As you know, Adler is a small southern resort town, and in fact - the district of the city of Sochi . Tourists from Russia and foreign countries come here to enjoy active pastime: rock climbing, canyoning, diving and other extreme leisure activities.
But many people just want to rest quietly from work, sunbathing in the southern sun and taking a dip in the warm clear water. Family holidays with children in Adler are also quite popular. So, what can Adler offer us in terms of beach holiday?
What are the best beaches in Adler?
Variety in the choice of beaches is one of the distinguishing features of this resort. Resting in Adler, you can choose to relax either of them or visit them in turn. Most of Adler's beaches are pebbly, but there are several sandy beaches. If the sand is much easier to lie on, the pebbles are considered a cleaner finish, and it does not heat up so much. In any case, the choice is yours!
Admission to the common city beaches of Adler is free, while private beaches belong to hotels and sanatoria, and only their guests can rest here. Practically paid entrance to these beaches. Almost all of them, whether paid or free, equipped with sun beds, locker rooms, showers and toilets, here you can rent a boat or jet ski. But they meet in Adler - mostly on its outskirts - and secluded places, more suitable for recreation "savages" and photo sessions on the sea theme.
Acquaintance with the sea coast of Adler should start from the central beaches of the city. The most popular among them are the beaches of the resort town. Nearby are four large hotels, but the beaches are freely available (though, you can only get here until 23:00). Beaches in the resort town are the cleanest in Adler, and their infrastructure is at the highest level. There is everything you need for a beach holiday, and besides that there are numerous points for selling souvenirs, renting water inventory, etc.
If you do not want to travel long to Adler in search of a good place to relax on the beach, visit one of the best central city beaches. You will find it between the stops "South Vzmorye" and "Center". The bottom of the beach is covered with small stones with an admixture of sand. There are open cafes, bars and night discos, so the beach is more preferable for young people.
Convenient in terms of location and beach near the railway station. It is 10 minutes walk and from the city center, and from the above mentioned resort town. The beach is common, but it is quite clean and not as crowded as others. It is covered with small pebbles. Here you can rent any beach equipment, jump from a breakwater, visit a cafe or bar. This beach is the best in Adler for families with children.
If you do not like bathing in excessively warm water, visit the beach "Ogonyok", which is near the sanatorium "South Vzmorye". In the sea not far from it flows the mountain Abkhazian river Mzymta, which affects the temperature of the water, making it somewhat cool. On Ogonyok there are also various entertainments, including a pier with boats and catamarans. The disadvantage of this beach is its small width.
To go to the paid beaches for the sake of cleanliness and comfort practically does not make sense, as all this you will find on any city beach. But for comparison, you can visit beaches from boarding houses "Frigate", "Aphrodite", "Coral" and others. Entrance to closed departmental beaches is carried out exclusively on passes. Good reviews from tourists about such places of rest as the beach of boarding houses "Southern" and "Dolphin".
