Beach description
The coast of Chakvi beach is adorned with a blend of small shingle that transitions into soft sand, offering a significant advantage over its more renowned counterparts. The gentle, sloping entry into the sea and the shallow waters make it an ideal spot for families, as the water is not only clean and tranquil but also safe for children. The beach is enveloped by rows of pines and eucalyptus trees, whose fragrant aroma permeates the air, creating a verdant and shaded oasis.
For those who prefer not to recline on the natural rocky surface, there is the option to rent loungers and umbrellas for a nominal fee, ensuring comfort during their seaside retreat.
In the quaint town adjacent to the beach, visitors will find an array of cozy and economical cafes, alongside a billiard club and a charming water park. Flanking Chakvi are two notable attractions: the expansive Batumi Botanical Garden and the historic Peter's Fortress, dating back to the 6th century. Both are most conveniently accessed by car. Accommodations are plentiful, ranging from well-appointed hotels - where the adjacent coastline is notably well-maintained - to private residences. Additionally, a sprawling camping site is available for those seeking a closer connection with nature.
When is the best time to visit?
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.
