Beaches and areas in Lazarevskoye and where to stay

Review of beaches in Lazarevskoye

The length of the coast in the village of Lazarevskoye is about 7 kilometers, but if we talk about the central part of the resort, the beach here stretches for a little over three kilometers. It is almost continuous, only in places interrupted by short sections of technical zones, marinas and places with water Entertainment, where swimming is prohibited. On the shore only pebbles, no sand. The depth is gained quickly, and already 5 meters from the shore the water is on the shoulders of even adults. But there are separate areas adapted for bathing children. They are marked with signs and equipped with fences with floats in the water.

But, due to the sharp depth and the absence of concrete breakwaters, there are rarely strong waves, and if there are, they are formed near the shore. But it is worth going or swimming a little further, as the water is calmer. By the way, the water here is clean and transparent compared to many other Sochi Resorts, since there is no sand and silt on the bottom, and there are no mountain rivers flowing into the sea.

All three kilometers of the coast in Lazarevskoye are divided into beach areas with their own names in accordance with belonging to a particular hotel or cafe. There are also comfort zones with their own names. So, it is customary to distinguish at least the following beaches: Dolphin, Svirsky, turquoise and quiet don, starfish, Grenada Boarding House, Central Municipal Lazurnoe, Prometheus, Victoria, Vzmorye, Shchastye, Salyut.

There are also beaches outside the village of Lazarevskoye, including wild and nudist: Laguna, lazarevskoye sanatorium, Odyssey sanatorium, Kolos rest home.

Another thing is if you choose a boarding house or sanatorium with its own beach, in which on the shore you will be provided with the service of the institution, for example, free sun beds and umbrellas, toilet, shower, massage, medical supervision and other services. But even in this case, you should choose accommodation rather according to the living conditions, Service and quality of the rooms of the sanatorium itself, and not along the beach. So it is better to read reviews before booking than a description of the beaches of the sanatorium. And, of course, take into account the general location of the sanatorium, i.e. how far it is from the center of the resort and the exit to the beach.

You can choose and book sanatoriums and boarding houses in Sochi and Lazarevskoye on these sites:

• Tour Operator "Dolphin"
• Putevka.com
• Sanatory.ru

✔ Advantages of beaches in Lazarevskoye

• There are no concrete breakwaters and old concrete structures, so the beach looks quite nice.
• Lots of entertainment, well-developed infrastructure.
• There are zones of increased comfort with a conditionally paid entrance.
• There are no paid and illegally restricted beaches.
• Clear clear water without suspension of sand and silt.

❌ Cons of beaches in Lazarevskoye

• Along the coast there is a railway, which makes it difficult to access the beaches.
• In the places of access to the beaches through rare passages under the railway, a lot of vacationers are concentrated.
• The beaches are only pebbly, there are no sandy areas at all for those who like to relax on the sand and children.
• The steep slope of the bottom and the great depth are already a few meters from the shore.

It is necessary to take into account one unpleasant feature that may not appeal to all vacationers: a railway passes through the entire resort along the coast, and to the north of the railway station it is laid very close, cutting off the beach from the resort area. The passage to the beaches is carried out through underground or aboveground passages, and there are not so many such passages. This does not create great difficulties, but if you do not like it when trains and trains rumble over your head while relaxing on the beach, and you have to go far from your place of residence to go to the beach, then this can be a problem. Fortunately, south of the Lazarevskaya railway station, the railway departs further from the coast, and between the sea and the "piece of iron" there are even options for accommodation on the first line.

Infrastructure, services and entertainment

The most developed part of the beach is located in the Lazarevsky park of culture and recreation along the pedestrian embankment (embankment on the map). It is here that the most equipped and comfortable recreation areas are offered, beach entertainment, sun beds and umbrellas for rent, beach bars and restaurants are open. At the same time, this is the most crowded area, respectively, a free place to relax in the peak season is not so easy to find.

If you move further along the coast, the infrastructure and entertainment do not disappear, but they become noticeably less, as well as the number of tourists. So if you do not want to fight for a place on the beach, just move a little to the side along the shore.

Price of services and entertainment

• Access to the beaches is free.
• Rent of sun loungers-200 rubles / day.
• Toilet and shower - from 30 rubles.
• Draft alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages - from 60 rubles/0.5 liters.
• Riding on the "banana" - 300 rubles/person.
• Rent a catamaran-800 rubles / hour.
• Rent a jet ski-2000 rubles/10 minutes.
• Skydiving-2000 rubles.
• Rent sup-surf-500 rubles / hour.

You can pay for services and entertainment in cash and by transfer of SBER online, bank cards are accepted in rare places.

Sand or pebbles

The beaches in Lazarevskoye are exclusively pebbly, there is no sand at all. In some guidebooks you can find a mention that there are sandy and mixed Sandy-Pebble areas, but perhaps this is unreliable or outdated information, or we are talking about the remains of imported sand. As of 2021, there is not any sandy beachesLazarevskoye. Accordingly, for swimming and walking along the shore, it is best to have special beach shoes aquashusa, which can be bought at local tourist markets from 300 rubles per pair.

Paid and free beaches

All beaches in Lazarevskoye are free, access is not limited anywhere. There are separate equipped areas of increased comfort with its own territory, bar, cafe and entertainment, access to which is conditionally paid. For example, on the beach "Shchastye" you need to pay a deposit of 1000 rubles (actually the entrance fee), which is used to buy drinks and food in the beach cafe and bar, while you can freely use the sun beds and recreation areas on this territory. All this happens peacefully and civilized, and rarely causes inconvenience to other vacationers, since there is no ban on passing and being in high-comfort zones for them.

Hotels and accommodation in Lazarevskoye, where to stay

There are plenty of accommodation options in Lazarevskoye, but in the peak season in the summer almost everything is filled, prices rise significantly. If you need comfortable accommodation at a good price, it is better to plan your vacation in advance and book it a month or two in advance. The best hotels and sanatoriums make sense to book in general in winter.

Accommodation categories are presented here very widely. There are sanatoriums and boarding houses with treatment and their own territory, hotels and inexpensive mini-hotels, many options for private housing and even whole houses for rent. There are hotels and sanatoriums with a conditionally private beach, when sun beds, umbrellas, etc.are provided free of charge on the shore for guests, but at the same time the access of vacationers from the side to this beach is not limited by law. For family accommodation, by far the most profitable and convenient option would be to rent housing for a short time with a kitchen, bathroom and other household amenities, and there are plenty of such options.

And now as for choosing a place to place. As we mentioned above, it makes little sense to pay much attention to the proximity to specific beaches in Lazarevskoye, unless you are choosing a sanatorium or hotel with a conditionally private beach. It is more important to pay attention to the possibility of going ashore from the place of residence in the shortest way.

The fact is that the railway along the coast cuts off the beaches from residential areas and hotels, especially in the northern part of the resort (towards Tuapse). You can go to the beaches there only through equipped crossings over the railway, and they are (transitions) at a respectful distance from each other. Hotels and accommodation in this part of the resort are a little cheaper, but when searching and booking, read in the reviews how far you have to go to the beach.

The situation is much better south of Lazarevskaya railway station (towards the center of Sochi). There the railway departs further from the coast and you can even settle on the first line. However, if you settle here behind the railway and Lazarev street, you will again have to overcome this obstacle, besides, you will have to go even further to the beach.
