Batumi beach

Stretching along the entire coast of the bay, the beach strip in Batumi extends from the bustling Batumi Sea Port to the vibrant Batumi International Airport. This picturesque expanse encompasses both the popular, beautifully landscaped areas in the city's heart and the more tranquil, secluded spots on the periphery, offering minimal infrastructure for a serene escape. Spanning over 10 kilometers, the beach varies in width from a generous 30 to 50 meters, inviting visitors to bask in its vastness.

Beach description

Welcome to Batumi Beach, a picturesque destination composed of nine distinct beaches, grouped into four main categories: central, suburban, new, and wild. Each beach offers a unique experience, from the bustling, well-equipped shores to the serene, untouched sands.

  • Central City Beach: Nestled in the Old Boulevard region and framed by palm trees, this beach is the quintessential spot for beachgoers within the city limits. A hive of activity, it boasts a plethora of entertainment options both on its territory and nearby. Cyclists will appreciate the bike path that runs along the shoreline. By day, the warm sea with its gentle slope and safe rocky bottom beckons families and individuals alike, while the clean shingle coast and protective breakwaters ensure a comfortable and secure environment. As the sun sets, the vibrant nightlife takes over, with late-night eateries, clubs, and casinos drawing in the youth for unforgettable parties and discos.
  • New Boulevard Beach: Situated away from the city center, this beach offers a tranquil retreat. It becomes a hub of activity only during peak season, attracting those seeking respite from the central beach's hustle and bustle. Ideal for leisurely strolls or relaxed lounging rather than swimming, due to its steeper descent into the sea. Despite the occasionally murky waters of Batumi Bay, the beach's allure is undeniable, with attractions such as a musical fountain, impressive sculptures, and vibrant flower beds. Accessible by public transport or car, it's a gem worth exploring.
  • Suburban Beach: Close to the Opera House, this beach is a popular choice for tourists staying in the vicinity. Its long and narrow stretch, no more than 20 meters wide, is accompanied by the sounds of the nearby highway. The shingly surface and gentle slope to the water are typical here, though the infrastructure is less developed. Reachable by city bus or minibus, it offers a more local and authentic beach experience.
  • Seaside Park Outskirts Beach: For those seeking solitude, this beach on the edge of Seaside Park is Batumi's best-kept secret. Even during the high season, it remains relatively undisturbed. The large shingle can be challenging for sea entry, and the lack of infrastructure adds to its untouched charm. The water may be less clear due to nearby rivers, and the proximity to the airport means occasional overhead plane sounds. Access is possible via taxi or town bus, making it an adventure for the intrepid traveler.

All of Batumi's beaches are open to the public free of charge, inviting everyone to enjoy their natural beauty and diverse offerings.

When is the best time to go?

The best time to visit Georgia for a beach vacation is typically during the late spring to early fall months, when the weather is warm and conducive to spending time on the coast. Here's a breakdown of the optimal periods:

  • Late Spring (May to June): This is a great time to enjoy the beaches of Georgia as the temperatures are comfortable, and the summer crowds have not yet arrived. The water may still be a bit cool in May, but by June it warms up nicely.
  • Summer (July to August): Summer is the peak season for beachgoers. The weather is hot and sunny, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. However, be prepared for larger crowds and higher accommodation prices.
  • Early Fall (September to October): This is an ideal time for those looking to avoid the crowds but still enjoy warm weather. The ocean remains warm enough for swimming, especially in early September, and the humidity begins to drop off.

Regardless of the time you choose, Georgia's beaches offer a delightful escape with their charming coastal towns, delicious seafood, and beautiful natural scenery. Just remember to check the local weather and water conditions before planning your trip.
