There is an excellent Pebble Beach, Promenade, a lot of water entertainment, there is a dolphinarium, a water park, a crocodile farm, a dinosaur park, amusement parks and a lot more. The resort does not look abandoned, dirty and dilapidated, like some other resort towns and cities. What else you might like is its quiet and peaceful atmosphere, it is only necessary to move a little away from the beach and attractions.

In Arkhipo-Osipovka there are excellent pebble beaches, there is no sand on the shore at all. The water here is clean, but its transparency depends on the weather. If the water on the main beach does not suit you, then you can always walk or drive to the wild beaches or the Norilsk Nickel hotel, where it is noticeably more transparent.

And now a little about the beaches. And here are pebble, wild beaches-rocky, no sand. All of them are free, access to the shore is not limited anywhere. You will have to pay only for the rent of canopies and sun loungers and for entertainment at your request. Most tourists quietly rest for free on mattresses or special bedding brought with them, which are easy to buy here. The main beach here is one – central. Along it stretches a promenade with cafes and restaurants, pavilions selling drinks and fast food, entertainment. On the shore there are sun loungers for rent and canopies, free showers and changing cabins, and a huge amount of water Entertainment. The beach is well-groomed, clean, it is being robbed. Of the minuses, perhaps, only the fact that there is no sand for children's fun, and too strong a slope of the bottom, which again creates some difficulties only when resting with the youngest children.

This is also an acceptable time to go on vacation in Arkhipka, but not very comfortable, because in these months the weather can present unpleasant surprises in the form of rain and cold weather, and in May the sea is too cold for comfortable swimming. If we are to choose the best of these off-season months, then we would definitely recommend September.
