Yeysk for children
Yeysk is great for families with children. First of all, we need to thank nature for this. The Sea of Azov is very shallow here, so it is well suited even for very young children who do not yet know how to swim.

One of the most popular attractions among children is the Shark Reef aquarium, the first and so far the only one on the coast of the Azov Sea. It is located right by the sea, in the Kamenka resort area. Huge aquariums with various representatives of the underwater world are equipped with the latest water purification technologies, thanks to which the inhabitants of the aquarium feel great even in captivity.

Beaches of Yeysk
The Yeisk Spit very successfully divides the waters of the Sea of Azov into two parts: the Yeisk Estuary and the Taganrog Bay. We must pay tribute to nature; it has created excellent conditions for those who like to soak up the warm sand near a shallow, well-warmed body of water.
Most of Yeisk's beaches are sandy, with small shell rock, however, there are also several pebble recreation areas. In windy weather, the Sea of Azov becomes muddy, as waves lift healing silt from the bottom. At such times, bathing is especially useful.
The most popular beach in Yeysk is Central. The beach is sandy, the depth reaches 1.7 m, the entrance to the water is gentle. There is everything you need for a great holiday: changing cabins, sun loungers, umbrellas. There is an amusement park and several cafes nearby.
To the left of the spit is Children's Beach. It is quieter than Central, so people who prefer children's laughter to the roar of adults enjoy relaxing here.
Youth Beach is open at the tip of the Yeisk Spit. There is a fairly sharp entrance to the water and strong waves that will delight fans of extreme sports.

A huge number of stalls with souvenirs, as well as “Everything for 20 rubles” stalls, where we simply bought all sorts of small things for our daughter.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the water park (800 rubles for half a day or 1000 rubles for the whole day). We spent the whole day there. You cannot take food or drinks into it, but there are several stalls with food and drinks on the territory itself.
The water park has many slides for children to ride or play. Children's pool and just a playground. All sun loungers are under a canopy, but you should not neglect the cream, otherwise you can get sunburned during the day.

Holidays in Yeysk by season
in winter
Unlike other resort towns, Yeysk offers winter recreation. The city has many establishments open in winter. Housing for rent is not as expensive as in summer. Many people come to Yeysk in winter to breathe clean sea air.
in spring
At this time of year, relaxing near the sea is especially easy and healthy. Housing prices are also not inflated. A great opportunity to walk around the city and enjoy the flowering of various plants in pleasant weather.
In summer
The busiest time of the year. Many tourists come, all entertainment venues open, excursions and windsurfing competitions take place.
in autumn
Autumn is the most beautiful time in Yeisk. Very beautiful landscapes in the parks. Good weather. There are also opportunities to visit the sights of the city, arrange a self-guided tour or book one.
Kamenka Beach
Kamenka Beach stretches along the Taganrog embankment, with three descents leading to the shore.
It’s not for nothing that Kamenka got its name: unlike the beaches on the Yeisk Spit, here the beach is sand and pebbles, there are places with large stones. Due to slippery boulders, it is not convenient to enter the water everywhere.
The beach is not very good. You can’t go into the sea, you’ll rip off all your legs and it’s very small. We talked to a lot of people on this beach, they think that it is the only one in Yeisk, and they are content with it. Then they go to their home and tell everyone what a swamp and sea there is in Yeisk... Like some of my friends. Although Yeysk has a very good central beach. / Roman Viktorovich.
Many people use special rubber slippers - aquasocks, which are sold right there. The only problem is getting into the water, because beyond that there is sand and of course it’s shallow. Adults will have to go very far into the sea to swim.
Beautiful embankment) the beach itself is not very good))) let's say for an amateur) the entrance to the sea is on rocks) but probably this has its advantages) Additional massage) and the whole range of entertainment and infrastructure is available. / Elvira Panfilova.
Another disadvantage is the ability to drive to the beach by car, which many people take advantage of. In addition, there are almost no awnings and no opportunity to hide from the southern sun. All day long there is a brisk trade - pies, belyashi, corn.
There is, of course, a large coastal area, a lot of entertainment, a lot of housing for vacationers, but it is a bit shallow and there are stones in the water. I prefer the central beach, the sand is good there, the sea is deeper and there is much more entertainment. / Anatoly K.
Kamenka is one of the most popular beaches in the city due to the abundance of water and land activities. You can rent a jet ski or catamaran, ride on a “tablet”, “banana”, there are inflatable trampolines, a “Catapult” attraction, and there are experts in braiding hair and creating temporary tattoos. The beach is equipped: there are changing cabins, dry closets, sports grounds, sun loungers for rent, garbage is removed every day. On the beach there is the Nemo water park, nearby there is a dolphinarium and an oceanarium, many cafes, including the stylized restaurant “Cossack Kuren”.
General Tips
For those who decide to relax in Yeysk with children, I can give the following advice:
In the end, I would like to note that the residents of Yeisk are very friendly, like most vacationers.
Recently, the three of us could easily afford to go swimming, leaving our things on the shore. And no one has ever robbed us.
And don’t be afraid to ask where and what is better. They will always advise you on good places for swimming, for games, and for excursions.
