💡 Tips

  • The beach consists of pebbles, so bringing a beach mat or renting a sunbed is more comfortable than just a towel.
  • Hike up to the ruins of the Choban-Kule tower for a fantastic view of the coastline.
  • Local minibuses (marshrutkas) are the cheapest way to travel to nearby Sudak, but they can be crowded in summer.
  • The sun is intense in July and August; visit the beach early in the morning or late afternoon.
