City-resort Kerch: beaches "Moskovsky", "Molodezhny", "Kapkany"

This beautiful and very green city is comfortably located on the shore of the Kerch Strait, between the Black and Azov Seas, on the peninsula of Crimea. The former capital of the Bosporan kingdom, the modern city of Kerch is very popular. This is the largest industrial settlement of the peninsula, and most importantly, the famous Crimean resort, which attracts millions of tourists.

Recreation

Kerch is one of the oldest cities of the peninsula, because it is easy to combine beach holidays with sightseeing and cognitive. In the city and its environs there are many natural, cultural and historical monuments. Among them - Mount Mithridates and the Great Mithridates staircase, excavations of the ancient city of Panticapaeum and a more modern historical monument - the Obelisk of Glory.

Both adults and children of school age will be interested to visit the Tsar's mound with the burial vault of the ruler of the Bosporan state, as well as two ancient sites that are located east of Panticapaeum, the Ottoman fortress of Yeni-Kale, the fortress of Kerch, which was erected in the XIX century.

You can visit Agimushkaisky quarries, which impress all guests. Lovers of religious buildings will not disappoint the city of Kerch either. Here is the oldest church on the peninsula of St. John the Baptist, a recognized monument of Byzantine architecture.

Well, everyone who came to rest with children and just wants to unwind, we recommend to go to the farm for breeding ostriches "Exotic" or visit a unique museum of marine fauna and flora.

Beaches of Kerch

And although the city really has many attractions, tourists are usually very interested in the beaches of Kerch (the reviews confirm this). In the city and its immediate vicinity there are both beautifully equipped coastal areas with excellent infrastructure, and almost wild where people like to rest, tired of the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Kerch: city beach

In 2011, the city beach was reconstructed, and it was given the name of Sun Dali. It should be noted that he was among the twenty best beaches of the peninsula. But in Crimea there are more than 500 of them.

Sun Dali is located on the outskirts of the city, so it is better to go on a fixed-route taxi. According to the citizens, this is the most equipped and attractive beach of the city. Here for the rest are provided showers with fresh water, cabins for changing clothes, toilets. There is a cafe-bar on the territory.

Most of the guests coming to Kerch, the city beach is always visited. It is very wide, sandy, with a gentle bottom. Guests are offered a variety of water activities, you can rent everything you need for water sports. On the beach set inflatable slides and other attractions that will be interesting not only to children, but also to adults.

"Moscow"

This beach is named after the name of the street, which ends right at the sea. It runs parallel to the coast and has several exits to the sea. I must say that tourists who come to Kerch, choose beaches on the Black Sea coast, and on the shore of the Azov Sea.

"Moskovsky" is considered one of the most well-equipped in the city. It belongs to the water area of the Azov Sea. The coastal line is sandy, but the coast itself is rocky, with numerous boulders and rock formations. In July-August it overgrew with grass. But this holidaymakers consider it rather a plus than a minus: on the grass you can conveniently sit on a towel. And for fans of greater comfort, you can rent an umbrella and a chaise longue in the rental office located on site.

There are locker rooms, showers, toilets. Despite the well-developed infrastructure, on the outskirts of the beach you can find quite wild areas where there are very few holidaymakers. From here, however, far from the showers, but it is quieter, there is no noise and fuss. The beach is narrow, although on the second level (slightly above the coastal strip) there are stationary places with benches and tables. Here during the day you can have a snack and even make a shish kebab.

There are not many entertainments, besides this beach is not too suitable for rest with very young children. The entrance to the water is gentle only in some places, but in general it is quite steep. However, he finds his admirers among those who come to Kerch. The beaches here are very different, so everyone can choose according to their own taste.

"Moscow" is usually preferred by those who do not like a large crowd of tourists and appreciate the beauty of untouched nature.

Beach "Youth" (Kerch)

And this place is considered to be the most green and the most picturesque in the city. It is located in the area of the popular city park. Voikova, where people like to rest not only guests of the city, but also local residents. Directly from the park you can go to the beach. His name was chosen not by chance - young people really prefer to rest here, although even older tourists will like it here.

In addition, families with children feel quite comfortable here. A gentle descent into the water, a shallow depth, thanks to which the water warms up perfectly, attracts parents with small tourists. The beach is not large: its length is just over twenty meters, and its width is about five. But this is quite enough to get into a chaise longue, and at the second level, where there are tables, pavilions and barbecues, you can relax from the hot sun and have a bite to eat.

To the left of the beach there is a large gazebo, from which a stunning view of the cliffs and the sea opens. You can drive to the Molodezhnoe by car. There is a guarded parking lot

«Traps»

This name was given to the beach in honor of the microdistrict on the eastern outskirts of the city, where it is located on the shore of the warm Sea of Azov. The coast here is high and quite steep, which is not very typical for a city like Kerch. Beaches created by nature on some sites are small, but very cozy, covered with sand and shell rock. Most of them are narrow and short (from ten to one hundred meters).

The bottom is flat and level. Despite the fact that the residential area of Kapkany is densely built up by private houses, there are practically no infrastructures here, these beaches can be called wild. Local residents do not rest here, as descent into the water is steep and often dangerous.

Reviews

Many tourists note that for many years they have come to Kerch. The beaches here suit them first of all with the opportunity to choose the most convenient place for themselves. For example, on the city beach all the conditions for recreation with children are created, while "Traps" are more suitable for extreme lovers.
