Beach description
Ten minutes walk from the centre of Odessa, and you find yourself at the pompous 19th-century arch that serves as the entrance to the Langeron. This is the first beach you'll find on a 6-kilometre long coastal beach that connects several Odessa resorts.
Langeron is surrounded by low but steep limestone slopes covered with lush greenery. Steps decorated with two huge spheres help descend to crystal clear waters. The beach is covered with pure fine sand. On the left side - less popular with holidaymakers - the sand coating is inferior to concrete slabs. Gentle piers successfully reflect wave blows. Contains waves and an underwater monolithic breakwater located 50 m from shore.
The beach is connected to another iconic recreation area - Shevchenko Park. Its viewing platforms offer views of the Gulf of Odessa and the seaport. In the heart of the park stands a column erected to commemorate one of Alexander II's visits to Odessa.
When is it better to go
The swimming season on Ukrainian beaches begins in early June and lasts until the end of September. Particularly in this period, tourists rush to the resort cities to enjoy the hot and sunny weather on the scenic coast.
