Vacationers especially praise the beaches in Vityazevo - after all, the strip of sand on the beach is 160 m wide, and in some places reaches as much as 200 m and goes somewhere far beyond the horizon. It is for this reason that all guidebooks mention that in the vicinity of the village there are the widest beaches in the Russian Federation. This is a huge strip of sand that stretches across the entire resort town. The beaches in Vityazevo are interconnected and belong to a specific hotel or recreation center, the owners of which carefully remove garbage from a specific area and ensure that the shore is maintained in perfect condition.
Vityazevo beaches - a breath of fresh air on the Black Sea coast
Today we will talk about the beaches of the small village of Vityazevo near Anapa, which, although considered part of the city, is in fact a completely separate place. Therefore, there is no such crowding of vacationers here as on the beaches in Anapa, although, if you wish, you can easily get to the center.
Despite the small area of the village, there are dozens of hotels, inns and guest houses, there are even several campsites, and it is impossible to count the offers in the private sector. Almost every hotel offers, for families, children's playgrounds, swimming pools, animators and other pleasures. But, quite naturally, guests are most interested in the sea, so let’s move on to the story about the beaches of Vityazevo.
Despite so many hotels, sanatoriums and holiday homes, only a few of them have their own beaches. These are the Crown Hotel, the Felici Guest House and the design hotel (that’s what it’s called) RED ROSE. All these beaches are equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas and everything else that is required from a normal beach. Pioneer camps and some sanatoriums have their own beaches, but anyone can get onto their territory.
So for vacationers who stay in any other place, there will be no problems with trips to the sea, since almost all hotels and inns are located on the first or second lines.
Savage Edge Review
Many fans of kitesurfing and windsurfing since the 90s. they come here because here no one will stop them from doing their favorite extreme sports. Those who like to sunbathe naked have never been far behind them. They say that nudist recreation is really available here. At the same time, cozy Vityazevo continues to remain a food and guest base. The wild beach is discovered only when leaving this town.
Since the 2000s, the sandy strip has been fragmented into an equipped part (the Tortuga bar beach) and several locations that have remained pristine. The one that abuts the village of Blagoveshchenskaya is used by informals who come from all over the Russian Federation.
As for the last of these fragments, we are talking about a space 8.5 km long (from the end of the Tortuga entertainment area to the first Blagoveshchenskaya campsite). The width of the shore is no less than 75 m, and in some places it reaches up to 100 m. And then there is dryish soil with creeping bushes and small trees, reeds and the water space of the Vityazevsky estuary.
There is a lot of shell rock, but it is found only at the edge. Everything else is light golden sand of good quality. Sand dunes in some places can reach 15 m, but their average height is five times less. The approach is smooth and uniform. There are almost no holes at the bottom. The water is clear, but still not the same as in pebble and rocky baths.
What are the beaches in Vityazevo?
The beaches of Vityazevo begin from the beach of the children's boarding house "Pearl of Russia". I must say that the beach is poorly equipped, so there are not many people here. But this also has its own charm - the water is cleaner than on the central beach.
Then there are the beaches, which belong to various sanatoriums, boarding houses and hotels. The beaches are very comfortable, there are cafes and changing rooms, attractions and rental points.
Next is the children's sanatorium "Ogonyok" with its own beach. Teenagers will especially like it here, as there are many sports fields. There is also a first aid station and a rescue service with a public address system. The bottom here is especially flat, so families with small children like to come here.
And then, one after another, the beaches “Vita”, “Dune” and “Central”. The last one is the most popular. Naturally, it is equipped with everything necessary, and, in addition, there is even a paid beach for children, where you can leave your child under the supervision of teachers. There are jet skis and water slides, trampolines, and a lot of other things. But, because of its popularity, “Central” is also the most crowded, there are people there either in the morning or in the evening. However, for those who like solitude, there is also an option - behind the “Central” there is a “wild” beach. There are practically no amenities here, but there are almost no other vacationers.
The total length of Vityazevo beaches is more than 15 kilometers, and the width is from 80 to 200 meters, however, the 10-20 meters closest to the sea are usually occupied. The sand here, by the way, is considered healing, as it consists of feldspars and quartz.
In general, we can say that anyone who comes to relax in this place will be able to find exactly the beach that he or she will like.
Let's take a closer look at beach holidays in Vityazevo, taking a closer look at the main places for beach tourism. Considering that Vityazevo as a resort has been developing not so long ago, there are as many comfortable beaches here as there are wild ones. Therefore, a variety of tourists will find something to suit their taste on this coast.
City beaches
Central Beach
This city beach is located in the very center of the village. Walking along one of the main streets, Chernomorskaya, you will quickly find the entrance to the central beach. This is one of the most popular places for tourists and local residents, so the beach is crowded at any time of the day.
The coastline is sandy; during high tides, many shells and small pebbles may wash ashore, but this does not prevent vacationers from enjoying the clean, well-groomed coastline. At one time, the mayor's office took care of the modern infrastructure of the beach and today tourists find here everything they need for relaxation - sun loungers, trestle beds, sun loungers and umbrellas. Considering the number of vacationers on the beach, there are a lot of changing cabins and equipped showers.
There is also an incredible variety of entertainment and services. For lovers of active recreation on the water, scooters, catamarans, and boats will be available for rent. You can fly with a parachute over the water surface of the bay, or you can spend time riding with your children on high inflatable slides. And a very interesting and new service is a paid teacher, under whose supervision you can leave your child if you need to go away.
Every year a competition and exhibition of sand sculptures is held on the Central Beach. This unforgettable spectacle attracts many craftsmen who come from different remote corners of the country and are curious, observing with interest and filming both the process of formation of sand figures and the final results.
"Pearl of Russia"
An excellent well-maintained beach, the name of which speaks for itself. It is located near Central (10-15 minutes on foot) and belongs to the children's health resort of the same name.
The beach is very clean, with clear velvety water and pearl sand, but access to it is prohibited for persons not residing on the territory of the health resort. By the way, nimble tourists still manage to get to this azure clean shore.
The length of the coastline is 250-300 m, and the width in some places reaches 100 m. The famous sand dunes in Vityazevo have become a special attraction of the “Pearl of Russia”. It is still unclear why the sea washes these hills here, but the spectacle is worth seeing.
When is the best time to go?
The climate at the resort is moderate. According to reviews from vacationers, the weather in Vityazevo is warm in winter—the temperature stays above zero. The beach season begins in May and ends at the end of September. Most tourists come to the Black Sea in July and August.

Entertainment
If you do not take into account the attractions of Anapa, available to guests of neighboring villages, there is not much entertainment in Vityazevo itself. Resort life revolves around a kilometer-long embankment with the romantic name “Paralia”. The main promenade is designed in antique style and lined with souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and retail outlets.

Most entertainment facilities are designed for families and children. However, adults will also have something to do in the village: for example, visit the “Wine Estate of the Old Greek”, enjoying the delights of local drinks, or improve their health in the “Pearl” mineral water gallery.
Young people will be delighted with the nightly open disco “Zhar”, where foam parties, show programs and thematic performances are held.

"Felici" is located near the "Paralia" boulevard, and, despite the fact that this area of the city lives a bright and noisy life, in the hotel itself the rest is measured and calm. But “Beach” is a real treasure trove of entertainment for tourists who love national traditions, comfort and luxury.

Anapa beaches are sandy and pebble - detailed description
The beaches of Anapa are famous for their golden sand and warm sea. There are on average 280 sunny days a year here, which is more than in Sochi or Evpatoria. Many Anapa beaches are shallow and the water near their shores is 2-3 degrees higher than at depth, so families with children especially like to relax here.
Anapa also has pebble beaches, where the bottom quickly deepens and you can snorkel and dive.
Most city beaches have developed infrastructure and provide all the services necessary for recreation; there are also “wild” beach areas, including nudist recreation areas.
To the west of the Marine Station, towards Kerch there are sandy beaches of Anapa . To the east of the Marine Station, the coast is rocky; here are the pebble beaches of Anapa .
Vityazevsky Liman
The estuary, with its flat but muddy bottom, suggests other types of recreation than the classic activities at sea - swimming and sunbathing. First of all, these are mud wraps, which have anti-inflammatory and disinfecting properties.
Fishing is no less popular. The catch consists of crucian carp, ram, perch, and carp. Carp, rudd and even seahorse are caught on the bait. Sailing is more common in the open sea, but if you wish, you can also pamper yourself in the estuary.
Here you can enjoy the silence, hide from the sea winds behind high dunes that grow up to 15 meters. A pleasant bonus of relaxing near the estuary close to the sea. On the Vityazevskaya Spit, just ten meters from the reed thickets, the sound of waves, the cry of seagulls and the endless blue expanse. A clean, well-groomed recreation area leaves few people indifferent. Having visited Vityazevo once, many return here again and again.
