Weather in the city

The climate in Simferopol is foothill, dry steppe , which is explained by its geographical location. On one side of the city there is a zone of steppes, on the other - the Crimean Mountains, protecting from the winds.

Winters are warm , the thermometer rarely drops below 0°C. Usually by March the air warms up to 15°C , and already in May the holiday season officially begins in the city. The average temperature is 22°C .

June is warm, but there is frequent rain. The average air temperature is 25°C , a little cooler in the evenings. July and August are considered the hottest and driest months. The air temperature during these months often fluctuates between 30...35°C , sea water - 24...26°C .

In September the air cools down to a comfortable 25°C . Significant cooling begins only in November.

Beach of the Simferopol Reservoir

But this does not mean that there are no beaches at all in Simferopol. They are located on the Simferopol reservoir, near the city. It not only supplies the Crimean capital with life-giving moisture, but also gives its residents and guests the opportunity to cool off in the summer heat. You can get to the edge by trolleybus.

In fact, there are several beaches of different levels of amenities. And it’s a matter of taste – which one to choose. The way in which the future swimmer got to the reservoir also matters a lot - access to personal vehicles is closed to many sections of the shore. The beaches here are sandy, comfortable, with good access; You can find both wild and landscaped areas.

The spacious area next to the dam is considered official. Sometimes it is called Central Beach. Its territory is quite landscaped - there are changing rooms, sun loungers, rental points, and small cafes. The area is cleaned regularly. Access to it is open to everyone, free of charge. The only thing is that there are no rescue or medical assistance points.

In extreme heat and drought, the beach area rapidly increases due to shallowing. But nothing can be done about it. In recent years, the level of filling of the Simferopol reservoir with water has always been good, despite the heat.

Sea beaches near Simferopol

It is relatively easy to get to the sea from the capital. The beach closest to Simferopol on the Black Sea coast is located in Nikolaevka. This village is 40 km from the city.

The village beach of Nikolaevka is even called Simferopol, because on weekends it is filled with Simferopol residents. But it doesn’t become crowded there – the recreation is spacious. There are no special resort frills there, but the necessary infrastructure is present. You can find a shower, toilet, locker room, rental point. The shore is covered with small pebbles, there are no large stones. The entrance is gentle, the edge is good for family relaxation, and there are no problems with food.

Reviews from guests of Nikolaevka note the approximate cleanliness of the beach, the entrance to which does not need to be paid. The sea in the area of ​​the village is also clean.

Since Simferopol has excellent transport links with all the resorts of Crimea, it is easy to get from it to Sudak, Alushta, Feodosia, Yalta, where there are nudist beaches, wild beaches, lake beaches and others. But this will take much more time than a trip to Nikolaevka.

Holidays in Simferopol are usually not beach holidays, but cultural ones - visiting museums and memorable places. But visitors and city residents can still swim, and the hospitable hosts will tell you where it is most convenient to do this.

Wild beaches in the surrounding area

Lovers of natural beauty usually capture photos of Simferopol beaches of a different kind. There is another reservoir nearby - Ayanskoye. The distance to it from the city capital is 30 km. The man-made lake is quite deep (maximum depth is more than 24 m).

There are no civilized beaches on this body of water. But vacationers meet here regularly. The surroundings of Ayansky are picturesque, and it itself is home to fish, including rare brook trout. Therefore, holidays here are preferred by those who strive to combine several pleasures - both swimming and fishing. On the shore it is not difficult to find a place to set up a tent and a convenient entrance.

But amateur tourists should remember that the reservoir’s dam is a specially protected object and staying near it is prohibited. It is better to choose a place on the opposite bank.

Particularly determined swimmers head to the Red Caves area. There is no beach there, but there are numerous “baths” with clean filling. There is also a picnic area. But the water in karst springs is very cold, even in summer its temperature does not rise above +12 degrees.
