Beach description
Kerch City Beach stands out with its expansive size - the coastline stretches over 3 km, ensuring ample space for visitors at any time of day. However, it's worth noting that SanDali is immensely popular, resulting in a lively and bustling atmosphere.
The beach boasts a completely sandy expanse, varying in width from 10 to 100 meters. The gentle slope into the sea makes it particularly appealing for those less confident in their swimming abilities. With no cliffs in the vicinity, bathers can wade with ease, touching the seabed without worry. The shallow waters also mean that during the summer months, temperatures pleasantly range between +22°C and +25°C.
Fresh air is a constant along the shore, thanks to the beach's open and well-ventilated location. Despite this, the waves remain modest in size, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for swimming with young children.
