There is the necessary infrastructure: rental of sun loungers and sun umbrellas, shade canopies, changing rooms and toilets, and lifeguards.

Basic moments
Dzhubga
The village is located northwest of Tuapse in the cozy valley of the Dzhubga River and is surrounded by picturesque coniferous and deciduous groves. The bay in which the tiny resort is nestled is bounded on the east by Cape Shapsukho, and on the west by Mount Hedgehog, which got its name because of its bizarre contours and forested slope. The climate on the territory of Dzhubga is moderately humid, Mediterranean type: summers here are sunny and hot (average July temperature is +26 ° C), and winters are mild, with little precipitation in the form of rain. During the season, the water off the coast warms up to +26...+32 °C, which makes the resort especially popular among vacationers with small children.
The population in the village is multinational, with the majority of it being Russians and Armenians. Almost all local residents are employed in the tourism sector, which is the main source of income for the local budget. Figuratively speaking, a real resident of Dzhubga will always have something to sell or rent to a visiting guest.
Housing in Dzhubga
The housing rental market in Dzhubga is represented mainly by guest houses, boarding houses and campsites. The price range is significant, which, accordingly, affects the quality of service and living conditions.
Information for tourists: there is no need to book accommodation in Dzhubga in advance, since upon entering the village, holidaymakers are greeted by local barkers offering to quickly and inexpensively solve the “housing problem”. If you know how to bargain, don't miss your chance to get a decent room at a good price.
The best option for romantics and those on a budget are local campsites, most of which are located on the stretch between Dzhubga and Lermontov. On average, spending the night in one of these roadside camps costs around 500 rubles. from a car (the number of people is usually not taken into account). For this amount, a tourist receives not only a place for a tent and a guarded parking lot, but also a minimum set of amenities: a toilet, shower and garbage containers.
Overnight stays in campsites
You can rent a room in a guesthouse for 700 or 3,000 rubles. The first option will most likely be distinguished by a spartan interior and distance from the beach, while the second will be close in level of service to a three-star hotel and will boast a convenient location relative to the sea. In Dzhubga there are also plenty of intermediate options, the prices of which fall within the range of 1000-1500 rubles/day (“Izumrud”, “Zarina”, “Uyut”, “Oleniy Ruchey”).
If there is no need to save money, you can check into one of the local hotels (Grand Paradise, Hestia) to fully enjoy the benefits of civilization in the form of free Internet, air conditioning, separate shower and daily cleaning.
For your information: Dzhubga is a rather noisy village: the proximity of the highway and traditional loud music from beach cafes have an effect, so if you are annoyed by loud sounds, try to find housing as far as possible from the embankment and the highway.
Beaches
The central beach of Dzhubga is sandy and pebbly and almost always crowded, and the maximum “concentration” of tourists is observed precisely on the sandy part of the coast. Often, the search for free space on this piece of land turns into a funny quest, since a sun lounger rented at the nearest rental point does not guarantee that there will be somewhere to put it. Due to the large influx of vacationers, village communal services do not have time to monitor the cleanliness of the coastal zone, so the phenomenon of household garbage floating on the surface of the sea periodically occurs in Dzhubga.
For vacationers unencumbered by complexes and conventions, there is a wild nudist beach (landmark - the foot of Mount Hedgehog). The approach to the sea here is rocky and not entirely convenient, but there are noticeably fewer people in this place.
As for the entertainment offered in Dzhubga, they can be called typical for all small-town resorts in the Krasnodar Territory. Typically these include inflatable slides, banana and jet ski rides, and parasailing. Those who are bored by the monotony of local attractions can take a ticket for a boat plying along the shore and take a ride to Inal Bay. Typically, the excursion includes a visit to a blue clay deposit, where anyone can try its healing properties.

Entertainment and excursions
Excursion programs in Dzhubga are mainly outside. Nature lovers should visit the Guam Gorge, where relict boxwood and yew trees grow, or go on a hike to the Colonel Waterfalls upstream the Dzhubga. Among the most popular routes are trips to the Mill Gap and an excursion to 33 waterfalls. For fans of underwater photography, trips are organized to the Kiselev Rock: it was here that Leonid Gaidai filmed one of the funniest episodes of the comedy “The Diamond Arm” - fishing on the Black Stones. If you have a lot of free time, you can take a sightseeing tour of Abkhazia, which includes visits to the largest resorts and monasteries of the republic.
It is better to recharge yourself with the positive energy of the cosmos at the Dzhubga dolmen, which is included in the list of the largest and best-preserved cult megalithic objects. Romantically minded tourists leave notes here with requests, which the dolmen, according to rumors, diligently fulfills. But taking a selfie against the backdrop of a stone ensemble is categorically not recommended - it’s a bad omen.

The Dzhubga water park continues to be a favorite among the resort’s attractions, providing its visitors with passes for the whole day. Entrance ticket from 10.00 to 20.00 costs 800 rubles. for children height from 106 to 145 cm and 1500 rubles. for adults. If you come to the water park after 14.00, then the price will be 100 rubles. less. Children under 106 cm enter the water attractions for free.
Vacationers with children will be interested in visiting the Dzhubga Dolphinarium, where modest theatrical performances take place.

Despite the crowdedness of the resort, finding a free place in Dzhubga canteens and cafes is not at all difficult. Most of the establishments are located on the embankment or along the highway passing through the resort. The usual menu of an average village tavern is soups, cutlets, goulash and the inevitable shish kebab. If desired, you can also find catering outlets with a distinct Asian flavor (“Caravan”).
In hotel restaurants in Dzhubga, the cuisine is a little more refined and, accordingly, more expensive. For a relatively modest meal here you will have to shell out 1,500 rubles. In a cafe of a lower rank, the cost of lunch in the style of “first, second and compote” is quite budgetary - around 300-400 rubles. By the way, you can’t pay by card in all establishments, so in order to avoid misunderstandings, it is better to always have some cash on hand. As for lovers of resort fast food, you don’t even have to leave your beach lounge chair to taste it: from morning to evening, tireless sellers of food and drinks scurry along the shore.
Tip for tourists: the farther a cafe is from the embankment, the more reasonable its prices.
Shops and markets
The main characteristic of Dzhubga stores can be called unreasonably inflated prices, so it is better to stock up on food and essential goods in chain supermarkets, for example, Magnit. For souvenirs, you will have to go to the local market: the range of traditional magnets, keychains and shell crafts in the local stalls is truly outstanding. Here you can buy beach equipment, chacha, draft homemade wine, spices and honey. The latter is usually impressively decorated with nuts and dried fruits, but, alas, is not always natural. The same resort trinkets, albeit with a small markup, can also be found in souvenir shops on the village embankment.
