Koktebel Beaches

All beaches in Koktebel are free. In the city limits of Koktebel is the main city Pebble Beach. It is the most crowded and the most equipped, with a lot of entertainment. The embankment also passes here. On the outskirts of the City Beach is a nudist beach.

Three kilometers to the East is a wonderful sandy beach in a quiet bay. But there is no infrastructure and amenities. This is a place for a "wild" holiday.

On the other side is the Karadag nature reserve. In this area, among the rocks, there are several isolated beaches that can only be reached by boat.

• The main city beach of Koktebel

  

  The main city beach has a length of two kilometers. It is located in a bay protected on one side by Cape Chameleon and on the other by the rocks of the Karadag nature reserve (City Beach on the map). The water here is clean and clear, especially in calm weather. The whole coast is pebbly, under water sandy bottom.

  The infrastructure here is well developed. There are toilets, changing rooms, showers, you can rent a chaise longue and umbrella, or relax on your mattress or towel. Of course, at every turn there are cafes and stalls with food and drinks. But there are also a lot of vacationers in the season, and to find a place, you need to come early. There is a lot of entertainment, including water: catamarans, bananas, water skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing, etc.

  The City Beach used to be divided into small areas belonging to various boarding houses and sanatoriums, which limited access to them or charged a fee. Today, all beaches are free, the conditions are the same everywhere, so this division is irrelevant.

  Along the southwestern part of the beach, this side is closer to Karadag, there is a promenade. There are many cafes, excursions are sold, and in general this is the most hangout place, including for evening walks.

  Prices for services and entertainment on the main beach of Koktebel:

  • Rent a chaise longue-100 rubles
  • Carport rental-200 rubles
  • Toilet-15 rubles
  • Water bike-400 rubles
  • Kayak, kayak-300 rubles

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Nudist beach

  

  In the East, the City Beach ends with a nudist beach (nudist beach on the map). It is not separated from the rest of the part, and therefore you get here completely unnoticed when walking along the main one. It is practically no different, except for the presence of naked bodies. Anyone can get on it and swim, including in a swimsuit.

  If you go even further behind the Junge Hill, just outside the outskirts of the city is the "beach of naturals". The place is completely not equipped, and not the most pleasant for swimming, but hidden from the eyes of crowds of onlookers.

• Dead Bay

  

  Beyond the nudist beaches towards the quiet bay begins the coast of the dead Bay (dead Bay on the map). This is a completely unsuitable, and even dangerous place for swimming. The unpleasant smell in this place comes from rotting algae and debris. It is said that here on the shore there is a mineral-rich healing clay from volcanic ash, but smearing here even with such Healing Clay is not the most pleasant pleasure.

• Quiet bay

  

  The quiet bay is located approximately in the middle between Koktebel and the village of Ordzhonikidze (Quiet bay on the map). The total length of the beaches here is about one and a half kilometers.

  In our opinion, this is the best place for swimming and relaxing in Koktebel. There is fine pleasant sand, clean water, in all directions there is a picturesque view of the mountains and hills. On the western side, the Bay ends with Cape Chameleon, which stands out deep in the sea and protects the beach well from waves, which, by the way, is a tourist attraction. On the other side is another Promontory. Thanks to this, the water here is much calmer, the waves are weaker, that's why the Bay is called "Quiet". Another plus of the place is a small number of vacationers.

  There is no infrastructure on the beach of a quiet bay, only in the season a cafe-tent opens. Usually the beach is visited in the form of a day rest by tourists staying in Koktebel. But there are also those who stay here for a long time in a tent city with all the ensuing difficulties: lack of water and electricity, toilets in the field, etc.another minus is very little shade, so it's better to come with your beach umbrella. Nevertheless, all these difficulties do not frighten lovers of wild recreation, and the tent city is never empty in the season.

  Visiting the quiet bay is completely free: there is no charge for access, even if you arrive by car. The use of services in the campsite is paid: electricity-30 rubles, internet-50 rubles, shower-100 rubles.

  How to get there: the quiet bay is three kilometers from the center of Koktebel (Quiet bay on the map). Many paths and a dirt road lead to the Bay, and walking can be reached in 30-60 minutes. It is better to go not along the shore, but through the fields on top, or along the primer. If you go along the shore, you will have to climb a steep crumbling cliff. By car you can get there without problems on a dirt road.

  From the intersection of paratroopers Street and Lenin Street (near the bus station) in the filling season, a private minibus to the beach is sent, the cost is 80 rubles, 10 minutes on the way.

  Attention! In the 2016 season, the main passage to the quiet bay was limited by a barrier, a checkpoint was installed, paid parking was equipped, and the territory of the quiet bay itself was designated as "landscape park". Now you can only drive along the trails through the mountains on off-road vehicles, but administrative protocols are drawn up for drivers who break into a limited area. Therefore, if you come here by car, you will have to leave it in a paid parking lot in the city or in front of the barrier, and then walk to the beach. The distance from the checkpoint to the beach is about one and a half kilometers.
