Yeisk Estuary Beach
If you want to reduce the volume of the tourist hubbub and listen to the uniform sound of the waves, and, on the contrary, increase the picturesqueness of the landscapes, go to the beaches of the Yeisk Estuary. A narrow strip along it stretches beaches where true prosperity reigns and detachment from the hustle and bustle of vanities; here vacationers will find themselves alone with nature and relax to the whisper of the surf. The shallow depth guarantees warmer water, and the flat bottom guarantees a comfortable entry into the sea. Closer to the Yeisk Spit, the shore is formed by small pebbles with a massage effect, and then the coating gradually turns into sand and shell.
Along the coastline of the estuary, several beaches received their names: “Molodezhny”, “Children’s”, the beach on Nakhalovka, the beach on Gorky Street and the beach on Svoboda Street.
The big minus of the Liman beaches is the railway running right along the coast, but traffic along it is very rare. Despite the fact that the beaches of the estuary are adjacent to the city, there are practically no people here, and, in fact, there are no benefits of civilization. Therefore, you will have to take care of water, towels and entertainment yourself. But if your peace of mind is disturbed, it will only be by incoming waves and a pleasant, refreshing breeze.
Beach and sea in Yeysk
The opening of the swimming season in Yeisk begins in May and ends at the end of September.
Water temperature by month:
- May – (+18.5);
- June – (+23.5);
- July – (+25.5);
- August – (+24.5);
- September – (+19.7);
Due to the large amount of silt impurities in the Sea of Azov, the water becomes cloudy, but this is not mud, but healing components.
There are many different beaches in Yeisk: small pebble beaches; sandy and also stone.
In Yeisk, the beaches are located on the territory of the Taganrog Bay and the Yeisk Estuary. The Yeisk Estuary is considered a good place for swimming with children, since it is not deep there, but there is a slight inconvenience in that there are railway tracks next to the beach. The beaches on the territory of the Taganrog Bay are more developed and active.
In Yeysk, the most visited beaches are: the central beach of the city, the beaches “Kamenka”, “Melyaki” and “On Liman”.
In mid-April, windsurfers come to Yeysk, and in May the Russian Championship in this sport takes place.
Yeisk Spit and city beaches
The length of the Yeisk Spit is about 3 kilometers. Once upon a time it was even longer: located about 3 kilometers from the coast, the island, which is called Green, the Island of the Seven Winds and other exotic names, was once part of the spit. But a strong storm in 1914 separated them. People also helped this: due to the industrial mining of shell rock, a gap formed on the spit. Now Yeisk Spit is a resort center with cafes, monuments and various attractions.
The Yeisk Spit has the best city beaches: Central, Children's and Molodezhny. Some of them are located on the shores of the Taganrog Bay, some on the coast of the Yeisk Estuary.
Children's beach
Children's beach - fine sand and shell rock, gentle entrance to the water. There are no strong waves or currents. And most importantly - small, very, very small. Ideal for children, water is knee-deep for tens of meters.
Looking at the name, we thought – knee-deep. Indeed, knee-deep at first. But... we walked a hundred meters... and cool! The depth varies. And it can be like this: deep, went further into the sea - shallow, went further - deep. And when the waves! It is impossible to convey all the sensations at different depths. I recommend it for families with children of any age: everyone will be interested. / Polina Pozdneva.
Central Beach
The central beach is considered the most comfortable. There is infrastructure for adults (cafes, soft drinks, billiards) and children (attractions). You can rent sun loungers. The beaches are sandy, easy entry into the sea, shallow.
The best beach for adults and even with children in the city of Yeisk. Everyone hangs out here. Well, actually, that’s why it’s Central. The only thing that always seemed windy was the breeze. The sea is a little, half a degree colder than in the estuary, and it is more salty. And even light waves are present every day. On the short path to the beach there are plenty of shops and cafes. It’s possible even with children, it’s still shallow, although deeper than at Children’s. From Detsky towards the estuary it’s really a 5-minute walk. / Aibulat Bagumanov.
Youth Beach
Youth Beach is located at the very top of the Yeisk Spit. Here is the greatest depth in the sea, there is a strong undercurrent, the entrance to the water is not flat, the depth is immediate. Therefore, it is popular among adults. Not suitable for children at all.
A very good place, compared to everything else that is in Yeysk. There is no such intrusive and flashy business: rides, toilets, popcorn (preferably everything is still in one place on 5 meters of area). Here it’s the other way around – there are clean beaches and no flashy advertising, there are sun loungers (for a fee), and a lot of fish. / Michael Poll.
The shore is sand and small shells, it’s pleasant to walk. Next to the Youth Beach there is the Yeskwind mini-hotel with a windsurfing school.

Due to the abundance of fish, this island is home to many different species of birds, such as seagulls, pelicans, swans and black cormorants. In addition to birds, for a fee, local fishermen will give you the opportunity to fish and catch: ram, carp, bream or bull. There is also a special area on the island where you can cook your catch and eat it. There is also the opportunity to visit lakes with healing hydrogen sulfide mud on this island.
