Get acquainted visually with the peculiarities of resting with a child in Crimea:
If you carefully approach the choice and vacation at sea with children, you will definitely get a lot of pleasure and avoid many problems. It is worth carefully choosing a place, transport, rest time and places for convenience, both for you and for your child. It is the coast of Crimea that will delight you with its hospitality and delightful beauty.
In this article we will try to tell you in detail - where to go with children on the southern coast of Crimea, if needed a budget option, where to rest for savages, what sights of the South Coast to show to children, what kind of entertainment the South Coast offers them.
Beach in Gurzuf
Let's start with the features of this part of the Crimean Peninsula, what makes it so unique?
Climate... The main ridge of the Crimean Mountains closes this coast from northern winds and the southern ones bring warmth here. Therefore, a subtropical Mediterranean climate with a small amount of precipitation prevails on the South Coast of the Crimea, most of which falls in the autumn-winter period. When choosing the South Coast of Crimea for families with children in the off-season, be sure to pay their attention to how dramatically everything changes when entering the South Coast - it was just around autumn or winter, and suddenly, you find yourself in real summer - warm, green, blooming flower beds.
Nikitsky Botanical Garden at the end of November
The unique climate of the South Coast helps to treat lung diseases. Back in the 19th century, they began to build appropriate medical institutions here, and it became popular among the Russian nobility to improve their health here. If your baby is predisposed to diseases of the respiratory system, choose a vacation in one of the South Coast sanatoriums or settle with children in the private sector nearby to go there for procedures.
Flora and fauna... The unique climate helped the emergence of no less unique flora and fauna, and people brought here a lot of new plants, which significantly adorned the landscapes of the South Coast. For example, cypresses, whose "candles" have become their indispensable attribute, were brought from the Mediterranean. There are many evergreens here, and the variety of conifers, many of which have spread throughout Crimea, thanks to the famous one, is simply amazing.
A few words about the fauna - scorpions, scolopendras, tarantulas, solpugs and other large insects are occasionally found on the South Coast. Yes, they can bite, but none of these beautiful creatures is eager to communicate with people, or rather, quite the opposite - they hide from us as best they can. So just explain to the children that if they come across a large insect, they should not grab it, it is better to just watch. The same applies to large yellow snakes - these are not snakes, but yellow toaddlers - completely harmless legless lizards.
Electric cars are great fun for toddlers
Relief... Holidays with children on the southern coast of Crimea - great opportunity to show them different climatic zones and in general the diversity of the earth's surface - mountains and gorges, rivers and waterfalls, fresh water bodies and the salt sea, natural caves and giant rockslides. The latter are especially impressive in the Alupka () park, where there are two so-called Chaos - large and small. Be sure to take your children there - to climb this pile of stones is a joy for both children and adults.
For more than two hundred years, Crimea belongs to Russia, and the objects built on the southern coast at this time are its main attractions. Let's talk about them in more detail.
Attractions of Yalta and the South Coast - where is it better to go with children?
First of all, the sights of the southern coast of Crimea, these are beautiful palaces and parks. There are many of them, and it is impossible to visit all of them in one trip. Therefore, when choosing where to go with a child to the South Coast, it is best to sign up for one of the excursions to the palaces of the South Coast. It includes an inspection of two or three palaces with parks, no more. For example, in one day you can have time to see the Vorontsov and Massandra palaces, as well as the Swallow's Nest. The fact is that although the southern coastal palaces / castles / villas themselves are not large, their parks often stretch over dozens of hectares, and even a walk along their central part takes a lot of time. Therefore, be sure to consult with the tour operators - what kind of trips will be within the power (and age) of your children.
There are many small museums on the South Coast - in these places many outstanding people of Russia lived and worked. True, not all of them will be of interest to kids, but suspended roads, caves and parks always delight the younger generation. It is worth going to Nikitsky Botanical, even with small children, for the sake of many flowers, huge trees, palm and bamboo groves, water cascades with bright fish and greenhouses with powerful succulents.
Here is a selection of the main attractions of the South Coast for children, which will certainly be of interest to them:
- Palaces - (Alupka), Massandrovsky, etc. Taking an excursion to any of the Crimean palaces is like getting into a fairy tale, because the architecture of most of the south coast palaces and villas of the Russian nobility is rather intricate. There are towers and turrets, balconies and terraces, courtyards and sculptures, and many more details. And all this is surrounded by wonderful parks with gorgeous sea views.
- Parks - Nikitsky Botanical Garden and Montedor (Nikita), (Partenit), Gurzufsky Park (Gurzuf settlement), Foros sanatorium park. Most of the South Shore parks have a carefully thought-out layout, where groves of freely growing trees are interspersed with regular plantings, gorgeous collections of plants - conifers, palms, magnolias, prickly pears and, of course, the sea, which, even if it is not visible, is still nearby.
- Museums - Glade of fairy tales (Yalta), Yuri Gagarin Museum of Cosmonautics (Gurzuf), Stone Museum (Partenit). Almost every settlement in the South Coast has some kind of small pavilions with expositions that will be of interest to children - museums of pirates, ice cream, marine fauna, butterfly gardens, etc.
- A miniature park in Alushta - here you can see all the sights of Crimea at once on a scale of 1: 25.
- Caves - Trekhglazka (Ai-Petri), Marble, (Mramornoye village), Kizil-Koba (Perevalnoe).
Vorontsov Palace is one of the most beautiful sights of the South Coast
It is difficult to explore everything the South Coast has to offer in one vacation. So choose what is closer so that the kids do not get tired of the road and, of course, what is most interesting to them.
South Coast offers the best entertainment for children in Crimea
In whatever part of the peninsula you are resting, be sure to take your children to the South Coast, because only here there is cable cars, a real crocodile farm and, in general, a kind of resort atmosphere of an incessant holiday. Here are the most interesting sights of Big Yalta and the South Coast:
- Cable cars - "", "Yalta - Gorka", plus, some hotels and sanatoriums have their own cable cars, where, for a small fee, not only those who have a rest there, but also everyone can ride.
- Water parks - Atlantis (Yalta), Almond Grove (Alushta), Blue Bay (Simeiz).
- Zoos - zoo "", theater of marine animals "Aquatoria" (Yalta), dolphinarium "Akvarel" (Alushta), (Alushta).
- Attractions - on all the embankments of the cities and villages of the southern coast of Crimea, there are always a lot of attractions for children. These are a variety of swings / carousels / slides, trampolines, rope towns and rental of everything that moves - from traditional bicycles and cars to electric scooters, gyro scooters, unicycle, etc.
Also entertainment can be attributed hiking, both along various health trails and in the mountains, hiking on horses and even donkeys. And children will surely be delighted with a boat trip on boats, catamarans or yachts along the coast with swimming in some picturesque place.
The best places in the South Coast for families with children
It is difficult to unequivocally answer the question - where in the South Crimea is it better to go to rest with a child? All villages have approximately the same advantages and disadvantages. Advantages are:
- sea, mountains, attractions;
- a large selection of housing;
- wide range of prices;
- many cafes, bars and general tourist infrastructure.
There are also many disadvantages:
- narrow, constantly congested streets;
- it is often inconvenient to walk to the sea;
- pebble beaches filled with people;
- sometimes questionable ecology;
- high prices (compared to other regions of Crimea).
Black Sea - best entertainment for kids
Judging by the fact that more and more people go to the South Coast every year, the advantages seriously outweigh the disadvantages. So let's just dwell on the options for families with children on the southern coast of Crimea, there are several of them:
- Hotels, boarding houses, sanatoriums on the principle of "all inclusive". Keep in mind - mini-hotels usually have very small areas, where, at best, there is a small pool and a playground. So, if you are not ready for public beaches, which are always full of people on the South Coast at the height of the season, choose hotels and sanatoriums for recreation that have their own large territories and their own beaches. And be prepared for the fact that the cost of rest in them will be much higher than average.
- Private sector - turnkey apartments or rooms in mini-hotels. If you have small children, it is important to choose accommodation that is close to the sea. And even more so, you need to look for places without steep ascents / descents, of which there are many in the southern coastal settlements. After all, do not forget - the entire South Coast, this is where the steep, where the smooth, but mountainous slope.
- Holidays with savages children - Alushta, Katsiveli, Solnechnogorskoe - here settlements, in the vicinity of which from year to year in the summer "erected" whole tent cities. The densely populated southern coast of Crimea for such a holiday with children is convenient because there will be no problems with water, shopping for food, attractions and entertainment. But solitude is more difficult. If you are looking for it, it is better to choose the West or the East of Crimea, where even in the high season you can find many quiet corners.
Sanatorium "Pushkino" - one of the attractions of Gurzuf
Often on the Internet you can find disputes about where to go on vacation with children in the south of Crimea, the reviews are the most contradictory. Some believe that better than Yalta and Alushta is not a place to find, others recommend small villages like Foros or Kurpat. In general, both are right. It's just that it's better for kids to choose quieter places and focus on the proximity of the beach, but schoolchildren will certainly appreciate Yalta, Alushta, Simeiz or Gurzuf, that is, lively resorts with long embankments, where life is constantly boiling and some events are held.
We tried to tell as much as possible about what constitutes family holiday on the southern coast of Crimea, what entertainment and attractions are there for children, and also listed the main disadvantages of the South Coast of Crimea. We hope that the information will be useful to you and will help you make the best choice.
Such a diverse Crimean coast has hundreds of beaches, ranging from completely wild lagoons surrounded by bizarre cliffs to long spits, beckoning with hot golden sand and endless, flat landscapes.
If you are vacationing with children, your choice is obvious: the priority is comfortable and safe sandy beaches, preferably with a gentle entry into the water.
Attractive, unspoiled, wild places will have to wait a little while your little family members grow up. So, where are the sandy beaches in Crimea and which of them are most suitable for families with children? Let's figure it out!
Western coast of Crimea
The swimming season is long, from May to October on the west coast, you can safely swim in the always warm water, which warms up evenly, due to the absence of cold currents. Mostly sandy beaches, many of which are great for families.
Evpatoria
A fairly large and well-known resort town, in which honey sandy beaches, which are popular with tourists, stretch for tens of kilometers.
Expert opinion! The children's health-improving recreation center is, of course, about Evpatoria.
Aquapark and Dolphinarium located in the city add some joyful options to the treasury of travel options.
A couple of museums, children's amusement parks and the opportunity to explore a variety of excursion routes. Children's animators perform in the city on long summer evenings, organizing exciting shows.

- sun loungers and sun loungers (rent from 100 rubles)

Most of the beaches are free to enter, however there are a few places with a flat fee.
Note! Not far from Evpatoria there are several lakes with healing mud. You can arrange therapeutic and prophylactic mud therapy on the lakes of Saki, Mikhailovsky, Kizil-Yar and Sasyk-Sivash.
Saki
A wide sandy beach with a well-developed infrastructure is located in the city center. Rare bad weather (according to statistics, no more than 10 days for the entire swimming season) and a convenient location make the Saki beach a great place to spend time with children.
Novofedorovka
Less developed, but spacious and clean sand spit is located in the village.
Sandy and Nikolaevka
For those who prefer budget vacation, mixed, pebble-sandy beaches in villages and are known. It is difficult to call these villages developed resorts, but you can find a couple of changing rooms and a dozen sun loungers on the beaches. There are no water entertainments as such, in Nikolaevka there is only an amusement park and a shooting gallery. From the pros:
- really very fine, nice sand on some beaches;
- gentle entry into the water;
- coniferous forests, creeping up to the coast, the air is especially clean, fresh and fragrant because of them.
Black Sea
The resort village has a long, stretching for several kilometers, beach. Located in the Narrow Bay, a wide sandy spit pleases tourists with the absence of storms and clean sea water, which warms up well in May and maintains a comfortable temperature until early October. The beach area has been refined, the infrastructure is developed, the sand has a special light cream shade.
Olenevka
Near the most beautiful cape, there is a tourist town, which has both pebble and sandy beaches. Entry into the water is convenient, the territory of the sandy spits is impressive.
Lovers of water sports (windsurfing, kitesurfing, etc.) flock to Olenevka, because with relatively flat water, strong winds often blow there.
This village is also liked by ecotourism lovers who come to live among untouched nature. Tall, steep, limestone massifs, almost orange in color, overgrown with tall grass, and a special greenish tint of the water, create a very impressive picture.
The place is wild, the infrastructure on the beaches is almost undeveloped and it's up to you whether it's an advantage or a disadvantage.
Zaozyornoye
Many sandy beaches are located in the village, the largest and most well-groomed of them is the North beach. The bottom is smooth, the water is warm. However, it is often cloudy and not too clean, and there are pebbles in the sand.
Mezhvodnoe
For fans quiet rest I like the village, in the Yarylgach Bay area, it has an excellent sandy beach with a safe entry into the sea. In shallow waters, the water is very warm, everything around is clean and well-groomed. Pleasing to the eye are the many tents that are everywhere on the shore. The place is very popular with ecotourists as it is spacious and has wonderful landscapes.
Lyubimovka and Uchkuevka
Where the rivers Kacha and Belbek join the sea, you can find excellent sandy beaches, which have long been chosen by guests of the peninsula. In the villages, long sandy spits, separated by groins, are fully equipped for a comfortable and bright holiday with children.
Lots of activities ranging from inflatable slides, trampolines, scooters and bananas, to the opportunity to learn how to windsurf, kitesurf, yachting or ride a paddle board (inflatable paddle board) at the local surf park.
On the beaches of Uchkuevka and Lyubimovka there are cafes, shops, changing cabins and toilets. Accommodation can be rented almost 2 minutes from the sea at very reasonable prices.
Sevastopol
In the hero city, the beaches are varied, there are semi-wild with a difficult descent, but amazing beautiful views, there are also sandy ones located in Omega Bay, Streletskaya Bay and Victory Park.
V Omega real shallow water, as if specially created by nature for babies. There are many cafes and bars where you can have a cup of coffee or a delicious cocktail, going with it to one of the chill-out areas on a sun lounger.
Trampolines, inflatable slides, a shooting range and even a Charcot shower - children will definitely not get bored there. Well, adults may be interested in mastering water sports at the largest yacht club on the coast.
Artificial beach with imported sand Aquamarine in Victory Park not too large, but the fact that it belongs to the five-star hotel of the same name promises a quality and non-budget holiday.
There are beautiful gazebos built on the territory, there is the possibility of renting sun loungers, a comfortable and attractive recreation area. There are several expensive restaurants surrounding the beach, so if you wanted to eat a couple of oysters lying on the sand, this is definitely the place for you.
Important! Nearby is the Zurbagan water park, where you can have fun and actively spend the whole day.
Less glamorous beaches Sunny and Sandy in Streletskaya Bay... All the necessary infrastructure is present, the entry is convenient, the water warms up evenly, there is a lot of entertainment, you can even play volleyball in the sandy stadium. During the high season, these beaches are overcrowded precisely because it is convenient for the whole family to relax there.
The downside of all the sandy beaches in Sevastopol is that often after a storm, the coast is covered with a dense layer of algae thrown out by the raging sea.
They make it difficult to enter the water and frankly spoil the appearance of the beaches. City services remove the effects of bad weather, but not always quickly.
the south coast of Crimea
The most beautiful part of the coast, with a very comfortable climate and breathtaking landscapes. Yalta, according to statistics, is considered the warmest city in Crimea.
Attention! The South Coast is rocky and wild, so the descent to the sea is often not too easy, and the beaches themselves are full of pebbles, stones and giant boulders. There are no sandy spits on the coast from Cape Sarych to Alushta!
Zander

Eastern coast of Crimea
Koktebel
The eastern coast begins with an urban-type settlement that attracts writers and artists with a special bohemian atmosphere. Maybe that's why they often hold in Koktebel music festivals gathering thousands of people.
Long sandy beaches, with a level approach and clear water, bordered by mountain ranges, an interesting combination of plain and mountainous landscapes.
The beach has everything you need for tourists, you can ride a jet ski or water ski, little guests will be interested in inflatable slides and trampolines.
Nearby is the Koktebel water park, the largest in the southeast of the coast.
Feodosia

Nobody will say for sure how and where it is better to have a rest in Crimea, because how many people - so many opinions. For some, it will be bliss to lie on the beach and forget about all worries for a week, someone wants to climb the mountains, and for others, watching a fur seal show, swimming with dolphins and the opportunity to eat traditional Crimean sweets will fulfill their cherished dream.

To build the route correctly, you need to answer the question to yourself: "How do I want to spend time and what kind of vacation do I consider ideal?"
This article will help people who travel to the sea with a child and are thinking about which coast of Crimea is better to go to, where it is preferable to settle in and how best to diversify their vacation. We will try to answer all these questions.
For a comfortable pastime, you need to find a suitable accommodation on the sea.
Where is the best place to stay with a child in Crimea
The ideal option is the west coast. Sunny days on this side of the peninsula are frequent, the water warms up well, and the Velvet season lasts until mid-November. The decisive factor will be that compared to the southern coast of Crimea, prices in the west are much lower.
For a holiday with a child, the cities of Saki and Evpatoria are suitable. They have a lot of fun for children and their parents. And if you want silence, you can settle in the nearby villages: Vitino and Molochnoye. The infrastructure of these villages adapts to children's recreation. Fine sand is a guarantee that the baby will be able to move freely without risking bumping into a sharp stone or dislocating a leg, tripping over a pile of pebbles. The gentle banks and clear water will provide a pleasant and safe bathing, and the absence big waves will allow mums and dads to not worry so much about the sons and daughters of high school age.
Many parents are interested in recreational activities. The cities we have named are also suitable for recovery and health promotion. There are children's health resorts in Evpatoria, where many ailments are treated. There are several dolphinariums in the city, where you can swim with these wonderful animals. Many doctors recommend this method of therapy to children with an underdeveloped motor apparatus. Swimming with dolphins can also help relieve stress, fatigue and overwork.
The city of Saki is famous for its mud lakes: Saki and Mikhailovskoe. Water and mud masses have healing properties and have been known since the time of Hippocrates. A big plus - all members of your family will be able to take a mud bath in such a lake for free.
Some couples can't wait to take a very small child to the sea, and in this case, you need to think over every little thing in advance so that all travelers, both big and tiny, have only positive emotions. Prefer beaches with sand or small pebbles. It is oriental and western Crimea... On south coast the stones are large.
The sea can be rough. Waves of any size pose a threat to babies, and even the careful supervision of parents does not guarantee the absolute safety of babies under 3 years old. For them, we advise you to take an inflatable pool with you to the beach. If not, do not be discouraged. Majority infrastructure coastlines makes it possible to rent or buy it.
Resort areas are the best option for parents and children to relax. We will tell you about the 3 most popular locations on the Crimean Peninsula.
One of them is Kerch. The city recently turned 2000 years old, but it only got better with age. People come here to swim in two seas at once: the Black and Azov seas.
The next popular resort is Alushta. The most popular health resort of the peninsula. The city occupied one of the most beautiful Crimean territories. The favorable location explains the mild healing climate: the resort is surrounded by a ring of mountains that protect it from sub-zero temperatures. Several episodes of the famous film "Prisoner of the Caucasus" were filmed here.
Yalta is ideal for those who want to ride the most unusual attractions in Crimea. It will be interesting for children to walk along the local embankment: there are many souvenirs and entertainment. And young connoisseurs of beauty will surely like the Swallow's Nest and the Vorontsov Palace. If you have a teenage son or daughter, be sure to take them to these attractions. You will not only give them an unforgettable experience, but also significantly enrich their knowledge base.
Now let's talk about hotels in Crimea. There are a huge number of them on the peninsula, but we will tell you about the most attractive options that offer an optimal ratio of price and quality of services.
Sudak has a great place under the sonorous name Barcelona: 800 meters from the beach and the promenade.
