More and more Russians are turning their attention to Crimea. Located on the very coast of the peninsula, Sudak and Novy Svet are great places for families. There are sights and various beaches. And housing is not expensive at all.
City beaches of Sudak
Renting an apartment or a room in Sudak will be cheaper than in Novy Svet. If you want to save money, it is better to look at housing in the private sector on the outskirts of the city near the fortress. From there it is easy to get to the beaches of the New World, and from the windows of almost every apartment there is a beautiful view of the fortress wall and towers. This area of the city is called "Uyutnoe", the buses have their final stop there. Shops in Uyutnoye are not as expensive as in Sudak itself, and the choice of products is much greater. Here you can rent a room or a whole cottage. From "Cozy" walk to the nearest city beach for about 10 minutes, if along the fortress and along the stairs, or about 20 bypassing the ramp. The last option is for vacationers with children in a stroller who are not suitable for descending the stairs from the mountain. For those who rent a house in the city, it's very close to go.
There are several city beaches in Sudak, they are interspersed with the territory of the "Sudak" tourism and recreation complex. They are all free and differ only in the size of the pebbles. On some it is very shallow, while on others it looks more like stones. You can go to the beach freely, but renting a sun lounger is already worth the money. Moreover, their owners are often placed specially throughout the territory. If the beach is urban, then the lounger can be safely moved to the side.
The closer the beach is to the water park area, the longer the sun shines on it. It gets dark near the fortress at about 19:00, on the other outskirts of Sudak by about 20.
Public beach next to the boarding house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
In the opposite direction from Sudak, if you go from Uyutnoye, there is another good public beach. It is located between the boarding houses. There are practically no sun beds and small pebbles, only large stones and boulders. Therefore, it is difficult to walk on it without shoes. But on that beach there is practically no wind and strong waves, since it is located in the bay between two breakwaters. After 18 pm, you can go to the beach of the Ministry of Internal Affairs boarding house, but at this time it is already quite cool, since the rock blocks the sun.
New World Bay
Another great place to stay in Crimea is the New World beach. It is not necessary to rent housing in this city. You can live in Sudak or in the "Cozy". From the last to the New World, only about 5-7 km. But the bus does not always stop on the outskirts of Sudak: it will pass by if enough passengers have already entered it at the bus station. But taking a taxi is quite possible. The trip costs about 200 rubles. If you want to leave by bus, it is better to leave the house early in the morning, and not return at the time of sunset. After the sun has set, long queues line up at the bus stop. There are taxi drivers in the New World too. At the same time, they take cheaper, as they are ready to fill the car completely. The road between Novy Svet and Sudak runs along a serpentine road, it is quite difficult to drive along it in the very heat, especially with children. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly allocate time: to leave and return early or postpone the trip until the afternoon.
The beach of Novy Svet is sandy and shallow. The depth starts far from the coast there. At the same time, the bay is closed from wind and waves by rocks and mountains on both sides. It takes some time to get to it from the stop (15 minutes), but the trail passes through the park with relict pines, junipers and cypresses, where it is very pleasant to breathe and not hot at all.
Those who want to go on vacation to Crimea can safely consider Sudak and Novy Svet. These are cities with beautiful pebble and sandy beaches.
