Dzhubga is a small urban resort village in the Tuapse region. The embankment here runs along the coast of Dzhubga Bay. You can walk along it, admiring the Black Sea, the view of Mount Hedgehog on one side (Embankment Street) and Cape Shapshok on the other side. People come here to go down to the beach area or enjoy resort activities. Photos of the Dzhubga embankment show that it is not wide, but one of the busiest streets during the tourist season. It passes over the main city beach.
The Dzhubga embankment by the sea occupies about 600 m along the beach area.

What to see in the village. Dzhubga?
To diversify your holiday in the Krasnodar region, see something educational, unusual and get new impressions, you need to take excursions around the village of Dzhubga. Considering its small size, they will not take much time, but will make your time memorable.
The cultural heritage, which is believed to be around 23 centuries old, includes the Dolmen. This attraction is definitely worth a look. According to reviews, a visit to an ancient place energizes, promotes the creative development of the individual, and it is as if hidden talents awaken in a person. Although there is no reliable information about who built such structures and why.
Colonel Falls got their name from a tributary stream of the Dzhubga. A magnificent landscape appears before the eyes of tourists. You can see several waterfalls with different sizes and intensity of water fall. The largest of them has a height of almost 18 m. Beautiful nature, clean forest air with the aromas of mountain herbs, birdsong and the sound of water - all this is a guarantee of a wonderful holiday in the Krasnodar region.
The Museum of Wooden Sculpture “Whims of the Forest” is the home of master A.M. Gzhelyak, where you can admire exhibits made from driftwood and dry branches. Bizarre figures of insects, animals and people will surprise visitors with their diversity and original design. Children will be curious to visit it, because some specimens can be touched, and there are sculptures of fairy-tale and fantasy characters. Adults will enjoy the exhibition of the author's personal belongings, which tells about his life and work.
Also take a trip to the mountains on ATVs or jeeps. For these purposes, many scenic routes have been laid. A more distant excursion to the Guam Gorge will tickle your nerves and will remain in your memory for a long time. The tourist complex “Eagle Rock” will be interesting, which includes horseback riding, all-terrain vehicle riding, tasting cheese, wine, honey, taking medicinal baths and many other exciting things. There is entertainment here for both adults and children.
Entertainment
For those who will travel to the nearest major cities - a guide to entertainment and attractions in Gelendzhik and Tuapse.
Most families with children prefer to go to Dzhubga because it has everything for a memorable holiday. Based on my own experience, I can suggest:
Water park "Dzhubga"
Designed for visitors of any age. For very young children there is a heated swimming pool. Ticket price for an adult for the whole day is 1000 rubles, for a child – 500 rubles. Half a day is correspondingly cheaper.
The water park is the largest in the Tuapse region. Modern roller coasters surprise with their unusualness. The water in children's pools undergoes special purification. So it’s not scary if a child suddenly swallows it.
For us, the day in the park flew by, we received a lot of positive emotions!
Museum "Wonders of the Forest"
It's easy to spot by the giant wooden dinosaur sculpture. The museum does not have its own premises; it is located in the house where its founder, woodcarver A.M. Gzhelyak, used to live and work. The exhibition features about 1,500 wooden figurines, as well as personal belongings of the creator.
Leisure is not for everyone, I really liked it, but my son was frankly bored.
Penguinarium
To be honest, there are not enough inhabitants there. In the aquarium, the penguins have a glass ball through which you can observe them from a close distance. They are funny and children like them. Neighboring them are fur seals and seals.
The cost of the entrance bidet is 350 rubles/person.
Entertaining
Cost – 500 rub./person.
A very educational and interesting place. The park was built by analogy with the film of the same name. Enclosed by a high fence. When you enter the park, you immediately feel a little uneasy. Everything around seems to be alive: dinosaurs growl, birds sing, someone screams. The figures of all animals move, they can be touched and photographed. The time of stay is not limited.
Unfortunately, this place is not for visitors with small children. Some scenes are so realistic that they can easily scare you.
Dolphinarium "Nemo"
You will have to pay 600 rubles per person for entry, which is not cheap. Children under 5 years old are free.
We liked the performance, the cheerful music and beautiful animals lifted our spirits for the whole day. The show lasts about 1 hour, touching animals is prohibited. A photo costs 500 rubles.
As you can see, there really is somewhere to take your child. So choose according to your taste and wallet.
The best beaches in the city
In the Krasnodar Territory, Dzhubga has an elongated shape, but not along the coast, but perpendicular to it. As a result, the beach recreation area is relatively small, but due to its width there is enough space for everyone.
The entry into the sea is gentle, very convenient with children, since the depth does not begin immediately. The beach surface consists of sand and small pebbles, making it pleasant to walk on barefoot. For the comfort of vacationers, showers, toilets and trash cans are installed in the bathing area. Towards evening, local cafes and restaurants are ready to feed everyone.
You can have fun on various attractions, we are talking about walks on boats, hydro scooters, catamarans, riding on a “tablet” and “banana”. On the shore there is a trampoline, inflatable slides, including one with a descent into the sea.
Dzhubga embankment beach
The main place of attraction for tourists is the central beach of the village. It runs along the sea, from the Dzhubga River and further along Naberezhnaya and Portovaya streets, where the embankment runs. The surface is sand and pebbles, the depth in the sea increases gradually, and the water warms up quickly. There are reviews of polluted areas and water during the peak tourist season. The photo of the beach and the Dzhubga embankment shows that the area near the river is the widest and most comfortable; towards Cape Shapsukho it narrows. There is the necessary infrastructure: rental of sun loungers and sun umbrellas, shade canopies, changing rooms and toilets, and lifeguards.
As you can see in the photo of the beach and the Dzhubga embankment, holidays here are in demand during the warm season. On weekends, residents of Krasnodar and other neighboring settlements come here. Those who like less crowded places should walk further along the beach area towards the pier. Another option is to cross the river and go to the foot of Mount Hedgehog to the wild beaches; behind the mountain there is also a nudist beach.

Where to go with children?
For little children, visiting “adult” sights and swimming in the sea is not always enough to be completely happy. Sometimes they want something more exciting, bright, in a word, so that there is a lot of delight. In this case, there are several remarkable places in Dzhubga, a visit to which will clearly satisfy the needs of demanding children.
First of all, go to the water park of the same name as the town. On a vast territory there are several dozen slides, high and not very high, steep and smooth. The impressions and emotions received from visiting it will be colorful and will be remembered for a long time. You can slide down the slopes on your own or on special soft mats and inflatable single and double rings. Those who like passive relaxation are offered to swim in the pools or enjoy food, drinks and music in the café equipped right there. In the evenings there are often exciting foam parties. Ticket prices depend on the time of visit, which is selected according to preferences - several hours or the whole day.
Another way to diversify youngsters’ leisure time is a trip to the Nemo water entertainment complex, which includes:
- "Dolphinarium". Several dolphins and fur seals will perform spectacular acrobatic feats for the audience. There is an opportunity to swim with sea animals, take a photo as a souvenir, and even purchase a picture “drawn” by them. The performances and entertainment will appeal to both adults and children. There are dolphin therapy services that help rehabilitate people with mental and emotional development disorders.
- "Oceanarium". A beautifully decorated room with large aquariums will show vacationers some of the inhabitants of the ocean depths in all their glory. There are both small fish and big ones, such as sharks. A room with dim lighting and marine-style decorations contributes to a pleasant contemplation of the exhibition. Each body of water is decorated in an original colorful style, which makes the excursion magical and mysterious.
- "Jurassic Park". The exhibition is based on the film of the same name. The dinosaur figures look realistic. The speakers, from which animal cries are heard, create the effect of being in prehistoric time. The exhibits can be touched and photographed. The perimeter is well decorated, with a lot of greenery and attributes from the movie. The establishment will definitely appeal to visitors of all ages.
Dzhubga is also rich in other children's entertainment. Through it, the Krasnodar region appears to tourists as a very educational, family resort.
Housing on the Dzhubga embankment
To be able to quickly walk to the sea, tourists choose guest houses on the Dzhubga embankment. There are hotels with a catering system and rented apartments with their own kitchen. When choosing accommodation on a coastal street, be prepared for the fact that in the evening it is quite noisy and crowded. You can stay in the private sector on the street.
