beach " lost World"It's not that easy to get to. It is located a short distance from Cape Aya. Mostly those tourists who prefer a “wild” holiday come here.

It was given this name due to the fact that there are large rocks on it, because of which it is practically impossible for tourists to get here on foot. Those who have been here leave positive reviews. As a rule, vacationers are satisfied with the clean and warm water in this picturesque place.

In order to relax on the “Lost World” beach, you will have to travel here by boat or travel a long time along a mountain road.

In fact, clean water can be seen in all water areas that are not located close to resorts and big cities. If you are one of those vacationers who prefer to lie in the sun on their vacation with all the amenities, then it is advisable to relax on resort beaches, but if you want to relax in Crimea, then go where the sea is clean and you will have indelible impressions of the time spent!

From this article you will learn where the best beaches in Crimea are and how to get there. Crimea has long been famous for its soft climatic conditions and wonderful nature.
