Beach holidays at the resorts of the Azov coast are suitable for everyone who prefers shallow waters and lightly congested beaches. The choice of resorts on the Sea of ​​Azov is small; most of them are concentrated in the Krasnodar Territory. Below we will look at the most popular destinations and find out where the best beaches and hotels are.

Kuchugury

An ideal place for a calm and measured holiday. With family picnics at the edge of the sea and harmony with nature itself. There are spacious, long beaches with soft sand. There isn't a lot of noisy entertainment. And you can breathe very freely and easily.

The markets offer delicious inexpensive fruits, fresh seafood and cheeses. Very close to the famous mud volcano called Tizdar.

You can take therapeutic mud baths here completely free of charge. They have a beneficial effect on diseases of the compounds. They also significantly improve the condition of the skin.

The Iskra complex has mineral thermal pools. You can go there for a swim. There is also Lotus Valley nearby. Amazing magical place.

Some beaches are wild, some are developed. Here you can find trampolines with slides and other attractions for children. As well as water activities for adults.

There will never be a dull moment in Kuchugury. This is a real place of power and energy of the sea element.

Not forgetting about children: entertainment for the youngest tourists

The territory of Azov is simply ideal for a holiday with children. Shallow sea with a flat bottom, golden sand for playing, healing properties of mud. But this certainly won’t surprise modern children. They need spectacle and entertainment. Well, we think that the Azov resort will cope with this too. Fortunately, the territory offers a variety of leisure options for children.

Aquapark

Entertainment that even adult children will enjoy. Many cities, both in the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region, offer such water procedures. But the largest, and even extreme, is the slide in St. Golubitskaya. The main advantage of this water park is the absence of a queue and the relatively low cost of the entrance ticket.

Oceanarium

The world of wild underwater inhabitants may not amuse or delight a child, but it also provides an educational program. A professional guide will do everything possible to ensure that the child will definitely like this lesson. But in which city the most famous aquarium operates, it is the territory of Yeisk “Shark Reef”.

Zoo

You can amuse your son or daughter by taking him to the zoo in St. Golubitskaya. Here you can not only meet amazing animals, but also enjoy a luxurious view and have a photo session that will keep your memories.

Golubitskaya

This area is loved by families with children. There is everything for a comfortable stay. Wonderful hotels and bases on the seashore. Lots of cozy cafes and restaurants.

The climate is very mild, many sunny days. The entrance to the sea is smooth and gentle. The water is like fresh milk.

On the beaches you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas. And evening life is very rich and interesting. You can have a great time at exciting parties in new clubs.

It won't be possible without health procedures either. You can take rejuvenating, tonic baths in a natural mud lake. After which it will be very pleasant to wash off the dirt with warm sea water. And take sunbathing.

The village has a modern water park “Sea Reef”. With cool slides for children and adults.

Features of the holiday

The Sea of ​​Azov is characterized by a pronounced seasonality of temperatures, when average monthly temperatures in winter reach 0 C, and in the summer months they rise to + 25 C. The high tourist season lasts from May to September, the warmest and sunniest month (with precipitation up to 22 mm) is August, with air temperatures up to + 29 C and water temperatures up to + 26 C.

The rainy season begins in November and lasts almost the entire winter, reaching its maximum (up to 45 mm of precipitation per month) in January. It is also the coldest month, with average air temperatures of + 1 C and water + 3 C.

Since the Azov Sea is shallow and its depth usually does not exceed 13 m, it warms up quite quickly, but also cools down faster. Therefore, the beach season here lasts no more than 3 months - from June to early September.

Holidays on the Sea of ​​Azov provide many options for accommodation, and when choosing where to stay, you should pay special attention to food. Seaside resorts offer quite affordable holiday options with meals. Thus, the cost of a room in a sanatorium or boarding house, including 3 meals a day, starts from 1200 rubles. per person.

You can also eat economically in one of the many catering establishments designed for different income levels.

The most expensive restaurants are:

1. Food Court - Taganrog, st. Nekrasova, 75. Average bill – from 7 thousand rubles.
2. Seventh Heaven - Yeysk, st. Yasenkskaya, 2/1. Check – from 12 thousand rubles.
3. Diaghilev – Azov, st. Dzerzhinsky, 6. Check – from 1 thousand rubles.

Lunch in the canteen will cost an average of 200 rubles, in a cafe - from 300 rubles. There are two states adjacent to the sea, so the currencies at the resorts are different: in Russia – rubles, and in Ukraine – hryvnias. The population of the Azov region is friendly to tourists, since the tourism industry is one of the main sources of income, and the ethnic composition includes over 15 nationalities.

The crime level in the resorts of the Azov Sea does not go beyond the norm, and involves mainly petty crimes (thefts), which occur most often during the high tourist season.

You can get to the Russian resorts of the Azov Sea from Moscow:

• By plane to Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar or Anapa in 2 hours, tickets cost from 2.4 thousand rubles. Then by bus (tickets cost on average 200 rubles and more, depending on the distance).

• By bus : to Yeysk in 18 hours, ticket price - from 2.3 thousand rubles; to Taganrog in 17 hours, cost – from 1.5 thousand rubles; to the village of Golubitskaya in 19 hours, price - from 3.1 thousand rubles.
• By train : to Yeysk in almost 30 hours at a price of 3 thousand rubles; to Taganrog in 18 hours, cost - from 3.2 thousand rubles.
• By car, the distance from Moscow to Taganrog will be 1.14 thousand km, and to Yeisk – 1.26 thousand km. The trip takes on average 17 hours.

Due to the current political situation and emerging difficulties with crossing the Russian-Ukrainian border, tourists from Russia have become less likely to visit the previously popular resorts of the Azov Sea in Ukraine. Therefore, the main income for the Ukrainian Azov region comes from domestic tourism.

Citizens of Ukraine can get to the resort towns and villages of the Azov Sea by plane, train or bus. The nearest airport is in Mariupol.

Seven beams

A stunning resort town in Taganrog Bay. If you prefer wild beaches and picturesque nature to comfort, then this option is for you.

Here you will not find luxury hotels and guest houses. Tourists rent accommodation from locals or stay in tents.

But the beaches here are simply magical. The smooth descent into the water is ideal even for little ones. The coast is absolutely clean. And it is covered with soft golden sand with quartz impurities.

This place will be highly appreciated by fishermen. You can fish directly in the bay or on the surrounding estuaries. You won't be left here without a catch.

Advantages of holidays at Russian resorts

Not only foreign shores, but also their own resort areas can surprise and delight. There are a number of advantages that make the Sea of ​​Azov more profitable, namely:

• It's worth starting with the price. It is several times cheaper than abroad.
• The waters warm up very well due to their shallow depth. Thanks to this, the beach season can open as early as May.
• Transport accessibility. Train, car, bus, plane - getting to your destination is easy and simple. You just need to choose a comfortable ride that will suit your pricing policy.
• Full understanding due to the absence of a language barrier. Anyone who has vacationed abroad knows how difficult and unpleasant it is when people don’t understand you. Then the whole vacation will be ruined. But this will not happen in our native lands.
• Fascinating nature. Just imagine - sand spits, estuaries, endless steppes, from which a magnificent view of the sea opens.
• It is unlikely that resorts in Italy, Bulgaria or Greece can “boast” of peace and quiet, but ours offer variety. There are options for both active, eventful recreation among people, and quiet places to relax the soul.

Shchelkino

A favorite resort among travelers on the Crimean coast of the Sea of ​​Azov. The service here is far from European. But the place is very colorful and soulful.

There is always room available in hotels and apartments. There are restaurants and nice cafes. There is a good market with delicious local products and fruits.

A special attraction is the Kazantip Nature Reserve. This is a unique place with an ancient Greek settlement and rare species of flora and fauna. Be sure to take a tour if you visit these places.

The beach has all the amenities. Showers, toilets, changing cabins. Canopies and sunbeds can be rented. There is a trampoline and small slides for children.

We recommend swimming on the central beach or in Tatarskaya Bay. The descent into the water is very smooth and safe.

Resort Primorsko-Akhtarsk

The advantages of the healing resort are its healing mud and hydrogen sulfide waters. People come here to relax and improve their health, rejuvenate the body and simply for preventive purposes. Primorsko-Akhtarsk is famous for its clean air and warm sea, in which you can swim starting in May. In August, the water here heats up to +30° C. It has a lot of iodine, and the depth is shallow.

The only thing that can be called a disadvantage is the increased humidity. Read about moving to Primorsko-Akhtarsk for permanent residence on our website.

Table: food prices

Taganrog

An excellent option for a budget holiday. Quite a comfortable and developed city for relaxation.

If you want a more secluded holiday, you can go to the surrounding wild beaches. They are beautiful.

Azov Sea and its resorts

I’ll immediately make a reservation that in this article we considered only those resorts of the Azov Sea that are located on Russian territory. You can read about Ukrainian resorts on the Azov Sea in this article.

Stanitsa Golubitskaya

A popular holiday destination on the Taman Peninsula. A small village (population just over four thousand) is surrounded by greenery and vineyards and is located 8 km from the city of Temryuk (the nearest railway station is also located here), 55 km from Anapa (the nearest airport is here) and 149 km from Krasnodar.

Sandy, mixed with small shell rock, enriched with healthy minerals, the beaches of the village of Golubitskaya are ideal for families with children. Warm and shallow sea, sandy and flat bottom.

There are many natural attractions on the territory of the village. For example, Golubitskoe Lake is a large but shallow lake with healing mud, convenient for taking mud baths not only for adults, but also for children. Or the amazingly beautiful estuaries, overgrown with lotuses and presenting an unforgettable sight during the flowering period.

For entertainment, there is the largest water park on the Azov Sea, on the territory of which there is a guest house, which gives the right to free admission to all entertainment events on the territory of the water park and the water park itself, as well as the Dolphinarium, where funny performances are held twice a day.

In Taman, you can also visit the ethnographic complex “Ataman” - an open-air museum dedicated to the life and everyday life of the Cossacks, or go to an ostrich farm in Abinsk, visit the Tizdar mud volcano, take a horseback ride or a boat ride along the Kuban River.

There is also the opportunity to fly on a light aircraft of the Sky Aero Club and visit a sailing school, windsurfing club or paragliding center.

During the season, many residents rent out their homes to vacationers. Right on the seashore next to the beach you can rent, if desired, a guest house, a room in a boarding house or at a recreation center.

Domik Travel is a direct booking service for holiday destinations in Russia. Simple search, no extra charges. Promotions of accommodation properties are always reflected. All questions can be asked to a consultant by phone. He will also help resolve all problems and misunderstandings with the sanatorium or hotel, if any arise.

Stanitsa Dolzhanskaya (Dolzhanka)

The village of Dolzhanskaya is located on the Dolgaya spit, 40 km from the city of Yeisk (the nearest airport is also located here). The nearest railway station from the village is Starominskaya, and Dolzhanka itself has its own pier.

A calm, quiet holiday without much entertainment in this small seaside village, which is a nature reserve with unique nature, is also good for a family holiday.

The sandy and shell-sloping beach is located on the Dolgaya spit, which extends 11 kilometers into the sea and separates the Sea of ​​Azov and the Taganrog Bay.

Pine forest, steppe grasses and flowers enhance the healing effect of the local healing mud and shell beaches rich in minerals. And all this overall creates a healing and very beneficial environment for the human body.

For accommodation there are several guest houses and boarding houses and a hospitable private sector.

For entertainment, in addition to relaxing on the beach, enterprising locals offer horseback riding excursions around the area and teaching horse riding lessons. These places are also very popular among windsurfers.

The village of Kuchugury on the Sea of ​​Azov

Yes, yes, this is the same resort village on the shores of the Azov Sea, famous thanks to the popular comedy series. Honestly, I didn’t know that he existed in reality . Kuchugury is located 80 kilometers from Anapa, 40 kilometers from the city of Temryuk, 25 kilometers from Kerch.

In Kuchugury there is a sandy beach with fine golden sand and small shell rocks and the Azov Sea is always clean and shallow in this place. The water is warm and warms up well. Just right for small children.

The convenient location of the village allows you to reach the beach on foot from any point in no more than 15 minutes.

There is not much entertainment, but on the beach you can ride a banana boat or fly a parachute. Plus, a quiet place, relaxation, fresh fruit and freshly caught fish - what else is needed for a relaxing holiday with children. Not far from the sea in the center of the village there is an amusement park for children “Emelya”.

Housing is mainly in the private sector. But there are mini-hotels, small hotels, guest houses. From the names I remember the guest house “Svaty”. Prices, according to reviews, are quite affordable.

Peresyp village

A small village, pleasant for family holidays, is also located in the Temryuk area. Approximately 15 kilometers from the village of Kuchugury and 7 kilometers from the village of Golubitskaya. This is another great place to relax with children. Sandy and shell beaches on the Peresyp spit, shallow waters, warm and clear sea. Very close is the Lotus Valley, the healing lake “Blue Balka”.

Resort Primorsko-Akhtarsk

Another resort in the Krasnodar Territory on the shores of the Azov Sea. The city is located 150 kilometers from Krasnodar (there is an airport here, and there is also an airport in the city of Yeysk). In Primorsko-Akhtarsk itself there is a bus station, a railway station, and a pier.

Several days were spent choosing a vacation spot. And, although I really liked the resorts of the Temryuk region, I had to postpone these options for now, because they are located further away. And we don’t want the car trip to be very long and tiring. The closest resort of the Azov Sea to us was the city of Yeisk.

Dolzhanskaya Spit

This is a unique natural monument. The spit is popular because it is washed by the sea on both sides. It is chosen by lovers of wild outdoor recreation.

You will not find any special amenities or comfort here. But you are guaranteed stunning sunsets and fresh sea space.

A magical place exclusively for romantics and lovers of gatherings around the fire. Traveling in cars with tents.

For those who prefer a more civilized holiday, there are beaches of the Cossack Coast nearby.

Weather conditions - when to arrive?

Throughout the summer, the weather on the Azov coast is predominantly warm. The average temperature remains between +25 and 32 degrees. Precipitation does not occur very often.

Experts recommend that parents who have a child choose mid-June or the end of August for their vacation. At this time, the air temperature is not yet so hot, but the sea has already warmed up. But for those who want to show off their tan, it is best to come to the sea in July and early August.

The velvet season is characterized by mild temperatures. And although it decreases by 3-5 degrees, it still remains optimal for relaxation. Even during stormy periods it does not fall below +23 degrees.

Peresyp

A clean, well-maintained resort town aimed at tourists. Rest here is measured, calm and safe.

Delicious fruits and vegetables are always on sale in large quantities. The beach is large and comfortable.

There are no discos or night bars with karaoke. If you want a quiet holiday, without noisy crowds of tourists and night festivities, then this is a great option.

Youth recreation with maximum impact - 5 original outdoor activities

Young boys and girls will also not have to be sad on the Sea of ​​Azov. There is no need to force yourself to lie on the beach all day or sit in your room. You can take advantage of outdoor activities offered by many companies.

The Sea of ​​Azov with attractive photos of numerous beaches and promenades calls and attracts many Russians. Among them is the Taman Peninsula, where there is an unusually interesting place - Poseidon Beach. It represents a tourist complex with a variety of entertainment and recreation.

The area of ​​long sandy beaches is landscaped and well-groomed, some of them are private. One of them attracts with the unusualness of the ancient Greek style, with the appropriately successful name “Poseidon”. It is located near the famous village of Peresyp and deservedly ranks among the best beaches of the Azov Sea in Russia.

There is a huge selection of secluded places away from civilization on this exotic island. And, most importantly, here nature made a special effort and formed the stone giants into such incredibly original sculptures, bizarre arched vaults of rocks, mysterious, mysterious grottoes that human imagination is clearly inferior.
