The Tuapse district in the Krasnodar Territory is one of the most popular resort regions, along with Sochi and Gelendzhik, between which it is located. One of the most attractive aspects of holidays in this region is its beach areas, which are distinguished by their picturesque location and developed infrastructure.
The beach areas of Tuapse are located in picturesque cozy bays
Many beach areas are quite famous and very popular. These include public and departmental, as well as some wild and semi-wild beaches.
Features of the beaches of the Tuapse region
In principle, the entire coastal strip of the Tuapse region, which is about 90 kilometers
, can be considered as a beach one, because you can swim almost everywhere. But the widest and most convenient coastal areas, close to resort villages, are designated as official beach areas.
The widest coastal strips are reserved for official beaches
Most of the beach areas of Tuapse have a pebble surface
, consisting of both large and small pebbles with an admixture of shell rock and quartz sand. The presence of pebbles has an undeniable advantage in the sense that the water near the coast remains almost transparent during the day, even with a large crowd of people.
Pebble beaches make up the majority of the Tuapse region
Another advantage of having a pebble surface is a therapeutic foot massage, which is provided daily and free of charge. If when walking on pebbles barefoot in the first days you feel pain and a certain discomfort, then after a day or two your feet get used to it, and the therapeutic effect of the massage remains. If you really can’t bear to walk on pebbles, especially during sunny hours, then you can buy special beach shoes.
Small pebble and sandy beaches begin in a westerly direction from Novomikhailovsky
Pebble beaches are considered to be the area from the settlements of Shepsi and Dederkoya, located in the east of the region to Novomikhailovsky, where pebble-sand and sandy beach areas begin, although it should be noted that the sand here is not exactly the same as that found, for example, in Anapa.
The sandy beaches of the Tuapse coast contain small shell rock
Tuapse coastal coverings are mainly formed naturally, although in a number of places one can notice artificial human intervention in the formation of beach areas, such as the creation of an artificial sandy covering in Inal Bay.
Almost all beach areas have a gentle and comfortable descent into the sea, in some places it is longer and in others it is less extended. This circumstance must be taken into account if you plan to vacation with children.
Dachny (Solnechny)
The name comes from the city street facing the beach. The beach's amenities are more reminiscent of a summer cottage. Paid – only sun loungers and jet skis.
Located between two rivers (1st and 2nd Sochi Gap), the beach is not very developed - there are only dachas nearby. There are small pebbles underfoot, the water is clear. Entertainment includes jet ski rental at the Solnechny .
You can walk along the street. Dacha or Solnechnaya (if you are staying nearby in guest houses or hotels), but if you live far from the sea, it is better to get there by car. Coordinates: 44.082233, 39.089309
Public beaches
Public beaches, which all tourists can freely and freely visit, are the most popular and ennobled coasts of all resort villages of Tuapse. In almost all settlements of the Tuapse region, the main public beaches are called “Central”
. There is a Central Beach in Tuapse, although the city itself is not considered a resort.
All public beaches have mandatory attributes in the form of changing rooms, toilets, showers, rescue and medical services. There is also a rental of beach equipment from sun loungers to sun umbrellas.
The beach areas of the main resorts of Tuapse are modern and comfortable
Usually these beaches are located in close proximity to equipped embankments
, which have catering outlets, souvenirs and other trade products.
These beach areas also have a developed entertainment
, from banana boat rides to parachute flights and scuba diving.
The most traditional beach activity remains banana boat rides.
The most significant drawback of these beaches is their crowdedness, especially at the height of the tourist season. Often, in order to take a place in the sun, you need to come here early in the morning.
Sandy beaches
Since there are few purely sandy beaches in the Tuapse region, in this section we will also mention sand and pebble beaches, which in their structure are closer to the sandy surfaces characteristic of this region.
Tuapse beach
The sand and pebble (and in some places coarse sand) beach of the City of Military Glory Tuapse is very popular and in demand during the tourist season.
Its Central Beach begins on the left bank of the Tuapse River and stretches eastward for more than 700 meters, reaching the territory of the private sector "Gorki". The main and most visited part of the Central Beach is focused closer to the Tuapse river mouth. A little further east you can find more secluded places.
The road to the Central Beach is designed as an embankment
This beach is equipped with all the attributes necessary for a good rest, is maintained in a clean and tidy condition, and is quite wide (40-50 meters). Its territory consists of several zones. First of all, this is a direct beach area adjacent to the sea. There is also a specially designated area for active recreation. There are play areas for children with inflatable slides and castles. There is also a special rest area for disabled people. By the way, for children, not far from the beach there is a children's park with simple entertainment in the form of swings.
On the Central Beach of Tuapse there are places for passive and active recreation
From the central beach you can admire the Tuapse Seaport, which is located in the northwest of the opposite bank of the Tuapse River, and the ships sailing back and forth.
This beach is very popular with the local population, because residents come here from various nearby points throughout the Krasnodar region, so, given the large influx of vacationers from all over the country at the height of the season, you can guess that the Central Beach of Tuapse is quite crowded. However, you can always find a place there. And the catering and entertainment service of the beach will make your stay pleasant and comfortable.
It is more convenient to get here by car. If you come to the beach with your own car, you can leave it in front of the first barrier in the free parking lot. You can drive about another 100 meters to the paid parking lot, which is located in front of the second barrier.
The main parking at the Central Beach of Tuapse is free
Next, a pedestrian path begins along a pleasant equipped road in the form of an embankment along the river bed of the city’s namesake river.
A well-designed pedestrian sidewalk connects the parking lot to the beach.
But getting here on foot from the city through the industrial zone is a little difficult and tiring, but still doable. The road from the Tuapse bus station to the beach will take 20-25 minutes. Directional signs are present along the entire route. Therefore, it is better to be on the beach all day.
You can walk to the beach through the Industrial Zone
What kinds of entertainment, besides beach ones, are there in Tuapse, what should you pay attention to first of all, what museums should you go to and what streets should you stroll along? Information about this can be found here.
Beaches in Novomikhailovsky
The most popular main pebble-sand and sandy beaches start from the Novomikhailovsky village and continue from there to the northwest. The village itself has the widest and longest beach areas in the area (about 40 meters). The central beach here stretches along the beautiful Embankment with developed infrastructure, which makes a beach holiday in Novomikhailovsky quite complete and comfortable.
The central beach of Novomikhailovsky is the longest in Mikhailovskaya Bay
Novomikhailovsky also has one of the best sandy beaches in Tuapse - Children's Beach, but this is a departmental beach, and we will talk about it a little below.
More detailed material not only about the beach areas of Novomikhailovsky, but also about its attractions, about the amazing children's room and about the ancient fortress of Nikopsia can be found here.
Beaches in Lermontovo
Within a radius of just one stop from the center of the village of Lermontovo towards Tuapse there is one of the most famous Tuapse sandy beaches - the Golden Coast,
almost 2 km long and up to 50 meters wide. This beach has a very comfortable and rich infrastructure, a variety of entertainment attractions and children's play areas.
The “Golden Coast” beach is perhaps the most popular sandy beach in the Tuapse region
The gentle slope into the sea allows families with children to relax here, and numerous cafes are always at the service of hungry parents and their children.
In addition to the Golden Coast, Lermontovo also has a traditional Central Beach
, where it is much more crowded, but also has more entertainment in the form of a small amusement park with a Ferris Wheel. This beach also has a sandy surface and is located very close to the center of the village and the resort promenade.
The beaches of the village of Lermontovo are among the most popular in the region
More information about the beaches of this resort village and other entertainment available there can be found here.
Beaches in Dzhubga and Bzhida
The resort village of Dzhubga can also boast of having a sandy and pebble, and in some places purely sandy beach. Here, almost the entire 800-meter coastline of Dzhubga Bay with a convenient descent into the sea is the Central Beach. This beach is also considered quite comfortable in the Tuapse region.
Almost the entire territory of Dzhubga Bay is beach
The resort status of Dzhubga means that the beach area should have everything necessary for a fun time and good rest, and therefore there is mandatory beach equipment, a developed entertainment service, and traditional amenities in the form of changing rooms, showers, toilets, rescue services, etc. .
In addition to relaxing on the Central Beach, local vacationers go to the famous beaches of Inal Bay
, located near the village of Bzhid, 15 km from Dzhubga. The eastern part of this almost 3.5-kilometer artificial beach area is small pebble and sandy. At the moment, these beaches are not very equipped, although there is some beach equipment there.
The beach area of Inal Bay is very long
Since the territory of this beach is not located in a resort village, there is no promenade with developed infrastructure, there is no large selection of cafes and bars, and the entertainment itself is several times less than in Dzhubga.
But no one will go hungry here, the number of catering outlets is growing from season to season, there is a barbecue and cafe, fast food and hookah bar, but all these establishments are located in the center of the bay, where the beaches have large pebbles. So there is a choice here. Or relax on a sandy beach or enjoy the relatively developed benefits of civilization.
There is some infrastructure in the central part of Inal Bay
But there are significantly fewer people on the sandy beaches of this bay than in the resort village. Therefore, this beach is chosen by lovers of secluded beach pastimes who are not demanding of comfort and entertainment.
And civilization has not yet reached the sandy beaches of Inal Bay
Next to the beach areas of Inal Bay, you can visit another bay - Blue. You can also have a very good rest there, especially since this area is more ennobled thanks to the presence of the Tuapse boarding house.
More information about the beaches of Dzhubga and its other places worth visiting can be found here.
Pebble beaches
Almost all other beaches in the Tuapse region are classified as large and medium-pebble.
Beach in Olginka
One of the best pebble beaches in the Tuapse region is the beach of the resort village of Olginka. Its Central Beach stretches along the sea for more than one kilometer and has a very gentle slope into the sea, which makes it convenient for a family holiday with children. The beach area is very well equipped and pleasant to both the eye and the body. Vacationers note the cleanliness of the beach and its well-groomed condition.
The excellent Olginki beach is complemented by the beautiful resort embankment
A nice bonus for a beach holiday is the Olginka Embankment, which looks very presentable and resort-like in appearance.
You can read more about the beaches of Olginka, what else you can see in Olginka and how to have fun here.
Beach in Nebug
The central large-pebble beach of this resort village is also one of the best in the Tuapse region. Its more than 250-meter beach strip is equipped with the necessary equipment for a comfortable stay, mini-markets, canopies, piers, children's inflatable attractions, and wooden decking.
The central beach in Nebug is one of the widest on the Tuapse coast
Fans of active recreation will always find something to their liking here, from regular banana rides to extreme parachute flights. Rescue and medical services are on duty on the beach. Nearby there are many cafes and restaurants to suit every taste and budget, as well as additional entertainment such as the Dolphinarium and the Dolphin Water Park.
More information about the beaches of Nebug and its other entertainment can be found here.
Beach in Agoy
The pebble beach of the village of Agoy is a small but fairly well-groomed area. It is equipped with entertainment attractions, beach equipment and other services necessary for vacationers. However, the small area makes it quite busy during the holiday season. It is more convenient to get here from other villages by car, however, parking here, unlike Tuapse, is paid.
The pebble beach of Agoy is small but cozy
Many vacationers in Agoy like to go to the wild beach at Kiselev Rock.
Quite comfortable, clean and modern beach areas are the pebble beaches of the villages of Shepsi and Dederkoya.
Inal Bay
Although in Dzhubga itself the beach coverings consist of small pebbles and sand, in the Inal Bay of the village of Bzhid you can also find large-pebble beach areas, especially in its central, most equipped part near the Parus Hotel. The water here is always clean, everything you need for a beach holiday is available, in addition, it is here that there is a source of healing blue clay and an equipped tourist area with a decent selection of kebab houses, cafes, bars and nightclubs.
The central part of Inal Bay is gradually turning into a tourist center
Some disadvantage is the absence of a nearby civilized center in the form of a resort village, which leads to a lack of developed infrastructure. A significant drawback is the difficulty of getting here without a personal car. Well, the lack of rescue and medical services on the coast is also an undeniable disadvantage.
Weather in Tuapse in winter
Tuapse is located in a humid subtropical climate zone, so the winters here are mild, with little snow, rather rainy and cloudy. The Black Sea, which acts as a natural heat reservoir, does not allow the thermometer to drop below 0, and the mountains protect the resort from cold winds.
The average daytime temperature of the season is +7-10 °C, nighttime temperature varies between +1-2 °C. Snow in Tuapse is a rare phenomenon, but even if it falls, it does not stay on the ground and melts quickly. It rains 7-8 days a month, and the sun has difficulty breaking through the leaden clouds.
The weather in the suburbs of Tuapse generally resembles a vest: a stripe is warm, a stripe is cold, here it’s calm and clear, there it’s windy, dank and damp.
In each of the satellite villages, in winter, its own microclimate is formed, and while in Olginka it is dry and the sun is shining, in Agoy there is ice, in Dzhubga it rains, and in Novomikhailovsky there is already a meter of snow. And this picture continues further. May be interesting: New Year in the south of Russia: where to go.

Departmental beaches
In the coastal part of the Tuapse region, due to its excellent healing mountain-sea microclimate, there are a lot of sanatoriums, boarding houses, holiday homes, children's camps, etc., which have their own beach areas. As a rule, departmental territories are more comfortable and well-groomed, and have more landscaped recreation and entertainment areas.
Not only the beaches, but also the departmental areas of the residence area are very well maintained
You can usually get to departmental beaches for a small fee, but you can spend time there more comfortably, and there are a little less people there.
For example, in the village of Novomikhailovsky
Many people choose to spend time on the beach in the closed area of the Tornado holiday home, which is combined with the yacht club of the same name. This exemplarily well-kept area has everything you need - beach equipment and entertainment at the level of yachting and diving. There is a separate mini-pool for children, from which it is almost impossible to drag them away.
The closed territory of the Tornado DO in Novomikhailovsky is very comfortable and convenient
One of the coolest sandy beaches of the Tuapse coast is the Children's
, which is located 4 km west of the center of Novomikhailovsky. You can only enter this wonderful territory for a fee. In addition to spending time on the beach, you can take excursions around the camp and its museum complex. The disadvantages of this beach are its remoteness from the center of the village, the lack of catering and public entertainment. But at your disposal you will have the purest sand, a warm sea and the absence of a large noisy crowd of vacationers.
The purest sand and excellent sea recreation can be found on the beach of the All-Russian Children's Center "Orlyonok"
In the village of Lermontovo
There are two very comfortable departmental territories. This is a well-equipped beach of the Lermontovo Sanatorium on the eastern outskirts of the village and the beach of the Sea Wave Children's Camp. The last one is highly recommended for families with children. There is a calm and smooth descent into the sea, numerous inflatable children's attractions, a mini-pool and other fun for the younger generation.
In the resort Nebug
The best beach area is the comfortable 250-meter pebble beach
of the Prometheus Sanatorium
. Its identifying mark is a high panoramic elevator, on which clients of the sanatorium can go down to the beach and back up, admiring the surrounding beauties of Nebug along the way. Non-clients of the sanatorium go to the beach along the shore for an additional fee.
The beach of the Prometheus Sanatorium is one of the most comfortable in Nebug
The well-groomed territory of Prometheus Beach has modern shelters, an aerarium, a volleyball court, traditional equipment rental, bridges and changing rooms. Vacationers have a wide range of water attractions at their disposal.
The most elite departmental territory of Nebug is the closed beach of the resort complex "Molniya-Yamal"
. On the more than 200-meter long medium-pebble beach of this resort complex, in addition to traditional services, you can find sand areas for children, cafes, kebab shops and bars, and even shops with beach goods.
The Nebug beach of the Molniya-Yamal resort is also comfortable
Comfortable beach areas also include a 100-meter small-pebble coastal strip belonging to the Lavikon Hotel. This beach is surrounded by breakwaters, which give it the appearance of a small and quiet cove. There are gazebos and sun protection “mushrooms”, showers and even a frame pool.
Some departmental beaches, such as in Inal Bay
are absolutely free. They belong to numerous bases, holiday homes and hotels, but special services have not yet been organized there. The most developed in terms of tourism is the central part of the bay, which is already quite civilized, has a set of beach services, entertainment and a catering network. The remaining parts of this very long beach, which has various surfaces, are semi-wild, but also sparsely populated.
Seaside
Located at the mouth of the Spider River, it is only 250 meters long and 5 meters wide. Nearby there are good hotels, a sun lounger rental station, and changing cabins. No entry fee required.
The shore is small pebbles , entry into the water is gradual. The place is surrounded by rocks with greenery, so that even during the day there will be natural shade. Usually there are fewer vacationers here, and the views of nature are more picturesque than on other beaches. In the evening you can catch fish and crabs.
There is a car park nearby, and along the entire coast there is a path that leads to any other beach in the city.
Fans of hiking will get here on their own feet, but it is better to come with children by car: it is located at the end of the street. Primorskaya, in the very west of the city. Coordinates: 44.097608, 39.052178
Wild beaches
Many vacationers in the Tuapse region prefer to spend time not on crowded equipped and noisy beach areas, but in secluded and calm places, where the lack of civilized service is compensated by a feeling of unity with picturesque nature, clean sea water and complete relaxation to the singing of birds and the sound of the surf.
Wild beach areas are very picturesque, but rather narrow
All wild beaches are located between villages and relaxation here is not very comfortable. The fact is that the coastal wild areas in the Tuapse region are quite narrow, and, as a rule, are formed from rocky debris or large stones.
The wider of these areas are favored by “wild” tourists who pitch tents at the base of the cliffs. Both avid fishermen and those who enjoy scuba diving love to visit these places. However, we must not forget that on the wild coast there are no rescue services and here you have to rely only on yourself. In addition, during periods of sea storms, these beaches can simply disappear under water.
Gorka Beach
Perhaps the longest (more than a kilometer) and quite wide (up to 10 meters) wild beach area is the coastal strip located in the southwestern microdistrict of Tuapse - in the private sector of Gorka between the mouths of two small rivers - the First and Second Sochi Gap. Among the attributes of civilization, there are only breakwaters made of huge boulders.
A strip of wild beaches begins from the eastern outskirts of Tuapse
This beach is a logical continuation of the Central one and is no different from it in structure. If you wish, you can come here on foot along Kurortnaya, Solnechnaya, Dachnaya or Lazurnaya streets. When traveling by transport, you need to get off at the “On Demand” or “Solnechnaya” stop.
At the height of the tourist season, it can be quite crowded and enterprising local businessmen even install inflatable trampolines on the coast and offer traditional water activities.
The breakwaters are fully used by fishermen and divers. The big inconvenience of this beach is not so much the lack of civilization as the constant noise from passing trains, because the railway track in this place is very close to the coastal strip.
Beach "Spring"
Another popular wild beach area of the Tuapse region is the 700-meter strip of coastline between the departmental beach of the Vesna Boarding House and the village of Gizel-Dere. The width of this cozy and calm place, located east of the Vesna railway platform, reaches as much as 15-16 meters. This beach is located 1.5 kilometers from Tuapse.
Wild beach "Spring" is located slightly east of Tuapse
The amenities of this area include the presence of seven breakwaters, a small area cleared of boulders, clean water, and a relatively calm descent into the sea, as well as the proximity of a railway station and, of course, the peace and tranquility of wild nature.
Rock Kiseleva
Perhaps the most popular wild beach in the Tuapse region is the beach near the famous Kiselev Rock. Alexander Kiselev was one of the famous landscape artists of the second half of the 19th century. In Tuapse he had a summer cottage, which today houses his House Museum, and one of the rocks depicted on his canvas, the Kadosh Rocks, was named after him. This place is also known from the film “The Diamond Arm”, because one of its scenes was filmed here.
The wild beach at Kiselev Rock is a fairly popular holiday destination
More details about this Tuapse attraction and how to get to it on foot can be found here.
The wild beach of Kiselev Rocks is located on the northwestern outskirts of Tuapse, closer to the village of Agoy. It is more convenient to get there from Tuapse by boat. This excursion is one of the most popular in any village of Tuapse. Vacationers in the village of Agoy can get there on foot.
Other wild beaches
North of the village of Agoy, not far from the Kiselev Rock, there is the famous wild beach “Mouse Holes”
, the width of which reaches a maximum of only two meters. Extreme sports enthusiasts come here to swim in the very clear water and fishermen claim that there is always a bite in this place. However, the descent into the sea here is very steep, and the rock formations and large boulders are quite dangerous.
The wild beach at Mouse Holes is very picturesque
Crystal Creek is also quite popular.
, located 3 km west of Tuapse. This place in the Kadoshsky forest park was chosen by car travelers and the ubiquitous fishermen. By the way, almost the entire coast of the Kadosh Rocks is the territory of a wild beach - sparsely populated, unequipped and rather narrow.
Rock Kiseleva
Stunningly beautiful places, the best on the coast! The location is located in the western part of the city - between Cape Kadosh and the Agoy River. Bonus - you can relax in the protected area, which is protected.
The wild coast surprises with its nature - bizarre rocks hanging over the beach. Numerous trees, shrubs, exotic orchids and birdsong. The coastline is pebbles, quite large, and boulders. The bottom has sharp drops, ledges, rocks. There is no infrastructure. The water is crystal clear with a turquoise tint. Special feature – they offer rope jumping from the top of the cliff!
Tourists admire the beach - very beautiful places and unique silence. Difficult to get to. There is an opportunity to pitch tents on the rock. Easy to catch crabs, excellent catch of mussels and shrimp if you swim a little from the shore. You need to take bus number 18 to the stop. “Railway station”, then walk.
Nudist beaches
There are no specialized nudist beaches in the Tuapse region, such as, for example, in the popular Crimean village of Koktebel. Nudist beaches here are considered wild beach areas hidden from resort villages by natural mountain ranges. These are unequipped and not very wide coastal strips, but if you want to completely merge with nature in its and your original form, it is quite possible to visit these beaches.
Any wild beach away from villages can be used as a nudist beach
The most popular vacation spot for nudists is considered to be the so-called nudist beach in Dzhubga, which is located on the other side of the village in a westerly direction behind Mount Hedgehog. It is quite difficult to call this rocky area a beach, because it is simply a wild, unimproved and rather narrow strip of coastline. But since this is still a secluded and inaccessible place, nudists have chosen it for their extraordinary holiday.
The wild beach of Dzhubga behind Mount Hedgehog is officially considered nudist
It is impossible to talk about all the beach areas of the Tuapse region, but having received a general idea of the beach coverings and the main beach infrastructures of this coast, we hope it will be easier for you to navigate the large selection that this resort and fertile corner of the Krasnodar Territory offers.

Winter in Tuapse is a great time for recreation, excursions and walking. Silence, solitude and cloudy weather give this resort a special charm that is difficult to put into words.
"Spring"
The microdistrict in the south of Tuapse, which was once a separate village, gave its name to the beach. Its length is about 500 m, width 15 m. On both sides the beach is protected by stone embankments protruding into the sea. The coast is covered with small pebbles mixed with sandy areas. The entry into the water is gentle. The sea near Vesna beach is clean.
It is convenient to get to the beach by train - the station is nearby. Not everyone will like the noise of passing trains. Although there are people who like to wave to people passing by.
You can get to the beach by buses and minibuses. There are often locals on the shore who often fish here. Behind “Vesna”, away from Tuapse, there are wild beaches where you can retire. And on the Vesna beach itself it is quiet, calm, there are not many vacationers.
Despite the lack of noisy entertainment, the beach has good infrastructure. There are sun loungers, umbrellas, changing rooms, showers, toilets. Rescuers monitor safety on the tower. There are cafes and shops.
There is a rental of boats, jet skis and equipment. Children can ride a banana boat, there are slides and a trampoline. There is a playground for volleyball fans. The place is popular among diving fans.
There is a park nearby on the shore where you can take a walk or warm up on the sports ground. The village of Vesna has mini-hotels and guest houses, so for a relaxing holiday you can stay in the village and sunbathe on the beach. It is convenient to travel by train to Tuapse and Sochi, where you can go sightseeing.
Entertainment for children
Families with children should visit the Chernomor water park, where children can enjoy a variety of slides and swim in the pools. For very little ones, there are “paddling pools” so that no one will get bored. And tourists will have memories from this entertainment place. Nearby, in the small town of Dzhubga, there is a dolphinarium where shows with marine life are held every day: dolphins, fur seals and killer whales. Also, together with a trainer, you can swim with a dolphin and take photographs as a souvenir. This will be an unforgettable trip for a child, because these are smart and sociable animals.
Dolphinarium in Dzhubga

Where to go with children

Dolphinarium "Aquamir" is located in the resort village of Nebug, 15 km from Tuapse. The show of three dolphins and two fur seals takes place twice a day (from 11.00 and 17.00) except on Mondays, when the artists have a day off.
