💡 Tips

  • The beach here is less crowded than in nearby Odesa, making it well-suited for a quiet morning swim.
  • A local bus connects the village to Odesa, but check the schedule as evening services are quite limited.
  • Look out for the cliffside paths for the best panoramic views over the Black Sea.
  • Bring your own beach mats as there are fewer sunbed rental options here than in bigger resort towns.
