Suzdal Lakes beach
Suzdal lakes is a picturesque natural area in the Northern part of St. Petersburg and a popular holiday destination for citizens. In Soviet times, a cozy holiday village “Ozerki” was organized there, where the local Bohemia gathered for the summer. Now the territory is actively built up with luxurious mansions of representatives of the already modern elite, who shamelessly protect their possessions with high fences and thus block the access of ordinary citizens to water.

Descripció de la platja
Suzdal lakes are a chain of three reservoirs connected by small channels. Verkhnee lake is the most popular among tourists. It is located a five-minute walk from the metro station “Ozerki”. Its length is 600 meters, width is 450.
It is a convenient place for swimming with a great sandy beach surrounded by pine trees. The water depth near the shore is no more than three meters, the safety of visitors is monitored by rescuers. Comfortable swimming areas are fenced with buoys, risk areas are marked with warning signs. The beach is equipped with a toilet, changing rooms, picnic pavilions and shopping tents. It offers water sports, beach volleyball, tennis, boat rental and fishing gear (there are a lot of fish in that lake).
It is very crowded and lively at the height of the summer season and on weekends. There is noise, music shouts. The aroma of pine needles is interrupted by smoke from the fires. Therefore, lovers of a more relaxing holiday prefer the Srednee Lake, where there are less people.
It is little less in size than Verkhnee lake. The coast is hilly and sandy. The bottom is comfortable and safe. There are also lifeguards on duty. Places for swimming are fenced with buoys. A training sports base is next to the beach, where you can learn the basics of windsurfing, wakeboarding and water skiing. It is possible to rent a boat and go fishing
Nizhnee Lake is the largest of the three, its length reaches two kilometers. It is forbidden to swim in it because of the proximity of the Shuvalov cemetery, but it is very pleasant to walk along the shore and admire the sunset. Unfortunately, an impressive part of the territory is given over to uncontrolled development, and the picturesque wild beaches are littered with garbage and household waste, which are left behind by careless “shashlykmakers”.
When is the best time to go?
Baltička obala nije najtoplije mjesto s obzirom na temperaturu zraka ili temperaturu vode. Međutim, od jula do septembra dolazi najtopliji i najudobniji period na Baltiku: petnaest stepeni Celzijusa bit će stabilna oznaka. Ali zapamtite da bi u kasno proljeće - rano ljeto Baltičko more moglo "procvjetati" zbog obilja planktona: voda postaje mutna i zasićena zelena. Tokom ovog perioda kupanje će biti nesigurno i prilično neprijatno.
