What is the sea and beaches in Koktebel
The resort's beaches are pebbly, but the bottom of the sea is sandy. According to tourists, many went to the Central Beach of Koktebel. We do not recommend swimming and sunbathing there! The owners of local cafes drain the sewer directly into the sea, so the water near the coast smells unpleasant and is dangerous to health.
Choose other, cleaner places for your beach holiday! On the beach "Priboy" there are large pebbles, there is a fast food cafe and sun lounger rental. There are many water activities and a diving center on the Maltese beach. The beach "New Koktebel" is made of a concrete platform. There are always few people there. The best beach in the vicinity of the resort is "Quiet Bay". This coast is loved for its magnificent views, fine sand and the cleanest sea.
Iranov86: "A beach of small smooth stones. Walking without shoes is a pleasure, and an excellent massage. Often better than just a sandy beach (feet are always clean). The experience is extremely positive."
Holidays with children in Koktebel
Koktebel has a good beach vacation for children. The entrance to the water is shallow almost everywhere. There are only problems on beaches with concrete platforms - there they go down the steps into the sea, and the depth is immediately great.
In addition to beach activities, the Karadag Nature Museum, a dolphinarium and a water park, a Ferris wheel and an unusual bird park "Dinotherium" are popular. According to reviews, while vacationing with children in Koktebel, tourists travel with the whole family to Feodosia, Sudak, to the Taigan Lions Park, to Yalta, Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Bakhchisarai and the cave cities of Crimea.

Boats take tourists to the foot of the Karadag volcano, the picturesque rock "Golden Gate" and for swimming in the open sea. Tourists enjoy windsurfing and horse riding tours.

When is the best time to go
The swimming season starts at the end of May and lasts until October. According to tourists, in July and August in Koktebel hot weather. If you can't stand the heat, come to the resort in June and September.

Oper24: "I came to Koktebel in February, in winter. <...> Walking along a deserted embankment, you enjoy the silence, the absence of crowds, the noise of the surf. At this time of the year, the eye rejoices in the blue sky, bright sun, green coniferous trees and, of course, the first flowers. "
Reviews about Koktebel: we draw conclusions
Holidays in Koktebel in the summer of 2021 will appeal to tourists who do not expect luxury service and super-entertainment from Crimea. According to reviews for 2020, the service in the village is still developing and is in many ways inferior to Turkey and the tropical islands. However, the disadvantages of the resort are more than compensated for by the beautiful nature, warm climate and clear sea.
