The village of Kuchugury on the shores of the Sea of Azov is a quiet and peaceful place for a relaxing holiday. The beaches in the village of Kuchugury and the surrounding area are sandy, long, with a gentle, comfortable bottom. The area around is incredibly picturesque and unlike the south Krasnodar Territory with mountains and an abundance of greenery. The typical landscape of this part of the Azov coast is extended steppes, vineyards, dunes and mud volcanoes.
The name of the village stands for “sandy hillocks”.

Tourists with older children will be bored - there is no entertainment at the resort, except for the playground. Also, the disadvantages include frequent winds - swimming during such periods is dangerous.
The beaches of the village of Kuchugury on the Sea of Azov
Most of the beaches are wild. The exception is the central Kuchugur beach, as well as beach areas near local hotels and resorts. Some sites can only be reached by car - they are separated by steep dunes and hills from other beaches.
Central beach
The second name of the Central Kuchugur beach is “Sand placer”. The beach stretches for 1 km along Beregovaya Street. The beach is covered with sand mixed with coquina. There are several isolated areas on the beach, where recreation is intended for those living in the Golubaya Bukhta sanatorium or for visitors to the Priboy cafe. In addition to the main descent to the beach from the village, there are also stairs from Krasnaya and Gagarina streets. Going down without stairs is problematic, especially with children - the beach is located behind a rather steep hill. Sun loungers can be rented on some stretches of the beach, but most holidaymakers sunbathe on their own mats and towels. There is a shower, changing cabins, toilets.
V summer time attractions for children are installed on the beach: inflatable slides and trampolines. More adult entertainment is represented by riding a water bike, "cheesecake" or banana, as well as paragliding. During the day, vendors of hot corn, pies and other fast food walk along the beach. The beach cafe offers set meals at reasonable prices.
Beach "Primorskaya embankment"
On the southeast side, Central Beach flows into a wider stretch of beach. The entry to the sea here is even shallower, but the slopes to the beach are almost not equipped. In some places, the height of the dunes reaches 2 meters. It is more convenient to go down to the Central Beach and then go southeast along the sea. In some places, the beach is completely wild - sometimes they ride a buggy here or spontaneously form grounds for team games.
Gagarinsky beach
The beach continues Central, but goes beyond the village. It is less comfortable and, as a result, less crowded. You can also rent beach equipment, use showers, changing rooms and public restrooms. There is a point on the beach water entertainment, which offers banana and pill rides, speed boats and scooters.
Wild beaches
Kuchugury are famous for their wild beaches: wide, with soft sand. One of the most popular wild beaches, Cape Pekla Beach, is a 15-minute walk away. It gained popularity thanks to the nearby mud volcano - after treatment procedures tourists descend to the beach to wash off the mud and soak up the sun.
Tourists by car can reach an extended wild beach (3 km in length) between Kuchugury and the village of Za Rodinu. The beach is narrow (on average, 25 meters wide), but the sand is perfect: no shell rock, fine, as if sifted. Due to the absence of crowds of tourists, the beach is very clean and quiet.
Nude beach
There is no official nudist beach in Kuchugury. But, since there are many wild beaches in the vicinity, you can choose a secluded area. It is better to swim and sunbathe without clothes in the afternoon, in the late afternoon - Kuchugury and the nearest villages are considered family resorts, tourists with children may be outraged by this behavior.
Reviews 2020
There are both positive and negative reviews about the beach in Kuchugury. Most tourists like the fact that the beaches are sandy, and the entrance to the sea is smooth, with a flat bottom. The Kuchugury beach is located on the Sea of Azov, which means that the water here warms up faster than in the coastal zone of the Black Sea. Food and entertainment on the beach is inexpensive. Lodging in the private sector and mini-hotels are also budgetary. It is quiet in the evenings - loud music does not disturb the guests of the village. Since the village is small, the road to the beach does not take long.
Many tourists agree that the village is very boring. From the photo of the beach and the village of Kuchugury, it is noticeable that the infrastructure is poorly developed. The village is quite small, cafes and restaurants are extensions to private residential buildings. Souvenirs and beach equipment are sold in the courtyards. There are no unusual, prominent locations for the photo. The beach in Kuchugury is separated from the village by an earthen rampart overgrown with wild grasses - many tourists note that it looks untidy. In the photo of Kuchugur beach you will not find the embankment, although there are references. The embankment of the resort is an ordinary dirt road, overgrown with weeds along the edges.
In general, rest on the beaches of Kuchugur of the Krasnodar Territory is more like a village one. Tourists looking for solitude and lack of city bustle will love it. For lovers active rest it will be boring. Alternatively, rent a car and explore the sights of Taman.

There are also several sanatoriums, boarding houses and campgrounds, but they are all modern and run by small businesses. So the Soviet "unobtrusive" service is not to be found there. True, the services do not shine with special sophistication. Everything is at the level necessary for a comfortable stay. Rest in Kuchugury at prices for 2020 can be attributed to the middle value segment. Azov resorts are less expensive compared to the Caucasus, and Kuchugury is no exception. Although in the table of ranks of the Taman resorts, the village belongs to the most expensive.

What to do on vacation
Coming to rest in Kuchugury, you should remember that apart from the sea, sun and beaches, there is no special entertainment in the village itself. But many are organized sightseeing tours along Taman and even on the Caucasian coast, which make it possible to compensate for this. The only thing that you must visit first of all is the mud volcano Plevak, which is on the Pekla cape near the village. Interesting a natural phenomenon, especially if you haven’t experienced anything like this before. To visit the "cool" water attractions, we advise you to go to the neighboring Golubitskaya, to the Amazon water park - the largest in Azov. There is also a crocodile farm nearby, which is worth visiting. If you want to learn more about the life of the Kuban Cossacks, then go straight to the ethnographic museum complex "Ataman".
