The sea stone (or pebble), which we all loved to collect as children on the Black Sea beaches, has interesting story... Millions of years ago, the formation of the Caucasus Mountains took place with a violent eruption of volcanoes, flows of solidified lava in the form of plates, debris and small pieces were carried away by the current of mountain rivers and fell into the sea. The waves of the sea continued to grind and roll in the debris, crushing and rounding the stones.

Types of sea stones

The pebbles that we all love to play on the beach are a real rock, a witness to prehistoric times. Light porous pumice - the remains of fossilized volcanic magma, frozen far from the eruption site and trapped air - hence the numerous pores. The name of the sea stones, smoother and heavier, are basalts and tuffs. They formed at the exit of lava from the volcano. And the heaviest sea stone - granite - originated in its very throat.

The shiny, egg-shaped, rounded granite boulders that we can see on the beach are durable and shiny (thanks to the mixture of mica, quartz and feldspar) volcanic rock. Monuments and obelisks are erected from it; it is in demand by builders and designers. Other finishing stones - basalts, tuffs of different shades - are perfect for facing surfaces. Almost any sea stone can be used for applied or decorative purposes.

On the beach you can also find samples of semiprecious minerals - syenites, porphyrites, chrysolites. These beautiful sea stones are used to create jewelry and bijouterie. There is also a favorite of healers - chalcedony. These are even more ancient than rocks, the stones also come from volcanic craters.

Sea stones - description and composition

Another use for this wonderful thing is decorative figurines and garden sculptures. Nothing limits the flight of creative imagination here. Stones are grouped, glued, painted, decorated with whatever your heart desires. Crafts from sea stones, the photos of which you see in this article, can be made by everyone.

As a result, we see bright ladybirds, frogs, caterpillars, snails ... You can make "vegetables" and "fruits", especially popular "mushrooms" are placed in different corners of the garden. Large stones of a suitable shape are painted in the form of tigers, sharks, crocodiles, dogs, cats and even fairy gnomes or elves. Ornamental pots or buckets filled with "strawberries" or "apples" made of painted stones will serve as an original decoration of the garden.

We master together with the child

But what to do when it is winter outside the window, summer cottage joys are forgotten, and at home, nevertheless, there is a bunch of pretty pebbles that you just want to attach somewhere! Try handcraft with your child. This fascinating activity will not only diversify long winter evenings, but will also leave you wonderful souvenirs as a souvenir, at one glance at which your mood will rise.

What kind of crafts from sea stones can you think of? Yes, the most diverse! The list of ideas is almost endless! For example, you can make a gnome or even a whole family of gnomes (or housewives). If you perform them in the same style, then in New Year's celebration you can wonderfully decorate the apartment by seating the figures in the corners, under the tree, on the bookshelves, etc.

Craft technology

For work, save, in addition to pebbles, paints and brushes for them, superglue, a variety of materials for decor (what you can find) - scraps of fabric and fur, beads, threads or yarn, small feathers. Accessories in the shape of the "eyes" of characters are sold in sewing supply stores, but you can also replace them with colored beads or cute flat small buttons.

Pebbles must be thoroughly washed and dried before work. Glue your eyes on the "face" pebbles, you can draw noses or stick large beads or balls of wool instead of them. Smiling mouths are painted with paints or "laid out" from bright woolen threads. You can also draw them on colored paper, cut and glue them. After that, make the gnomes hair and beards from fur, thread, feathers or down - whatever is at hand.

The bodies of gnomes, like caps, can be easily made from colored patches, sewing them in the shape of a cone and filling them with something like cotton wool or scraps of synthetic resin. With the help of strong glue, the heads are attached to the bodies - funny figures are ready!

How to decorate a refrigerator

Every family with children has fridge magnets. But we will have unusual ones - made of pebbles! Let's make monster magnets. We paint flat pebbles, washed and dried, in bright colors on both sides. After drying, draw "monsters" creepy mouths with bared teeth and glue the eyes.

We attach a magnet on the back of each stone with superglue. If the stones are large and heavy enough - a pair of magnets. The original fridge decoration is ready!

Best of all, oval-shaped pebbles make bright fish, as well as birds with unusual plumage. You can also make a mouse. In addition to pebbles and super glue, prepare scissors, paper, and colored shreds. Ears and a tail for the future mouse are cut out of the fabric, glued in the right places on an oblong gray stone. Paws will serve as smaller pebbles, antennae - bundles of threads. Glue the eyes (you can pair them in the form of paper circles - the white ones are wider downwards, on them there are smaller black ones on top). So the cute mouse is ready.

If you prefer a bird, then take a more round pebble, make a beak from a cloth of a suitable color (fold the shred into a triangle with a sharp end, glue the pebble to the head with the wide side). Mark the eyes in the right place, take care of the plumage. Ready!

Creative aquarium

Best of all, fish are obtained from small oblong stones. Having made several pieces of different sizes, types and colors, you can organize an original decorative "aquarium" from a suitable box, complementing the composition with large "boulders" and "sea grass" made of thread or colored paper.

Another option is to "launch" our "fish" into a real aquarium with water as decorative elements (you have to take care of indelible paint and reliable materials for decoration).

So, we make fish. As usual, we wash the pebbles and dry them. With a simple pencil mark on each of them the contours of the fins, head, tail. We paint the fish in different colors, cut out the tails and fins and make them separately, then glue them to the bodies.

Any material is suitable for this - colored paper, strips of fabric, shiny foil, even a suitable feather shape. We also glue the eyes in the right places (we take ready-made decorative elements or just shiny convex beads).

Additional ideas

If the fish is supposed to be "launched" into the aquatic environment, then the tail and fins can be cut out of transparent plastic from unnecessary plastic bottles of different colors. This material is truly versatile. It is possible to obtain a variety of decorative elements from it, it is easily cut, processed and takes the desired shape.

For example, thin, long and slightly curling stripes will make a great tail for our "goldfish" (especially if you take a brown or yellow bottle). Small pieces of plastic will produce hard, sharp "fins" that can be glued to the backs of the fish.

A decorative aquarium can be filled with real plants in small pots, which are masked with the same sea ​​pebbles... And if, in addition, you organize a special lighting for it and carefully think over the composition, such an aquarium will decorate any room - a living room, an entrance hall or a children's corner.

In the section on the question Where do the stones come from ?? given by the author Calculate the best answer is Some kind of undeveloped question !! ! What stones?
1. If we are talking about natural stones, then it all depends on the type of stones. Some stones were formed from liquid lava, some were obtained by pressing in the strata of geological deposits, such as granite or sandstone ... some are formed by crystallization.
2. If we are talking about stones formed in our body (in the kidneys, in the gall bladder ...), then this is a completely different story! These stones are formed by crystallization. A person prone to the formation of stones in bile or urine has high concentrations of various salts (urates, oxalates ...) and as soon as the center of crystallization appears (it can be some kind of microbial body, or a piece of epithelium, or some other grain of sand) around salt immediately begins to settle on it. Most of the growing grains of sand are washed out of the bile (urine) of the excretory tracts, without having time to grow to a decent size. But some manage to get stuck in the bladder (gall or urinary) or in the renal ducts, pelvis, and grow. This is how stones in the kidneys and biliary tract are formed.
3. If your question is about stones in the garden, ask your neighbor. Most likely it was he who threw them over to you !!

Yeah, that's what you mean !! Well, here I can not say anything except general phrases. In my opinion, it happens like this:
1. Rocks are crumbling, with mudflows boulders rush down into the valleys. In valleys, under the influence of temperature, humidity, etc., boulders are destroyed into smaller fragments. This is how stones appear in the surrounding areas.
2. Breaking down further into smaller fragments, they turn into sand and clay, which are very easily carried by water even deeper into the lowlands, where they settle. The lower layers are compressed, hard rocks are again formed, which again, as a result of tectonic shifts, one day end up on the surface. Or they are brought to the surface by all river waters by washing out !! And again the process is repeated. Again the boulders fall apart into cobblestones, pebbles, sand ... all in a circle.
3. A man transports gravel and sprinkles it on the ground
4. Animals can tolerate
5. Rains wash away the soil, exposing previously applied stones. There are no more free symbols !!

Excellent rocky beaches with small pebbles, pleasant for feet, can be found in almost all resorts of Sochi: Lazarevskoye, Adler, Khosta, Centralny. The entrance to the water on these beaches is different, but in the most popular places for recreation, as a rule, there are no large stones with sharp edges, about which you can injure your feet.

Known for rocky beaches and some of the resorts related to Gelendzhik. So, pebble beaches prevail in the villages of Arkhipo-Osipovka and Divnomorskoye. The beaches on Tonky Cape, the Blue Wave sanatorium, and the Chernomorets and Kavkaz boarding houses are also strewn with pebbles with a small amount of sand. The quiet village of Dzhanhot, located not far from Gelendzhik, boasts a fairly clean rocky beach.

In the Tuapse region, lovers of pebbles are better off in the village of Novomikhaylovsky or Dzhubga. In Lermontovo, the beaches are strewn with pebbles mixed with sand, and in Olginka - with small washed pebbles.

You can find rocky beaches near Anapa. For example, the beaches "Vysoky Bereg" and "Malaya Bukhta" are strewn with stones and pebbles. In some places, entering the sea is quite dangerous, especially in wild areas.

Those who like to relax more on pebble beaches can also go to the Black Sea coast to Abkhazia.

Sandy beaches on the Black Sea

Good sand beach located in the city of Gelendzhik. Its length reaches 500 meters and its width is 30 meters. There are awnings, changing rooms and showers, a variety of beach equipment for rent. The entrance to the sea on the central beach of Gelendzhik is without sharp pits, but the depth grows rather quickly.

Many sandy beaches are located in Anapa and nearby. Dzhemete beach, which runs along Pionersky Prospekt, is strewn with fine, pleasant sand and has a smooth entrance to the sea, so it is good for the elderly or families to relax there.

The only negative is that there are a lot of people during the peak season, and the sea in the coastal zone at the end of summer often looks untidy due to a large number.

An excellent sandy beach is also located on the territory children's camp"Eaglet" in the Tuapse region and adjoining campsites. There is no promenade and a lot of entertainment, but the sea is often very clean even in high season. Upon entering the water, the depth increases very slowly.

In Ukraine, most of the beaches are also sandy. Lovers of fine sand are best off in Yalta, Evpatoria, Feodosia or Sevastopol.

Sandy beaches are the most popular among vacationers, in comparison with pebble or other types of beaches. It is the sandy beaches that are ideal for families with children and for those who are learning to swim. A clean bottom and soft sand - what else do you need for a wonderful waterside vacation? On the territory of Russia there are many excellent fine sandy beaches.

Black sea beaches

Crimea is so loved by many vacationers precisely for its excellent sandy beaches. Clean water and a bottom without sharp stones is another reason why a vacation in Crimea will be very comfortable.

The beaches of Donuzlav are considered the best. The sand protects the coastline from all kinds of damage, such as erosion and faults, therefore the integrity of these beaches is protected by law: it is forbidden to take sand from there for any purpose. Donuzlav's beaches begin from the village of Mirny and stretch towards Evpatoria on one side, and on the other, to the Baikal Spit. The settlements that are located on the gentle beaches of Donuzlav: Chernomorskoe, Olenevka, Zaozernoe, Popovka, Novo-Fedorovka, Shtormovoe, Mezhvodnoe; Cape Tarkhankut is also located on this territory. The beaches of Kalamitsky Bay are considered the best for families with children, as the water warms up quickly in them, and they are quite shallow.

If you prefer a beach holiday with a tent, then go to the villages of Olenevka or Mezhvodnoye. But remember that these are places for those who prefer green tourism. People keep the places where they camp clean.

Sandy beaches in Krasnodar Territory located in the area of ​​the village of Anapa. The sand is so very beautiful, golden and fine and also very clean. The beaches in Dzhemete are also an excellent option for families with children, as the bottom there is rather flat. The word “djemete” itself means “golden sands”.

Caspian, Azov and Baltic seas

The Azov Sea is very shallow, and its entire coastline is sandy. Also this sea is very warm.

The Caspian Sea is also famous for its sandy beaches. The best sandy beaches are located in the Volga delta, where Astrakhan is. There are often thermal springs near the beaches.

A very beautiful beach is located on the Baltic Sea - this is Curonian Spit in Kaliningrad. The beach is very wide and the sand is fine and light. Surround this splendor pine forests... But bathing season here it does not last long.

Lake beaches

Sandy beaches are also typical for lakes, on which some people prefer to rest on the sea. The most famous lake in Russia is Baikal. The most beautiful Baikal dunes, long wide beaches, pure water... The only drawback is that the water in Lake Baikal is rather cold, the lake does not warm up for pleasant swimming every year.

Lake Onega in Karelia has very beautiful sandy beaches. They are small, but they are encountered all the time.

Seliger - this place has become very popular as a tourist area. There are many beaches around the lake. There are both budget and luxury accommodation options.

I don't like pebble beaches, so I always opt for sandy beaches. Our Black Sea has not only a large selection of hotels and attractions, but also a huge selection of beaches. Anyone can find a coast to their taste here. It remains only to find out where there are rocky beaches on the Black Sea, and where are sandy ones.

Where there are rocky beaches on the Black Sea

Majority famous resorts have pebble beaches. For instance:

• Lazarevskoe;
• Kabardinka;
• Dzhubga;
• Resorts of Crimea;
• Resorts of Abkhazia.

I cannot swim on pebble beaches, but many people choose them for several reasons. Pros of pebble beaches:

• purity and transparency of water;
• stones and pebbles do not stick to the body like sand;
• better visibility underwater.

But pebbly and rocky beaches have not only advantages. Minuses:

• sharp stones;
• the risk of cutting your legs;
• stones and pebbles are very hot in the sun;
• the need to wear special slippers for swimming.

Not everyone wears special bathing slippers. For some, pebbles are a wonderful foot massager. But I still remember how the wave hit me right on the stones. It ended badly. The legs were bruised and cut. And I'm not the only one who has encountered this.

Where there are sandy beaches on the Black Sea

On the Black sea can be found without any problems sandy shores. Most of the sandy beaches are located in Anapa. You can find a good sandy beach in Gelendzhik. It is small (about 500 meters in length), but without pebbles. The sand is also very hot in the middle of the day, but it is easier to run on it without shoes. Try running without shoes over pebbles and rocks. Sandy beaches have their drawbacks. The disadvantages include the following:

• sand sticks to wet skin, especially sunscreen;
• the water is not so transparent, as the sand is constantly shaken up by people who swim in the sea;
• during the wind, the sand will fly into the eyes;
• algae grow on beaches where there is sand, not pebbles.

Sandy beaches are very good if you are traveling with a child... Children will be more comfortable swimming. The sand is safer for children. The child will not fall on stones, so the risk of injury is greatly reduced. For seniors, this is also a great beach... On such beaches, the entry into the water is smoother. If you are going to a sandy beach, then you do not need to bring special swimming shoes with you.

The Black Sea has a huge number of beaches. And you can always choose the beach that will be the most convenient and acceptable for you.

There are many curious people among our brother. There are also those who ask themselves the question: how much in Russian Black sea coast beaches ?! Some originals from among experts in geography argue that, they say, the entire coast of the sea is continuous big beach! And, here, the natives, that is, the inhabitants of the Black Sea region, categorically disagree with this statement, because the relief near the coast often changes - either a pebble or sandy strip, or a pile of stones, or suddenly an impressive rock or a whole series of inaccessible rocks descends into the sea from the land ... What kind of beaches are there ?! And, to be objective, the truth is on the side of the indigenous people of these places: the sea stretches far along the coast, but this is not a solid beach at all!

They got to the bottom of the truth only in Crimea - on the peninsula, it is estimated that eight hundred beaches - sandy, pebbly, rocky, while departmental (at some sanatoriums and boarding houses) publicly available as, for example, in Anapa and wild ones, including nudist ones like in the Koktebel region, Utrish and other coastal locations.
For those curious to get to the truth, we add that the Russian Black Sea coast has added kilometers to itself since 2014 - due to the return of Crimea to its historical homeland... If the entire coastline of the Black Sea is more than 3400 kilometers, then our share is 1.2 thousand (from 421 to 474, in fact, Krasnodar Territory plus 750 kilometers of the Crimean coast). By length coastline we are a little behind Turkey, but surpass Ukraine. Let's remind the same curious - the Black Sea coast in known values ​​is divided by five countries: Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Georgia. Now let's go directly to the beaches - in alphabetical order.

Such excellent beaches as the All-Russian health resort for families and children's recreation and the treatment of Anapa, not many coastal countries can boast. Their length is about seventy kilometers, of which 40 are a golden spill left in memory of the ancient Kuban River, which suddenly changed the old channel to a new one. And here the definition of the curious, that the coast - a continuous beach - will be in place. From the river Anapka itself, where it already continues Central beach and up to the village of Blagoveshchenskaya (more than 35 kilometers) a golden sandy strip stretches, and even, like in a desert, with dunes from three to twelve meters high, in places overgrown with branchy trees, giving a saving shadow to the whole family in the heat. The width of the beaches is from two tens of meters to two hundred with a hook behind the Anapka river and six hundred near the village of Blagoveshchenskaya. Anapa, Dzhemete, Vityazevo, Blagoveshchenskaya - along the entire length of the coast, the entrance to the beaches is free, although sanatoriums, boarding houses, children's health camps, recreation centers and so on go to them. From land to the sea, you have to walk not a single dozen meters until you are chest-deep - expanse for children and adults who cannot swim.

Taking into account the fact that the sun shines over the resort all 280 days a year, the water warms up quickly after the off-season, and you can swim in it next to the dolphins from late April to early November inclusive. The beaches are landscaped in a European manner - awnings, lifeguard wagons, toilets, of course, sun loungers and sun loungers, there are also those that turn after the sun, and an even tan is formed on your body. Doctors are on duty. Catamarans, "bananas", "pills", flights over the sea with parachutes - there are other attractions. At the border of the beach area - cafes, canteens, kiosks with soft drinks, ice cream, souvenirs. At the Central Beach there is a Summer Stage, where concerts of show business stars are held in the evenings with sold out houses.

There are pebbly and rocky beaches in Anapa. They start right behind the sandy one towards Malaya Bay, Mayak, and then Maloy and Bolshoy Utrish and stretch, count, for three dozen kilometers. Landscaped. And on Bolshoy Utrish, a dolphinarium with a theater under open air, where in the high season several performances are given a day in a row, and dolphins, after virtuoso fantastic performances, jump out of the sea onto the platform and willingly pose with the audience on a TV camera or camera, winking at you with smart and cheerful eyes. Pleasure boats leave the seaport and piers elsewhere on schedule. They are also accompanied by dolphins, in addition to seagulls, albatrosses and other birds, living by the sea, swimming in a familiar way in it.

The beaches of the resort Gelendzhik

The beautiful name of the resort town is beautiful and translates as "White Bride". Although its origins are rather sad. Once upon a time, the slave trade flourished here at the Gelendzhik Bay at the foot of the Markhotsky ridge. Foreign rulers specially sailed here for white-faced women, who were bought as slaves or taken as wives. Hence it came - "White Bride", by the way, on the Central Embankment stands a monument to her, visible even from the heights of the surrounding peaks. So, it is known for certain that the coastline stretches for almost a hundred kilometers. Beaches occupy twenty and a half of them. Do you dare ?! Slightly more than a fifth of the coast, other places are difficult to access: the Great Caucasus Mountains stretch along them, and the rocks come directly to the water or entered directly into the sea.
The best of the best is of course Central Beach. Covers an area of ​​five and a half hectares. It is more than a kilometer long, from three to eighty meters wide. And the total beach areas (large and small) in the resort, it is estimated, 114. The central artificial beach is used river sand... It starts from the beach of the Primorye hotel, stops at the sea station, and then continues to the Dolphin water park. Gelendzhik Bay looks like a huge horseshoe. Along it - 24 beaches: "Azure Coast", "Krucha", "Gardens of the Seas", wild "Sosnovka", "Sandy bottom" and others. By the way, Gelendzhik has the longest Embankment in the world - eight kilometers. She is especially beautiful from the height of the Markhot ridge, from its observation deck... And from the heights of two air chairlifts leading to its summit, moreover, over the famous Safari Park, in which wild animals are kept in free, free conditions, ranging from a light graceful deer to a tiger or the king of beasts - a formidable lion.

Gelendzhik has a lot resort areas- Arkhipo-Osipovka, Divnomorskoe, Kabardinka, near the Psharsky rural district - Beregovoe, Mikhailovskoe, Shirokaya Pshadskaya Shchel, Betta. As in neighboring Anapa, the beaches are well equipped with awnings, fungi, lifeguard houses, first-aid posts, near the coast water attractions, pleasure boats ply along the waves, in a word, you can not only sunbathe and swim from the heart, but also have fun. For lovers of sunbathing and diving in warm waves, but so that there are fewer people nearby, there is wild beaches- in the area of ​​Tolstoy Cape. Nudists are also at ease here.

Big Sochi beaches

Our southern capital in the zone of humid subtropics they call it that for a reason. The city stretches along the coastline for almost 145 kilometers. Of these, there are 118 beach areas. And there are as many as 130 beach areas! With small pebbles, admixture of sand, stony. Municipal free, wild and not equipped, closed at sanatoriums or at the same health resorts, but accessible to tourists. The Central Beach is popular, it is over a hundred meters long and -25-30 meters wide. Finely pebbled. Among the people beach area name is "SANTA BARBARA". It practically works around the clock - with cafes, restaurants, discos and so on.

Frequently visited by guests and local residents beaches - "Mayak", "Primorsky", "Solnechny", health resorts "Iskra", "Sputnik", "Green Grove" and others. Nudists usually gather on their favorite beach in the area of ​​Maly Akhun.

Like any large resort town on the Black Sea coast, near Greater Sochi, there are many recreation areas in municipalities. Actually, among Russians and guests from abroad, resort villages are well known - Matsesta, Magri, Makopse, Ashe, Lazorevskoe, Golovinka, Loo, Dagomys, Mamayka, Khosta, Kudepsta, etc. Of course, they all have well-equipped beaches. The central beach of Dagomys stretches for one and a half kilometers. It is 70-90 meters wide. With small pebbles and sandy patches. By the way, it is a stone's throw from Dagomys from Sochi. Do you want to go by train, if you wish - by regular bus or minibus, you can take a taxi. Of course, there are fewer people than in the city itself. And there are no less amenities - there is where to eat, what to swim on the shore or in the sea. Doctors are on duty, The beach of the resort village of Loo, adjacent to Dagomys, which can be reached by the same types of transport, is somewhat smaller - 600 meters and 65 meters wide. But it is also comfortable, and most importantly protected from the wind: rocks painted by local young artists approach it. In both villages there is a lot of private sector, mini-hotels, guest houses, so finding a roof over your head is a piece of cake! Nearby - sanatoriums and boarding houses, where you can get medical treatment for a course. It is also well known that life is not possible in the Black Sea at a depth of two hundred meters - below is hydrogen sulfide, which kills all living things. At the same time, it is also very useful - a mixture of it with water heals excellently. And this is convincingly proven in Matsesta. Here, hydrogen sulfide baths are used to treat cardiovascular, nervous, skin, ENT diseases, gynecology, and put in order your musculoskeletal system. And the beaches of Matsesta are different - narrow, wide, but all of small pebbles. There are even nudist ones.

Tuapse beaches

First of all, it must be borne in mind that the city has a large seaport... Therefore, it is somewhat noisy here. And the sea almost immediately goes deep from the coast. However, the resort has its own beaches, which are over 60 kilometers long. The width is different - from two, three meters to a spacious seventy. Most vacationers, quite naturally, flock to the Central Beach. It is quite roomy - it stretches for more than a kilometer, from the Tuapse river to the Vesna boarding house. Covered with fine gravel and pebbles. Landscaped. There is a rental of boats. Water and other attractions. You won't have to starve and be thirsty - next to the beaches there are cafes, canteens, kiosks with soft drinks, pastries, you can also try a kebab of chicken, fish, beef or pork. Rescuers strictly observe the behavior of tourists on the water, they will not be allowed into it while drunk, they will insure those who cannot swim.
Expansion on the beach in the village of Primorskoe! Local beach here they call "Wild". There are pebbles and boulders. The latter, by the way, love sunbathers. Perched on them, and lie calmly in the sun. Except sometimes, changing the position of the body. There are fewer people here, but not always. On weekends, residents are not averse to coming here on vacation, together with their children or grandchildren.
There is in the vicinity of Tuapse, well, just a charming place by the sea - Kiseleva rock. The view is amazing! Below, it seems like a naked wall, and on top of a dense forest of pines. Nearby there are stone piles. But the descent into the water is gentle. It is comfortable for kids and those who do not know how to swim.

Taman beaches

The Taman Peninsula in the Krasnodar Territory is a legendary place. Since 2001, it has received the status of an All-Russian health resort due to the presence of large deposits of medicinal mud here. There are almost four dozen active or extinct mud volcanoes here. Taman (name in the distant past Tmutarakan) - the most unique place on the ground: in the Kerch Strait, two seas - the Black and the Azov seas - are thrown into each other's arms. Remember the fairy tale poem by Alexander Pushkin "Ruslan and Lyudmila"? The famous "Lukomorye has a green oak"? All this is on Taman. And the village of Taman itself stands on the shores of two seas. By the way, Black Sea resorts on Taman they occupy a small territory - along the coast they are located only twenty kilometers away. The main one is the village of Taman with a population of just over nine thousand. A staircase leads to the beach - in miniature Potemkinskaya, in the cheerful city of Odessa. Wonderful sandy beach. There are not so many people on it, but this is wonderful: no one bothers anyone. Eight kilometers from Taman is the Volna village. Stands in a high place. The sea view is amazing! We went down to the beach, feet are buried in soft hot sand. The water is pure - it is not in vain that dolphins come here, who cannot stand the slightest pollution! Great fishing off the coast and at sea. All opportunities for diving and other marine extreme species sports. A dozen and a half from Volna is another resort village Veselovka. Wonderful sandy beach. Long and wide. There is no need to talk about the Bugaz Spit - it stretches fifteen kilometers to the Blagoveshchenskaya. It is, as it were, one whole with the golden sprinkle of Anapa.

By the way, there is a salt lake in Veselovka. In summer, it sometimes dries up, but they use its mud. It also heals skin diseases and ailments of the locomotor system. And the lake water itself is curative.

And a little more about luck. Coast from Temryuk to Kerch Strait with a length of one hundred kilometers, it is not for nothing that they are called the Azov Riviera.

And can you resist the temptation to immediately bathe in both of them on your vacation ?! On the way, admiring the valley of the lotuses and diving into mud volcanoes Tizdar and and Sinyaya Balka ?!

Crimea beaches

Having returned to the bosom of Russia, to its historical homeland, the Crimean peninsula has at its disposal half a thousand resort zones. The length of its beaches exceeds 343 kilometers, from twelve to twenty-five meters wide, in some places they are wider than that, and there are about eight hundred of them in total. All the beaches of the Crimea, as well as the Kuban, are medicinal: in the off-season, the sea with its storms literally shovels them and saturates them with its useful salts. The beaches will cure your sciatica, rheumatism, musculoskeletal system, skin and other diseases. They have a beneficial effect on the nervous, cardiovascular system, bronchi, and lungs. Beautiful beaches is in resort villages Koktebel, Ordzhonikidze, Beregovoy, Primorsky, Feodosia, not to mention such seaside towns like Sudak, Yalta, Evpatoria or Feodosia.

There are several well-maintained beaches in Yalta with its world-famous children's health camp "Artek", in which more than twenty thousand children both from Russia itself and from near and far abroad rest and receive treatment per year. The priority is the Massandrovsky beach. Its width reaches 35 meters, its length is kilometers. There are two zones - for VIPs with enhanced comfort and for decent money and three zones are free. Life on the beach is in full swing in the literal sense of the word around the clock. Day and night cafes, restaurants, discos, rental work. People return home exhausted but deafeningly satisfied with photos on mobile phones and stories on movie cameras. There is nice beaches at the boarding houses "Actor", "Donbass", at the yacht-club "Yalta", in the suburbs - "Nikitsky" and others.
