Photo and video of the resorts of the Azov sea. Map and description

There are many beautiful cities and resorts in our country for recreation in winter, summer, spring and autumn. Unfortunately, not everyone recognizes this and, according to some tradition, prefer to fly abroad to sunbathe in August and go skiing in January. But why, we have stunning seas: Black, Azov, Caspian. It so happened that the resorts of the Azov Sea in Russia are not as popular as the neighboring ones on Black Sea coast... This is due to the bad reviews about the rest, about dirty water and not very beautiful natural landscapes. But these are just reviews, and if you yourself visited the shores of the Sea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bAzov, you would understand - this gorgeous place and rest here is no worse than in other places in the world. And here beautiful nature, which only we have - in Russia.

Photos of the Azov Sea resorts in Russia

The largest and most popular resort city on the Sea of ​​Azov is Yeisk. He is as popular as he is not loved. Someone admires him, someone after the first trip shouts: I will not return here again! And someone is indifferent: rest is the same everywhere.

We will not agitate you to come here on vacation, but we will list the advantages of the resort and its possible disadvantages. First, it is the sea. It is shallow, so it warms up quickly. So you can come here with children, they will definitely not freeze. But on the other hand, the warmed sea blooms faster and becomes dirty. Therefore, the season here may end early enough.

People come to Yeisk not only for the beaches and the sea, but also for health improvement. There are amazing mud spas that help to get rid of many diseases. The variety of beaches is also amazing. There are sandy beaches, pebbly and rocky ones. And each beach is surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery.
It is also worth noting that in terms of the availability of recreation, the resort is constantly included in the top five cheapest places for recreation. So if you want to relax at sea, get medical treatment and save money, then you are here.

As we already mentioned. Yeisk is the only one Big city on the Azov coast, the rest of the resorts are small villages and towns.

The village of Golubitskaya is one of such places. This small resort always ranks among the ten most famous summer resorts in Russia. And the "fault" of the beaches. Here they are sandy and mixed with small shell rock and enriched with minerals. The air is saturated with iodine and is very beneficial for health and breathing. Despite the fact that the coast is not completely sandy, the bottom of the sea is only sand.

Vineyards grow near the resort. Lake Golubitskoye is one of the favorite vacation spots for tourists. Here you can swim and take free therapeutic mud baths. There are no large water park and a dolphinarium.

The next resort is the village of Dolzhanskaya. This place is just perfect for a quiet and relaxing holiday. This is a small town and there isn't much to do. But here is untouched nature and beautiful landscapes from everywhere.

The place is also unique because local beach located on the spit. And the spit goes 11 kilometers far into the sea. If you can walk the spit completely, you will find yourself alone far from the coast. The whole spit and partly the beach is made of sand with shell rock. There are also many minerals and healthy air.

Since there is no entertainment here, vacationers love walking along pine forest and across the steppe, where flowers and medicinal herbs grow. The trip can be on foot, on horseback or on bicycles.

Look at the map of Russia, on which we have marked the resorts of the Azov Sea.

Kuchugury is a sandy beach with golden sand and very small shell rock. The sea near the coast is always clean and warm. Kuchugury is a place for recreation with children.

Orchards with fruits grow near the village, and locals we are always glad to offer our guests fresh fish just caught in the sea. In the center of the resort there is a small children's park with entertainment. There are many children playing and having fun.

As you can see, the resorts on the Sea of ​​Azov are quite decent. And most importantly, there is clean air, warm sea, and you can be treated just by being near the water on the beach.

This material is intended to illuminate main features of the Sea of ​​Azov... Starting from geographic location and natural data, and ending specific resorts and the cities of the coast.

The shallowest sea in the world and the warmest sea in Ukraine

The Sea of ​​Azov - the Meotian Lake among the ancient Greeks, Karluk - among the Scythians, the Dark Blue Sea - among the Arabs, the Fish Sea - among the Tatar-Mongols, has been known for a long time and does not lose popularity today. Every year tens of thousands of tourists spend their weekends and vacations on its coast - and this is only in domestic resorts.

The Azov Sea is the shallowest sea in the ocean basin and the warmest in Ukraine.

The maximum depth of the reservoir does not exceed 13.5 meters, and the average indicator is about 7.4 meters, so the sea warms up quickly enough and the water temperature near the coast is already by mid-May often reaches marks + 18 ° С... It was at this time that a full-fledged beach season, which usually lasts almost until the end of September. At the height of summer, the surface water layer has a temperature of + 26 ... + 28 ° С, and sometimes even above + 30 ° С.

The natural features of Azov made the reservoir popular among tourists. A relatively long holiday season - about five months, traditionally warm water, gentle and smooth descent into the sea - these are the main advantages of the Azov recreation.

Some of them are popularly called the old-fashioned children's and "all-Union" health resorts, and Kirillovka was even given the official status of "Resort of State Significance".

Map of resorts and the Sea of ​​Azov on the map

This map shows main resort towns on the Azov coast of Ukraine and Russia. For the most relevant resorts in Ukraine on click a link will appear on the label detailed review with a description of the infrastructure, features of recreation, photos, etc.

The Azov Sea geographically and climatically

The Azov Sea in geography is a semi-enclosed sea Atlantic Basin and the most continental on the planet - in terms of distance from the ocean, located within two countries - Ukraine (territorially - Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson regions, northern East Coast Crimean peninsula) and Russia ( Krasnodar region, Rostov region).

In comparison with other seas, for example, the Black Sea (with which it is connected through the Kerch Strait - approx.), The Azov is a rather small body of water: its maximum length is about 380 km, its width is about 200 km, and the total length coastline does not exceed 1500 km.

Most of the coast of the Sea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bAzov is flat, shallow-shell beaches. The only exceptions are coastal hills of volcanic origin, which can be seen in the southern part of the reservoir.

Climate of the Azov Sea It is very strongly influenced by the vast steppe massifs that surround it from almost all sides both within Ukraine and in the Ciscaucasia and Crimea - with their characteristic low rainfall - an average of 300-500 mm per year.

Therefore, in the resorts of the Sea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bAzov, rains are a rare and short-term phenomenon, like cloudiness - especially in summer time, which is very pleasing to tourists and creates good conditions for beach holiday.

Local circulation is established on the coast in summer air masses in the direction from sea to land - during the day, and from land to sea - at night. These are the well-known breezes that soften even the extreme midday heat. That is why the usual summer air temperature for these latitudes is + 28 ... + 30 ° С and the peak - up to + 45 ° С on the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov is transferred much easier and more comfortable than in city streets.

Azov resorts can boast of high sun activity - for example, in Kirillovka the sunshine time is about 2320 hours a year, which exceeds this figure for the Crimean Yalta.

Features of the coast

The coast of the Azov Sea forms very bizarre shapes and has unusual boundaries. The braids that Azov abounds in formed many estuaries and smoother along the sea coast.

The coastline itself is gentle and smooth, however, many protruding braids give it a rugged appearance.

In some places, the steppes approach the sea, in some places the coast has steep clay slopes washed away by the sea, in some places there are marshy flat areas and, of course, in uncrowded places you can find abundant thickets of reeds.

Plots of forest practically do not border on the sea coast, so the nature here is not as picturesque as, for example, in the Crimea, and at the height of summer it even takes the form of a steppe scorched by the sun. Small plantations of trees are usually either artificial plantings or abundantly overgrown shrubs.

Webcams on the coast

The landscape of the Azov Sea beach area can be seen with the help of webcams installed on the coast. For example, below is a webcam located on the Peresyp spit in the Zaporozhye region.

Fishing

As noted above, the Sea of ​​Azov is warm and shallow. It was these conditions that provided him at one time with a fairly active reproduction of flora and fauna. Azov was the world leader in terms of the number of plant and animal organisms, and the fish productivity of the sea (the ratio of the total amount of fish to the area of ​​the reservoir) was 40 times higher than the corresponding indicator of the Black Sea and more than 6 times that of the Caspian Sea.

Until recently, the Sea of ​​Azov was considered an inexhaustible treasure for fishing - industrial, amateur, sports. Gobies, flounder, beluga, sturgeon, thorn, stellate sturgeon, ram, herring - all this was far from complete list gifts of the depths of the sea.

But due to the consumer attitude to the sea, the population of many fish species has decreased, and some have even added to the list of endangered ones. so despite the good natural conditions Azov today is systematically losing the fame of the most "fishy" sea.

Today, in the area of ​​Kirillovka, only the Azov goby, or in some cases the pilengas, has remained the subject of real fishing.

Recreational effect and health improvement

The coast of the Sea of ​​Azov is not only a popular holiday destination, but also an effective air ionic health resort, working through a combination of healing factors created by nature itself.

The air near Azov is a kind of cocktail that is saturated iodine, bromine, minerals and trace elements- due to active evaporation of water from the surface of the sea and estuaries and phytoncides brought by winds from the steppe massifs.

Provided that there is no industrial enterprises and highways with heavy traffic, such a mix can have a general healing effect and alleviate conditions with acute respiratory viral infections, chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract and allergic reactions.

The composition of the Azov sea water is also unique in many ways. It contains over 90 chemical elements that have a beneficial effect on the human body. In the bottom layer there is deposits of curative sulphide silt mud formed during the decay of marine flora and fauna. Due to the shallow depth of Azov, even a slight sea agitation turns water into a suspension of mud, and sea bathing - into a health-improving procedure, indicated for diseases of the skin, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and nervous systems.

By the way, there is also mud in the sea that is useless and often harmful to health - there is enough of it near the shores of industrial cities and ports.

Useful mud is found not only in the sea, but also in estuaries- salt bays, which are in sufficient quantity in the Azov basin.

The mud of the estuaries is the basis for functioning balneological hospitals located in Kirillovka, Berdyansk and other resorts on the Sea of ​​Azov - both in Ukraine and in Russia. In these institutions, vacationers, or rather patients, can be offered treatment that can improve metabolism, correct and stabilize the state of the peripheral nervous system, alleviate asthma and chronic respiratory diseases, after injuries and exacerbations of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, get rid of gynecological and urological problems.

Holidays with children on the Sea of ​​Azov

Children's resort - this is how almost every Azov region can be characterized. On the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, the main conditions for the implementation of a proper holiday with children are fulfilled:

Mild climate, lack of acclimatization

The weather in the Azov resorts is sunny days, a sea breeze that softens the summer heat and a breeze that constantly brings new portions of phytoncides from the steppes and ions of iodine, bromine - from the sea to the coast.

Unlike a trip to the Mediterranean coast and the same South Coast, those who come to Azov do not actually go through the acclimatization period, unless, of course, they are residents of the Far North. That is why rest on the Sea of ​​Azov in resorts remote from industry can be useful for children of almost any age, up to newborns.

Warm water, smooth descent into the sea

As mentioned above, Azov is a shallow sea, so sea water has a comfortable bathing temperature already in May, and in summer the water is "like fresh milk", which is very suitable for kids who sit in the sea for hours. In addition, in most of the Azov resorts, there is a sandy coastal strip that does not injure children's feet, and the deepening of the sea is gradual - somewhere more dynamic, somewhere less, but without underwater pits and sharp cliffs.

Familiar food

An important aspect for those who take their children on vacation and make sure that the vacation passes without unpleasant reactions to unfamiliar food that is not specific to our latitudes. Plus - here you can buy seasonal vegetables and fruits grown in the Azov villages, the use of which can replenish the vitamin supply of children and increase immunity.

Pricing policy of the Azov resorts

It is well known that in most of the Azov resorts you can find almost any number- from economy option without amenities to premium or VIP-class housing, accordingly, the price of a vacation can differ significantly.

In addition, the cost of matching numbers may be sufficient different depending on the region... The Azov coast is characterized by a division into inexpensive and expensive resorts.

The main factors for such a pricing are the popularity, "promotion" of recreation, the development of infrastructure, the availability of entertainment facilities and the convenience of transfer.

"Inexpensive" rest

Relax inexpensively on the Sea of ​​Azov within the framework of Ukraine, for example, in Stepanovka Pervaya, Primorsk, Primorsky Posad - without special requests for organizing leisure.

These resorts are purely beach and virtually devoid of infrastructure and entertainment.

Recreation of the middle price category

The most popular resort in the Ukrainian Azov region is Kirillovka, which has all the conditions for tourists not to get bored - a large water park, a dolphinarium, an equestrian theater, an amusement park, a sufficient number of nightclubs, discos, cafes.

Since the high demand for vacations leads to an increase in prices, Kirillovka in this regard has been holding the lead among the Ukrainian resorts of the Azov Sea for many years.

Melekino

The resort village 35 kilometers from Mariupol is also questionable in terms of the ecological cleanliness of the coast, as it is located not far from the city and industrial giants.

The advantages of Melekino include the proximity of housing to the beaches.

Sedovo

The village 55 kilometers from Mariupol is located on the Curve Spit. Small in size, it has about thirty boarding houses, recreation centers and hotels and has a reputation as a relatively clean region, due to its remoteness from major cities and industrial facilities.

For the most part, vacation rentals in Sedovo are located 20-100 meters from the sea.

The main feature of the resort is rather narrow beaches.

Shchelkino and Cape Kazantip

The city on the northeastern coast of Crimea, built to service a nuclear power plant that has not yet been launched, has the fame of a youth get-together resort.

Republic of KaZantip or Republic Z is an electronic music festival, which until recently took place on the territory of an unfinished nuclear reactor - the main attraction of the region.

In addition to fans of non-stop hangouts, Cape Kazantip was a haven for windsurfers who took part in the annual competitions for the Russian Funboard Association (RFA) Federation Cup.

Resorts on the Russian coast

And now, briefly, but thoroughly, we will tell you about the resorts located on the Russian coast of the Azov Sea.

Taganrog

The resort town in the Rostov region, founded by Peter the Great in 1698, is included in the list of historical cities of Russia.

Taganrog is a seaport and industrial center of southern Russia with large metallurgical and machine-building industries.

There is practically no point in talking about any environmental friendliness of the resort.

First of all, tourists here may be interested in a well-developed infrastructure, historical sights and cultural sites.

Yeisk

The city on the Azov Sea in the Krasnodar Territory is located between the Taganrog Bay and the Yeisk estuary, at the base of the Yeisk spit.

Unlike Taganrog, the city does not have very large industrial facilities, but there are plenty of attractions and entertainment.

The most popular among tourists is the Yeisk Spit, which has the largest beaches, sanatoriums, recreation centers, cafes and restaurants.

No less popular is the Kupechesky District, which attracts tourists with its ancient architecture, and the Taganrog Embankment, which is considered the heart of the resort.

Yeysk has an operating port and railway, which add convenience in terms of transfer, but negatively affect ecological state recreation.

Primorsko-Akhtarsk

The resort is located on the Akhtarsky Bay in the northwestern part Krasnodar Territory.

Among the listed Russian recreations, Primorsko-Akhtarsk can be called the most environmentally friendly.

The main industrial load here is taken by canning mini-fish factories, there are no large industrial facilities in the resort, and the railway station can hardly cause too much damage to the cleanliness of air and water.

The disadvantages of recreation include a rather modest supply of housing at the resort and an underdeveloped infrastructure.

Taman Peninsula

The Krasnodar resort region is unique not only because it is washed by two seas - the Azov and Black seas, but also the presence of volcanoes spewing mud - active, extinct and dormant.

The largest and most famous among them are the Akhtanizovskaya and Karabetova hills, the Hephaestus volcano.

The pearl of Taman is a local "Switzerland", a protected area with wild vegetation, which is very suitable for lovers of secluded relaxation in the bosom of nature.

Many tourists say that the Sea of ​​Azov is a swamp. They have this opinion, because its depth is not great, and quickly warming up the water becomes colored, mud appears. Yes, it is, but only in those places where there are no resorts and where the water is not monitored. And the resort coast of the sea is very well-groomed and clean. On the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov, there are hundreds of resorts, dozens of large cities with a population of up to one hundred thousand and so. It is sometimes difficult for tourists to choose a place to spend their vacation. Therefore, a new map of the coast of the Azov Sea of ​​Russia with all settlements and cities and resorts will help you understand what and where is located and where is the best place to go on vacation.

The Azov Sea on the territory of Russia has a length of 250 kilometers. It washes the Krasnodar Territory, Crimea and connects with the Black Sea thanks to the Kerch Strait. On the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov there are big cities and famous resorts... Perhaps the most famous is Yeisk. Yeysk is a resort that annually attracts over a million tourists during the summer.
If we talk about the largest city, then this is Rostov-on-Don. But it is not located on the very shore of the sea, but far from it. But its river Don flows into the Sea of ​​Azov.

The Sea of ​​Azov is not so shallow by itself. The local climate here is such that there is almost no rain in spring and summer. If it does rain, it passes in a matter of minutes and brings almost no precipitation that could fill the sea. And the heat, which began in April, will dry up the sea until autumn. It is because of the heat and the absence of normal rains that the Sea of ​​Azov becomes shallow.

But this also has its advantages. The most obvious is that shallow water warms up faster. And here, unlike the Black Sea, you can swim in April, and in May there are a huge number of tourists.
Due to the small amount of rain, the coast of the Azov Sea is very scarce in vegetation. You will not see picturesque flowers or trees here. All this dries quickly in a heat of + 34 ° C + 37 ° C. And the constantly blowing hot breeze also burns the grass, making it yellow at the very beginning of summer.

What distinguishes the Azov Sea from the neighboring Black Sea is that there are sandy beaches. Almost no pebble or rocky beaches, there is sand everywhere. There are also many wild bays on the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov, where you can retire and relax away from the rest.
There are also many health resorts on the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov. We inherited them from the USSR, but at present new sanatoriums with new modern houses rest and medical dispensaries.

The private sector is also popular and more than half of the tourists choose to stay there. Firstly, it is convenient and you do not need to overpay to intermediaries. Secondly, in the private sector it is quieter, there are no noisy neighbors along the corridor, you will have your own house. Also, private traders always have a bathhouse and a sauna. Their houses are beautiful and pretty, they are located by the sea and it is not so long to get to the city.
Next, we suggest you interactive map Azov coast of Russia and Crimea. You can enlarge the map, make it any size and consider even the smallest villages.

Due to its shallow depth and relatively small size, the Sea of ​​Azov is superbly warmed by the first spring rays of the sun and is already available for swimming in April. This significantly increases the holiday season, and in May there are already quite a few people who want to get a golden southern tan. When planning your upcoming vacation, you need to have a good idea of ​​what awaits at a particular resort. As the map of the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov in Russia shows, the length of the domestic coastline stretches for 250 kilometers. The waves of the reservoir wash western borders Krasnodar Territory, the eastern coast of Crimea and through the Kerch Strait are connected to the deeper Black Sea.

Climatic conditions of the Azov region

Unlike the Black Sea, the coast of the Azov Sea lacks lush vegetation, and the air is dry and hot. Almost constantly blowing wind carries a sultry spicy smell of steppe grasses, intricately intertwined with the fresh scent of the sea breeze. Such a climate is very favorable for heart patients and those suffering from respiratory diseases. This is not to say that there is no rain during the summer, but they are so fleeting and warm in summer that they are not able to spoil the holiday mood. The sea water temperature is 20 degrees in late spring, and in July-August this figure can rise to 32 degrees. The sea of ​​Azov is warmly and hospitably offered by the resorts of Russia, ready to provide high-quality health improvement and good rest:

• Dolzhanskaya braid;
• Kuchugury;
• the village of Priazovsky;
• Yeisk;
• Taganrog;
• Primorsko-Akhtarsk;
• Golubitskaya;
• Taman.

Extremely affordable prices, comfortable accommodation, warmth of sea water and lack of deep places along the entire length of the coastal zone makes the Azov Sea very attractive for families with children.

Yeisk

Located 1,300 kilometers from the Russian capital, Yeysk is great for family vacations. This is the largest Kuban resort with a very convenient location. It has its own airport and railway station, it is easy to get here from Moscow by any means of transport. The city has a modern sanatorium with a wide profile, offering high-quality health improvement to parents and children. For those wishing to relax in Yeisk, there are numerous hotels, as well as in the private sector. This place has long been chosen by lovers of kiting and windsurfing, and for those wishing to master extreme sports, experienced specialists of recently opened surf stations give introductory lessons.

The village of Taman

The village of Taman is located on the shore of the Taman Bay, which annually attracts numerous tourists with cheerful themed holidays and various festivals. The free and independent spirit of the Cossacks reigns here, you can get acquainted with its traditions and peculiar way of life. Various cultural events are often held in Taman, and although the tourist infrastructure could be better developed, a trip to the village leaves a lot of impressions. From here to the Black Sea is only 10 kilometers.

Kuchugury

It is worth paying special attention to the village of Kuchugury when the question of where to rest on the Sea of ​​Azov is being discussed. It is famous for its crystal clear water and fine sandy beaches. The purity of the sea surface of the Golubaya Bay, on the shore of which the village is located, is explained by the remoteness from Kerch Strait... In Kuchugury there is a calm atmosphere, a shallow warm sea, clean beaches and a decently developed infrastructure. Modern private hotels and guest houses are actively being built and opened here, local residents are vying with each other to offer to settle in neat well-kept houses. In the evening, you will not be bored in the village; various entertainment establishments work.

Stanitsa Golubitskaya

Sanatoriums and comfortable recreation centers, cozy private buildings and many small comfortable hotels, numerous cafes and youth evening discos - all this turns the village of Golubitskaya into an attractive resort with a well-developed infrastructure. A wide sandy beach and a unique lake with healing mud are at the service of those who have chosen the second most popular Azov resort as a holiday destination. Like other settlements on the coast, Golubitskaya is great for children's recreation, an excellent water park was arranged here for the kids. The nearest railway station is Temryuk, and by plane you need to fly to.

The attractiveness of the Azov region

With all the variety of resorts on the coast of the Azov Sea, there are many common attractive factors influencing the decision to go here - warm sea, excellent fishing, peace and safety, unique conditions for windsurfing and sailing. And at the same time, there is a real opportunity to acquire all these benefits at a very affordable cost. Is it worth giving preference to foreign resorts, when in your homeland you can relax just as well and spend it!
