In the heat, it's time to get out to the beaches of the Moscow region - to the river or a large lake.
Where to swim in the Moscow region in the summer of 2019, where are the best beaches of the Moscow region on the map and how to get to them by public transport, read this article.
In total, there are about 90 beaches in the Moscow region - there are both free recreation areas near the water and paid ones.
If there is such an opportunity, it is better to go farther from Moscow - in the far suburbs, the water is cleaner, and there are fewer people and less garbage. The best swimming is in reservoirs with a sandy bottom, which are fed by spring water, or in reservoirs with running water.
You can find out detailed information about the water quality of the Moscow Region reservoirs in the territorial departments of the Rospotrebnadzor Administration for the Moscow Region and on their official websites.

How to find out where it is safe to swim in the Moscow region,
August in Moscow is traditionally unbearable. Asphalt and paving slabs get hot, road dust mixes with smog, and amid the heat, planes unexpectedly begin to fall and defaults occur.
It is clear that the brutalized city dweller is drawn to the water. But not to drown yourself, no, but to console yourself with self-deception, the illusion of seaside recreation - which does not exist in Moscow and the region, as watermelons never grow here and they will not learn how to cook Mexican dishes. Realizing this, you can, guided by the guide "Afisha Daily", choose one of the several coastal recreation areas in the suburbs we have explored, close your eyes, sit on the path and hit the road.
The general picture of desolation
To begin with, general introductory notes. Within the city they swim in the area of Serebryany Bor and Strogino. Outside the city, beaches can be found on the banks of reservoirs formed during the construction of the Moscow-Volga canal. The closest water comes to the MKAD from the North - the Klyazminskoye and Pirogovskoye reservoirs are located 7-10 km from the Koltseva, Khimkinskoye even managed to partially fit into the city boundaries.
The idea to equip resort areas in the Moscow region was proposed by Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev (according to one version, having seen enough of the recreation centers of Finnish workers). The leading architects of the 60s were involved in the planning, and they developed an improvement plan in a uniform style. Water pipes were installed to the beaches, medical centers, rescue stations were equipped, boarding houses were built, routes of buses and water transport - rockets were laid.
Now the approach to the reservoirs is limited by fences and checkpoints without inscriptions. And, for example, there is an expensive one at the place once called "The people's resort of Pirogovo". Only some of the beaches remained municipal, being taken over by the cities near Moscow. The rest were either privatized or leased. But since access to water in Russia is legally a public domain, all barrier managers can do is charge cars entering the property, offer sun loungers and barbecue areas. In a sweep of thought, the owners and tenants of the Moscow region beaches are like a summer resident-kurkul from the 90s, who brings to his "hacienda" all the things that are old and unnecessary in a city apartment: they have made something there, something has been patched up ... However, you can still see sun canopies and playgrounds that remember the caespian romance of the 60s. Who knows, maybe someday Strelka or Grigoryan's bureau will get to the systemic improvement in the Moscow region and will be lovingly restored.
How to find the right beach
The water is usually separated from the road by either a village or a forest belt. If you don't know, then the beach can only be detected by the strange behavior of motorists, turning through an unremarkable field or forest. It seems that the first rule of the administration of the Moscow Region resorts, as in the "Fight Club", is not to tell anyone about our beach. Not everyone has sane websites where it is written how to get there; putting a signpost on the road is an impossible task at all. More often they are limited to a plate nailed to the fence of someone's home ownership. Most of the zones in this guide were found by tags on Yandex's "people's map" and the Foursquare app. So if you want to expand it yourself, then use maps and forsquare. Or watch out for traffic congestion.
Swimming is prohibited. Everywhere
The second - and most important - problem of the beaches near Moscow is a very conditional sanitation. The official status of a swimming zone is only the beach that has received the appropriate certificate from the Regional Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare. Management companies rarely apply for them, because the paper obliges to put the recreation area in order. As of July, among the beaches of the near Moscow region, allowed for swimming, the regional Rospotrebnadzor listed only LLC "Bukhta of joy-2" - we will start the guide with it. However, this does not mean that the water or sand on the neighboring beaches does not correspond to the norm: it is just that no one checked it.
Bay of joy
Feel like a visitor from Moscow
Every summer, vacationers come here by rocket, bus, minibus or their own car (about 18 km from the Moscow Ring Road along the Ostashkovskoe highway, near the village of Sorokino). But the sight of this area does not cause much joy. Imagine a gypsy camp with wagons and tents of different colors scattered randomly in the forest; near each of which something is fried and covers the territory with a variety of fumes. Garbage is lying around right there - at best, the heaps are covered with camouflage nets. Some areas are lined with sun loungers, but they will only be allowed to sit next to them even on their own blanket after paying 150 rubles. Hygiene issues are covered by blue booths; at the same time, alternative methods to solve the problem are hardly possible - companies live under every bush on hot weekends.
Malibu beach
Long drive, expensive, crowded - next to the Bay of Joy
There is a frigate "Black Pearl" (rooms, a sauna with a plunge pool, a cafe-veranda), barbecue, pilaf, hookahs. There is also an outdoor pool, located on an old barge stylized as sunny Malibu with plastic palms and toy crocodiles and sharks (entrance here for a fee - 1000 rubles on weekdays and 1200 - on weekends). Those who wish can spend the night at the hotel, converted from an old landing stage. If not by car, then take bus №438 "Medvedkovo-Pirogovo".
Ostashkovo beach
The same kebabs on the Klyazma, but with an interesting flavor
The beach in the neighboring village of Ostashkovo is intended for the Goths or very inveterate Epicureans - the local cemetery begins right behind the fence. Infrastructure - cafes, toilets, playground. The entrance to the water is shallow; for those who want to dive deep, there is a pier.
Wild beaches in Chiverevo village
A glade near the water with a forest. Beautifully, ships sail
The village of Chiverevo is located even farther from Moscow on the left bank of the Pirogov reservoir. Vigilant residents have arranged a system of barriers and gates so that the car will have to be left very far from the water. And even then, if you can find a place. But if you have patience and walk, vacationers will find a very picturesque place in a pine forest at the spit of the reservoir and the channel named after. Moscow. The beaches in the Chiverevo area are wild - they are not an official bathing area, the cleanliness of the coast and water remain on the conscience of the visitors. And not everyone has it.
Pirogovsky beach
A huge territory and a lot of people - rest with people
If you turn in the center of the village of Pirogovo behind an unremarkable fence of a private house with a faded banner and dust on a broken road for a long time, you can come to the area that calls itself the Pirogovskaya recreation center. It was once the Flagman beach. It's just Pirogovsky Beach. The owners did not want to spend money on laying an asphalt road to the beach and a road sign, but they take money for entry. There are several wooden structures on the territory that look like workers' cabins - they are rented (the price corresponds to the level of a three-star hotel). In fact, this is a piece of the field by the river that they are trying to master, targeting corporate events and weddings. The coast is not very gentle - you will have to lie on a hill. The area is open, there is practically no shadow. The swimming area is fenced with buoys from the area where scooters and catamarans are frolicking.
"Podrezovo-1"
Public beach on the border of the villages of Pirogovo and Podrezovo
The entrance to its territory is free, so there are a lot of people, especially on weekends, both locals and residents of the north of Moscow. The rest, as elsewhere, - gazebos for rent, around - cafes, barbecue plus shops in the village. There is a bus №314 from metro "Medvedkovo".
"Undercut-2" and "Hands up"
Anapa near Moscow - free crowded and paid empty
There are two more beaches in Podrezovo: the paid one, belonging to the Hands Up! Group, and the municipal Podrezovo-2 (be careful - you will miss the inconspicuous exit across the country road a couple of times before you get here). Both beaches fit in a narrow strip of sand between the coast and the first line of houses, so at the free municipal resort, resort visitors literally sit on top of each other. In general, you cannot walk from parked cars to Podrezovo - residents and beach-goers are in eternal confrontation: to avoid parking, tires, bollards and other bulky debris are placed around the fences. Although some are ready to park the car at their site for money. To improve the ecological situation in the village. Podrezovo you can get there by public transport - buses 438, 314 and minibus 166 run from Medvedkovo.
Yacht club "Admiral"
Café Society in the village of Gribki
A fairly promoted beach in the near Moscow region. Accepts corporate parties, weddings, open-airs, chanson concerts - what not. On the territory there are swimming pools, expensive restaurants, a hotel, a mini-zoo with an infectious vacationer boar 
Photo from Forskver and a quest. For rent: boats, jet skis, catamarans, boats, a football field, a volleyball court, tables with ping-pong rackets and, it seems, everything that can be rented. Here they even set their sights on a development project: a complex of apartments "Admiral" is being built in front of the entrance. True, the windows of future apartments overlook a shabby, blank fence, but this does not bother the owners of the club at all. They are not at all worried about everything outside the Admiral: not the exit between trucks selling rubble, not the broken road, not the atmosphere, as in the very provincial version of the Diaghilev club. If you are a beautiful girl, then you have nothing to do there without a small dog.
Recreation area "Khlebnikovo"
150 m to the right of the yacht club "Admiral"
As a matter of fact, there is no beach here - the relief is hilly, the trees approach almost the coastline. There are posts near the water with worn out signs "Swimming is prohibited" and "Glass does not dull for 20 years" 
... At a distance - a cafe, barbecue tents, a restaurant "Lakada" with a stuffed bear. Large families sit in the pavilions and speak loudly in an incomprehensible dialect. There are many tourists near the water from the north of Moscow, because it is easy to get here by minibus # 572 from the Altufyevo metro station. The shore is bounded by a concrete wall - descent into the water by ladders, quite shabby 
... The rented catamarans look no less shabby.
"Gorki"
Forest, grass, beach - wedding, corporate, banquet
In "Gorki", according to the name, there is a hilly area and a high bank. Nevertheless, people swim. Near the water there are many gazebos for barbecues, tents for weddings and corporate events. You can find a fountain with tap water, a first-aid post and a playground - just the legacy of Khrushchev. There is a paintball club on the territory - it looks shabby. In "Gorki" there is a pier, and in the summer season it is brought here by rocket from the River Station.
"Novoaleksandrovo"
Nice beach, just arrive early - parking problems
Behind the "Gorki" begins an open flat area the width of a football stadium, adjacent to the first line of houses in the village - this is the beach "Novoaleksandrovo", a rare place near the Moscow region reservoirs, where some kind of planned arrangement was carried out, and it was done by specialists. Admission is free, but you can choose options for rent - a chaise lounge, plastic tables and chairs, umbrellas, barbecues. There is a canopy with a shade, volleyball and playgrounds, water slides and attractions. BBQ areas are located around the perimeter, and smoke from them does not interfere with the rest. The entrance to the water is shallow. The lawn is mowed, the debris is monitored. The main plus in the size: no matter how many people are crowded, you can always find a corner where the neighbors will be 10 meters away. Someone will like that the sky is strewn round the clock by planes landing at Sheremetyevo.
The only trouble with parking: free is always packed, and the paid one is very small - there are 30 places, it costs 200 rubles. on weekdays, 300 r. - on the weekend. Here is a life hack for those who go without a car: if you really ask the driver of minibus # 572, who takes you from Altufevo to the Khlebnikovo recreation area, he will give you a ride to the village of Novoaleksandrovo. Another option: by train to the Vodniki platform of the Savelovsky direction, then change to bus # 33, which goes from Dolgoprudny.
Recreation center "Troitskoe"
Burnt bastion of wedding luxury
There is a vast territory and a staircase entrance to the water - on the descent, the depth is just above the waist. There is a small paddling pool for kids in the corner of the beach. On the territory of cafes and restaurants, there is also a hotel, wooden cottages, gazebos for rent. We immediately set up a small zoo, but we are such entertainment. The most outstanding detail here is the two stationary toilets with running water and sewerage (on all other beaches we surveyed, the bathrooms are in appalling condition). Troitskoye got rid of the traces of a fire in 2013, when during a wedding celebration a lightning hit the Argo hotel, and all this was carefully done by wedding operators. The Argo was restored, but the unpretentious plastic tower and the decommissioned ship calling itself the Bagrationi hotel bring sadness - the rooms are rented out at the price of a three-star hotel in Moscow.
"Mayak" and the northern shore of the Klyazminskoye reservoir
Live on your own
From the exit from the bridge along the Dmitrovskoe highway to the Moscow Canal, the northern coast is marked by wild beaches, private territories and the Mayak beach in the village of Novoseltsevo - with traditional gazebos and barbecues, but without toilets and changing cabins.
Bonus track: two more beaches
If you do not live in the north or northeast of Moscow, getting to Pirogovka and Klyazma across the city is tiresome. Outside the Moscow Ring Road there are several other decent places near the water - and here are two of them, verified by Afisha Daily.
Quarry in Lytkarino
An unexpectedly pleasant place
Once upon a time, quartz sand was mined here for a military factory. Then the vein was exhausted, but underground springs burst out and filled the quarry. The reservoir is surrounded by a pine forest that is kept clean. The houses in the area are not visible, which gives the feeling of being somewhere away from the city. For entry, a certain LLC charges a payment in the amount of 200 rubles. from the car - you can drive up almost to the beach itself. On the shore there are several bars with electronic music - stylistically it is such a "Kazantip-1997". But among the kebabs, pilaf and other beach fast food, bearded men were seen selling gyros (every second buyer has to explain what it is). No changing cabins or a first-aid post were found. There is a wake club and water attractions. Toilet - 50 rubles. Well, how?
Diplomatic beach
Timeless classics of Rublyovka
Legendary place on Nikolina Gora, prayed by Alexander Lipnitsky, the Kino group and Olga Soldatova. In Soviet times, this beach was chosen by employees of diplomatic departments - hence the name. Now here you can meet the characters with whom you propped up the windowsills in Solyanka, the same Lipnitsky and Soldatova. The new life to "Deep Beach" was given by the cafe launched a couple of years ago at the entrance
Not all existing ones, but suitable for family vacations with small and rather big children.
Sorry, the information is from last year, and I probably won't have time to update it, so there may be discrepancies in the prices for entrance and parking. It is also better to specify the numbers of minibuses and buses.
In the Moscow region, a place in the sun can be found for every taste. The main thing is to decide what you want more - without the hassle of relaxing with your baby by the water, without losing the usual benefits of civilization, or finding a secluded corner of the wilderness for an exciting search expedition.
Flagman beach
The most spacious and well-maintained beach of the Pirogovskoye Reservoir. Children are loved here. For them on the territory there are many different attractions, slides, sandboxes, swings, carousels and children's sports grounds with ladders and horizontal bars. The beach is cleaned constantly, the sand is white, the bottom is clean, changing rooms, toilets and showers are in perfect condition. The descent into the water is gentle and convenient, for the smallest there is a paddling pool. They rent boats, catamarans, balls, rackets, sun loungers. The beach is guarded, at the entrance they will definitely ask what you are carrying, since it is forbidden to bring your products. Juices, kebabs, pies and ice cream can be bought locally. If one day of beach recreation seemed not enough for you and you want to start sunbathing at the most useful morning time, then you can settle down for the night right on the beach - in cozy cottages with double beds and hot water. Hourly payment - 300 rubles per hour. The entrance to the beach is paid - 50 rubles, car parking - 100 rubles. per day.
