Beach description
In 2019 reconstruction of the beach started, providing for the construction of the following facilities:
- wooden promenade on a concrete base 6-8 meters wide;
- capital building with showers, toilets, changing rooms.
After renovation, the beach will become accessible to the disabled. A wakeboarding school with a free section for children will be opened next to it.
Thanks to a smooth set of depth and the buoys, the beach is suitable for vacation with children. Also, amateurs of sunbathing and shashlik gather here. The latter cook meat a few dozen steps from the shore.
You can get here by suburban electric train - it stops 700 meters from the beach (on the railway station "Resort"). A No. 307 bus runs here every hour - its stop is on Magazinnaya Street, 300 meters from the coast.
When is better to go?
The Baltic coast is not the warmest place with respect to air temperature or water temperature. However, from July to September, the warmest and most comfortable period in the Baltic comes: fifteen degrees Celsius will be a stable mark. But remember that in late spring - early summer, the Baltic Sea may “bloom” due to the abundance of plankton: water becomes cloudy and saturated green. During this period, swimming will be unsafe and rather unpleasant.
