What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
You may be surprised, but in Goryachy Klyuch there is a beach holiday. Swim and relax here on the banks of the Psekups River and on the City Lake Krugloe. Both there and there are beaches, but the rest on them is very different:
-
On the Psekups river there are places for swimming and recreation in the area cockerel Rocks and on the other shore opposite it. There is no full-fledged beach here, vacationers are located right on the stones and the earthen shore in the shade of trees. The river itself is fleeting and shallow, it can even be crossed on foot. But there are places with great depth, in particular near the Rock cockerel. Here it is pleasant to lie down in the water and enjoy the natural massage of its streams. By the way, the water in the river is warm, and not at all cold, as in the mountain rivers of the Krasnodar Territory.
On the opposite bank from the Petushok rock, signs with the words "private territory, passage is prohibited" are installed along the shore. You can ignore these warnings and swim calmly, since there can be no private shores according to the laws of the Russian Federation.
-
On the City Lake Krugloye there is a full-fledged sandy beach with umbrellas and a lifeguard tower. It, of course, is not as developed and equipped as the Black Sea beaches, but in general you can comfortably sunbathe on the shore and swim. Take a litter or rug with you here, since sun loungers are not available for rent.

the beach holiday season lasts from June to August.
