💡 Tips

Accessing the beaches can require walking down steep paths, so make sure to wear comfortable footwear.
The pebble beaches are less crowded than central Sochi, making it a great spot for a peaceful swim.
Stock up on water and snacks in larger nearby towns before arriving, as local shops are quite limited.
The best time for the beach is early morning before the midday sun gets too intense.
