Well-equipped
Let's look at the best beaches on the Black Sea coast, so you can make your choice and find a more suitable place under the rays of the southern sun where you can enjoy the freedom and open spaces of the sea.

In the center of the resort there is a very nice sandy beach, which extends near the Thin Cape sanatorium. If you absolutely want to attend it, we recommend signing up for some useful procedures (possibly inexpensive ones). But the rest are rocky and pebbly.
Carefully! Enter the water carefully so as not to injure your leg with sharp stones. It is better to buy special shoes and enjoy the crystal water to the fullest.

The city's central sandy beach is quite large and crowded. I'm glad that everything is provided for free. There are also all sorts of paid services and entertainment: parachute flights, jet ski and banana rides, inflatable mattresses .
It would seem that there is somewhere to roam, but the big disadvantage is that during the peak season there is simply nowhere to step, it is too crowded and noisy, and therefore the water is not very clean. For some, this causes terrible discomfort. There is a bay around, so during the surf, algae washes up to the shore.

Residential complexes
When choosing optimal housing, each person primarily considers the distance from the sea. The closer the hotel is to the sea, the higher the chance that entertainment venues will be located nearby. The cost of the room will depend on the distance to the coastline.
A more expensive option, but the most convenient location, is the “Gardens of the Seas” residential complex. It is distinguished by its prestige and comfort. The conditions of the complex will satisfy even the most capricious guest:
- its own closed protected area;
- pool;
- sports grounds such as a tennis court;

Those who prefer to get to the resort by private car have parking spaces in the shade of the grove. The 24-hour operation of video cameras will allow the car owner not to worry about his transport and have a good rest.
At a distance of 100-200 meters from the sea you can find other hotels. The rooms have a bathroom, air conditioning, a refrigerator, and also have access to wireless Internet. On the territory of some hotels you can find a private swimming pool and private parking. You should pay attention to the following options:
- hotel "Kino";

Description of the city's beach area
The main thing why people go to Gelendzhik is a beach holiday. At the peak of the beach season, the resort has an obvious lack of beaches. But thanks to the implementation of investment projects, today the beach areas have been increased by more than twenty thousand square kilometers. The beaches of the central part of Gelendzhik are always crowded, but those far from the center are relatively free. Next to the well-maintained beaches there are wild ones; these secluded places are usually located between the sea and the rocks.
There are twenty-four beaches in the city, all of which have received industry ratings and are classified into three categories:
- Blue flag (first category);
- Green flag (second category);
- Yellow flag (third category).
As a result, out of 24 beaches, 3 beach areas received the first category, six belong to the second category, and the rest are beaches of the third category. All of them are pebble or small pebble. A few years ago, after the renovation of the embankment in Gelendzhik, a well-maintained beach “Gardens of the Seas” was opened.
