💡 Tips
- Bring water shoes as the beaches in Shepsi are pebbly and can be uncomfortable for bare feet.
- Use the 'Elektrichka' local train to travel to Tuapse or Sochi; it's faster and avoids coastal road traffic jams.
- Avoid the beach during midday in July and August; the Black Sea sun can be very intense.
- Buy fruits and vegetables at the local market near the train station, where farmers from the countryside sell their produce.
- Take a walk along the Shepsi River inland for a cooler environment compared to the sunny beach.
🍽 Food
Freshly grilled meat on charcoal skewers, widely available at local outdoor cafes.
A sweet snack made of walnuts stringed together and dipped in thickened grape juice.
A soft white cheese from the nearby Caucasus mountains, often sold fresh at the market.

Dried herbal mixes from the inland mountains are a popular and healthy souvenir.

Shepsi features an idyllic setting on the pretty Russian Black Sea coast and is widely known for its family-friendly pebble and sand beaches as well as its crystal-clear waters. Among the most popular coastal sections are the well-kept beach of the Mayak Pension and the lively Yubileynyy beach. Those looking for quieter spots will find wonderful relaxation opportunities right by the serene sea at the Luch Pension beach. The spacious Municipal beach forms the center of local bathing life, but the Energetik and Smena beaches also invite you to spend relaxing hours under the southern sun. Families with children particularly appreciate the gently sloping shores at the beaches of the Solnyshko Pension, the Shepsi Pension, and Yunost, where completely safe swimming conditions are guaranteed. The mild, subtropical climate and the lush, green vegetation make this coastal resort a first-rate sanctuary for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility. In the cozy local restaurants and cafes, guests can savor traditional Caucasian delicacies as well as classic Russian culinary specialties. Arrival is highly convenient and usually takes place via the neighboring port city of Tuapse, which has excellent connections to the regional railway and road networks.
