Sochi has no analogues. This unique resort is transforming every day, gradually becoming the center of world tourism. Winter Olympics legacy combined with stunning geographic location continue a new era in the history of this amazing city. The appearance of a modern metropolis does not interfere with wonderful landscapes. Mountain ranges with snow-white peaks gaze serenely at the sea. Palms and banana trees are located near the legendary sports facilities. Winter starts five years ago entered the chronicle of the "white games" not only thanks to the success of our national team, but also due to the very venue of the competition. Southern flora and subtropical climate rarely accompany such forums. It would seem that a fantastic adventure eventually turned into an outstanding triumph (and not only for the winners, but also for the organizers). It is as if a newly created city is still reaping the fruits of the recent past. The arenas are functioning, and the hotel complexes, as before, are filled with a diverse audience. In a word, today this brilliant ensemble amazes its guests with a rich program and the pristine beauty of the landscape.
I'll take you, I'll take you to Sochi
The status of an international resort was won, including with the help of a developed infrastructure in the field of transport. Both bus and train, as well air traffic here at the highest level. The airport in Adler is one of the main "arteries" of the region, and trains run throughout all districts of the city, up to the legendary ski resorts.
An airport. Adler
Some tourists assume that Adler airport is located far from civilization, and in order to get to Sochi it is necessary to spend a considerable amount of time. In fact, the place with a sonorous name is part of the famous spa town.
- It will take about an hour to get to the center of Sochi from the airport by taxi (cost from 500 to 1000 rubles)
- The airport is located five minutes walk from the beach
- There are public transport stops near the airport building
Railway
The railway, as we have already said, is laid through the whole city. She goes through all the known resort areas... Trains long distance and high-speed "swallows" will allow you to be at the desired station.
- The cost of a ticket to the "swallow" from Krasnodar will not exceed 600 rubles
- Long-distance trains stop not only at the Sochi station, but also in almost all famous resorts cities
- From some stations to the sea, the path will be no more than 7 minutes, and to the ski slopes no more than 15.
Bus and car
The presence of high-quality roads in Sochi allows you to travel from anywhere in the country. The track of the European level, naturally, has a positive effect on the desire of tourists to visit the "famous health resort" by a personal car or by other vehicle.
- Intercity buses finish their journey at the Sochi station (at the railway platform of the same name)
- Many go to Sochi by car
- The quality of the track allows you to make a trip even on a motorcycle
Good weather? Yes! This is Sochi!
The combination of climatic elements freed Sochi from the seasonal framework. The evergreen city has now turned into a winter resort. The temperature is not very low. Consequently, pirouettes on the ski slope are accompanied by the sun. What can we say about the summer period?
- Bathing season in Sochi starts in the debut of May
- Ski slopes operate without interruption for summer rest
- In winter, the temperature can reach 20 degrees, and in summer 35
Is this a suite?
The fairly wide location of Sochi guarantees an incredible range of prices. In addition, a lot depends on the intentions of the visitor. Someone wants to indulge in resort vaudeville (the city has turned into the capital of nightlife), someone wants to be closer to the coast, and someone aspires to the foot of the mountains. Abundance leads to polarizing perceptions of the cost of living. However, do not be intimidated by the grandiose price list.
- The cost of budget apartments near the coast ranges from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles per day per person
- In the private sector, prices start at 800 rubles
- Tourist houses in ski resorts offer prices from 1800 per day
A resort for everyone
As described above, Sochi is methodically moving away from the concept of high season. In the sense that legendary resort attracts tourists at any time of the year. However, one should not deny the existence of excitement in a certain period. Holidays and the vacation time cannot be canceled. Naturally, a trip to the Black Sea is generally preferred not during the January celebrations, but a voyage to ski slopes are unlikely to be adequately perceived in July.
- The most popular beaches in Sochi are Adler and Lazarevskoe
- On Sochi beaches, a combined surface with the advantage of pebbles
- Famous ski resort Krasnaya Polyana will suit both professionals and amateurs. The best time to go here is January
This is something
Looking for any sightseeing in the city is a rather strange undertaking. Sochi itself can be called a masterpiece of urban planning. Sensation European resort and fantastic pictures, striking the viewer along the entire perimeter of the region, make this very alliance a real relic. The natural monolith and architecture of modern times have transformed the main health resort of the Krasnodar Territory. Of course, the Olympic capital has blossomed like an ugly duckling. Although, even before the grandiose construction, it looked very dignified. Memories of the old species are still alive, but they remain less and less. Nowadays, guests of the “southern metropolis” prefer to make pilgrimages to the buildings of the current era.
- The legacy of 2014, in the form of Olympic Park, is the main place for excursion walks
- Loo offers tourists a grandiose water park
- The ride on the cable car to the possession of Krasnaya Polyana also does not depend on the season

Why go on vacation abroad if there are so many places in Russia where you can spend your vacation. A very beautiful, warm and hospitable city of Sochi! This is the pearl of Russia. There is a wide variety of entertainment and amenities for tourists. There is only one drawback that can spoil the long-awaited vacation a little, we will learn about it later in the article.
"Deuce" in geography
Sochi is one of the longest cities in the world, which is located on the Black Sea coast. He is very unique. Here you can swim in the gentle sea (season April - November), then sunbathe, and after an hour or two go skiing and throw snowballs on famous grief Krasnaya Polyana. And how many cypresses and palms in the city! Blooming oleander with magnolia is a miracle. It is not a bad time to spend time in a gorge by a mountain river, to breathe in the wonderful air of the mountains. And in 40-50 minutes go back to the sea.
Actually, it is to this blue surface that many come here. What happens? People in Sochi hoped to lie on the yellow and warm sand in order to return home with a beautiful skin color. But in reality they were just exhausted, their legs were peeled off on sharp stones. It was especially difficult to get out of the water over the pebbles.
Yes, apparently they had a "two" in geography at school. Its natural sand due to its peculiarities mountainous terrain in the city no. All beaches are covered with pebbles. So when asked where in Sochi there is a sandy beach, you will be told that it does not exist, there are only small such areas.
Walking on pebbles
To begin with, we will walk along the Can independently still a sandy beach in Sochi. Here is "Primorsky" (near the Central Embankment). It is pebble and rocky. Maybe we can find what we are looking for on the Riviera? The shore here is spacious, roomy, but also covered with small pebbles, in some places - with sand. The question of where the sandy beach is in Sochi remains open.
"Swallow" (microdistrict "Mamayka") is all strewn with small stones. "Lazurny" is always ready to meet tourists in summer time... There are comfortable sun loungers and sun loungers, otherwise those who come will have to lie on hard pebbles under the well-baking southern sun. This is also not the place where the sandy beach in Sochi is.
"The Seagull" pleases clean water sea and amazing views of the mountain peaks, comfortable beach. It is the largest in the city (located in the Adlersky region). Its area is 30 thousand square meters. Here is what you need for the best rest, even a post of rescue and medical center. And the beach is pebbly. True, wooden decks are carefully placed everywhere so that people do not walk on hot stones and scorching sand.
Have you come on vacation with small children? Go to the "Mayak", where the pebbles are quite small and there are sand and pebble areas.
All coastal areas in the city do not have solid sand. So you can hardly get a positive answer to the question of where the sandy beach is in Sochi. What to do? I have an idea!
Outside the city
We must drive off a little and see where the sandy beaches are. Here, for example, that for 18 km. It boasts clean sea and spacious beaches. But they are also sandy and pebble. And if someone did not manage to take a place on the sand in the morning, then you will toil on the pebbles. The village of Vardane is 30 kilometers away. This is an excellent resort with excellent facilities and service. But the shore is again made of stones.
To find out where in the Sochi area there are sandy beaches and a clear sea, let's go to Golovinka - this is in Lazarevsky district... Here the Black Sea water area is considered the most unpolluted.
Curious story
Where did these smooth, sharp, small and large pebbles on the beaches of Sochi come from? And these are mountain rivers and rivulets that have eroded the Caucasus Mountains for centuries and carried various debris, boulders, and slabs to the Black Sea. The sea continued to grind and grind them. 70 million years. They grew and formed during the eruption of lava. After all, the local mountains are volcanoes that are already extinct. Pumice is solidified magma filled with air, and therefore light. There are also tuffs, basalts, which simply froze at the exit from the vent. They are heavier than pumice, but, of course, lighter than granite. By the way, it can also be found on the beaches.
Souvenir
Granite pebbles are beautiful in a special way. Take a few of these pebbles as a keepsake. Basalts can also be found underfoot. There are also just decorative stones, and even semiprecious ones. Add chalcedony flint here. About him healing properties now healers tell with might and main.
And on the coast and on the same beaches you can see stones with holes, sometimes with through holes. This means that the sea mollusk has already worked. They say that finding such a pebble is fortunate. Therefore, do not be very upset that you did not manage to lie on the beach the way you wanted.
On the golden sand
But everything flows, everything changes. Quite recently, in the area of the Imeretinskaya lowland, a completely new beach... Its area is like three football fields. Almost a thousand people can sunbathe at the same time. Here you will receive the long-awaited answer to your question, where are the sandy beaches in Sochi. Photos selected for the article will confirm this.
The construction of the beach began recently - in April 2015. All kinds of necessary work and ended up with landscape design and landscaping. The fact is that this beach is artificial, loose. Since their sand in Sochi is not mined due to the peculiarities of the rocky relief, they brought here no less than 11 thousand tons of special gold. It was chosen from 15 samples that were searched both in Russia and abroad. In particular, in Africa, as the beach workers themselves said. This unusual cargo to the Black Sea railroad transported 160 wagons. Each contained 70 tons.
On a sandy surface, of course, it is better to rest, although there is a minus: vacationers will still have to enter the sea on pebbles.
Two levels of pleasure
The new beach consists of two sites: coastal and main. The first can accommodate 200 people and is located right by the sea. The second is 30 m from the sea coast. The lower terrace houses the entrance area, sports and dance floors, and a small town for kids. On the upper one there is a cafe plus terraces (for 700 sun loungers). There is also a territory of special, enhanced service: additional services and services, there is a jacuzzi.
We are not talking about showers and toilets - these are trifles, as well as a medical center with a rescue service.
Here you can spend the whole day with the whole family or with friends - they will not rush anyone. Residents of the area pay 200 rubles / day for this luxury, newcomers - 400.
Quite a few people have already been here. Rumors about this amazing structure are constantly growing. Now you can explain to everyone interested where in Sochi there are sandy beaches and a clear sea.
Many dreamed of visiting Sochi, swimming, sunbathing, but not on the rocks, of course, but on the soft sand. From now on, all this is quite real for them.

How to get there
The resort is located on the Black Sea coast in the Western Caucasus region and is part of the Krasnodar Territory. Greater Sochi starts from Lazarevskoye, which is also called "Lazarevka" and stretches to Adler. In fact, these are all the microdistricts of the city, although many consider them as separate resorts. In the south of Sochi are the resorts of Abkhazia - Gagra, Pitsunda, Sukhum. And in the north, Sochi borders on Tuapse.
You can get to Sochi by any means of transport. Most often, vacationers come by train. It's cheaper. Trains from 15 cities of Russia go to the city, so it will not be difficult to choose the one that passes through your city. For those who do not want to waste time on moving (the fastest train from Moscow - 28 hours), 20 daily flights are offered (plane from Moscow - 2 hours). Aeroflot, Transaero, UTair and other airlines fly to Sochi from different regions.
General information and history
From a municipal point of view, this is not very Big city... It is strongly elongated along the coast, while in depth, with the exception of the Central Region, it goes insignificantly. Although, this is typical for all coastal resort towns. The population, which permanently resides here, is about 400,000 people, although in fact the city is 4-5 times more at the expense of visitors. And there is enough space for everyone. The city (Big Sochi) consists of 4 districts, the largest of which is Central. It is in it that all those who travel directly to Sochi, and not to Adler or Lazarevskoe, are concentrated.
The city has a long history. Although the name was first mentioned in written documents in 1641, people in these territories lived in ancient times. The word "Sochi" itself came from one of the Old Caucasian languages, and has a number of interpretations, for example, "fir" or "the country of Sidi Pasha". An unambiguous etymology has never been established.
Active rest and excursions
In addition to the beach and wellness complexes, it is also a place to play sports. It is not for nothing that it became the capital of the Winter Olympic Games. But even for non-professionals in Sochi, there are many opportunities for skiing and other sports.
Formula 1 races are also held here, for which a special track was built in the Olympic Park.
The city never sleeps. The entertainment industry offers all kinds of leisure activities for any financial opportunity. The city hosts many fashion, film and music festivals, such as the fashion show " Velvet seasons".
