The depth of the sea increases gradually, so water procedures in the coastal zone are quite safe for children.

Features of the coast of Khosta and Kudepsta
In general, the picture of the coast is as follows. On the left bank of the Kudepsta River there are wild or semi-wild beaches, with minimal infrastructure. The beach of the Kudepsta sanatorium in this region is more or less landscaped, and Robinson Beach looks good. Everything that goes along the right bank of the Kudepsta River towards Adler - the territory of sanatoriums. This is public Burgas and closed to strangers Progress and Yuzhny.
From Kudepsta towards Khosta there is a railway along the sea and a continuous green area on the hillside. It’s nice to walk along the hill, but there are practically no convenient exits to the sea. That is, it will not be possible to gather your family and quickly get to the shore here. Therefore, all the beaches are semi-wild, there are very few people and there is absolutely nothing for an ordinary tourist to do here. Unless you are a nudist or an experienced savage.
Well-maintained beaches begin opposite Khosta. The coast from the Khosta River to Cape Vidny is a series of closed areas that mainly belong to boarding houses or departments. Everything here is very hospital-like: access control is organized, there is security, eternal problems with parking and no options to stay by the sea longer than the specified closing time.
Abroad, “Cape Vidny”, there is nothing normal anymore. I walked along the concrete wall along the railway embankment and saw the real wild beaches of Sochi. In some places, the sea has eroded the shore right up to the embankment and there are concrete urchins of breakwaters, which have already been pretty much eaten by the waves. The beaches of the Pobeda and Elektronika sanatoriums on the far edge of the Khosta district are closed to outsiders.
There is also something interesting for savages, on the border of the Khosta and State Farm Primorsky districts. At the address Novorossiysk Highway, 5/11 there are about a dozen houses on the area between the highway and the railway. In the fence of these houses there are gates from which people can go straight to the iron and through a puncture under the embankment they get straight to the shore. Literally three minutes - and you are at sea. True, without lifeguards, buoys and showers.
Beach of the sanatorium "Volna"
The length of the coast here is about 200 meters , the width is 35-40 . The sanatorium itself, which received many visitors in Soviet times, is now not functioning, so anyone can get to the beach. The surface is pebbly, the bottom is rocky, so it is recommended to take water procedures in special shoes.
There is a special swimming area for children, it is limited by buoys. There are sunbed rentals, changing rooms, showers, and drinking fountains. There are cafes. Along the embankment there is a forested area with woody vegetation where you can walk.
The beach is located on the street. Krasnopolyanskaya, you can get to it along the street. 50th anniversary of the USSR .
