Hotels and beaches in Alushta

Beaches Of Alushta

The beaches of Alushta are described by many sources on the Internet as one of the best and most comfortable on the peninsula. But, in fact, everything is not so rosy, and it would be unfair to describe the charms of Alushta beaches, not mentioning their shortcomings at all. And there are plenty of them.

So beaches in Alushta there are both in the city itself and outside it (Bolshaya Alushta). Within the city limits, a well-equipped embankment runs along the entire coast, and the beach line itself stretches almost continuously for five kilometers to the south (to Lazurnoye Village), and four kilometers to the North. The most noisy and cheerful zone is located in the center, in the area of Gorky and Lenin streets.

Almost all beaches in Alushta are pebbly, there is not much sand. Where sand meets, it mostly lies a few meters from the water's edge. And in the very center of the city along the embankment, the beach is generally concrete. The entrance is almost everywhere convenient and gentle, garbage is removed.

There are no paid beaches, all of them were eliminated after 2014 as illegal. However, access to some areas is limited: these are medical and children's beaches. They are mostly off-center.

But you can forget about the beauty of the beaches in Alushta. All nine kilometers of the coast here are divided into short sections by concrete breakwaters, rusty fittings from The Times of the Soviet Union stick out everywhere. Views of Alushta beaches will not discourage only the most unassuming tourists, and pleasing to the eye mountain views are ghostly visible only tens of kilometers away.

Another feature of the local beaches is the shade, especially in the area of the professor's corner. After four or five hours, the sun hides behind the concrete embankment and the surrounding hills, and you can not sunbathe, it becomes cool.

Conventionally, the beaches in Alushta can be divided into three zones::

• Central Beach

  

  The city center has the worst beaches. They are very crowded, there is little space, the water is muddy, and there are no beautiful views. Along Lenin Street, and this is almost the very center, the beach is generally concrete, and people manage to swim and sunbathe here right on the concrete. At the same time, it is the most developed place, everything is at hand: shops, cafes, parks, entertainment, sale of excursions. Of course, here is the largest concentration of water Entertainment.

• Professor's corner

  

  To the south of the center (towards Yalta) stretch the beaches of the professor's corner. There are much fewer people here, in places there are sandy beaches, but they are also divided into fifty-meter sections by concrete breakwaters. Some areas are fenced and access to them is closed permanently, some access is allowed only on sanitary books. The infrastructure here is also well developed, a lot of entertainment and a pleasant promenade. Behind the street, the Komsomol infrastructure ends abruptly, and then there are rather deaf places.

  Following the professor's corner, the beaches, almost without interruption, pass into the village of Lazurnoye.

• Northern beaches

  To the north-east of the city (towards Sudak) the infrastructure ends abruptly, the embankment disappears. The beaches here are much more deserted, rarely cleaned, around wasteland. Nature appears around, but it does not add much beauty to the species. It is worth going here if you want to retire.

Where to choose housing in Alushta

The most developed place is the center. Here all the entertainment, transport, shops, travel agencies, parks, clubs. There is no beach, but you can walk along the embankment to walk in the area of the professor's corner. Therefore, in the center, by and large, it makes no sense to settle close to the beach, especially since housing and hotels near the shore are much more expensive.

A great option for accommodation is a professor's corner. This is a very quiet, peaceful area, very pleasant for families and seniors who do not need the entertainment and bustle of the center. But do not think that there are "backwoods". Away from the shore in residential areas it is really quiet, but along the beach there is a developed tourist promenade with appropriate infrastructure and entertainment. At the same time, if you wish, you can take a trolleybus, taxi or walk along the embankment to the center.
