The beaches of Moscow are a purely internal matter for Muscovites. In the sense that Moscow is not a resort, and tourists do not come here for swimming and tanning. No one, of course, restricts entry to the beaches for strangers, but what should a Volzhanite or a resident of the Black Sea region, accustomed to wide shores, extensive beaches and big water. The exception will probably be something unusual for the majority. There is something like this in Moscow.

Nudist beaches in Moscow

There are three nudist beaches in Moscow.

Beach in Serebryany Bor. The most popular of Moscow nudist beaches. If you get there by land transport, then you can take trolleybuses 86, 20 and 65 to terminal station. From there follow an ecological trail that will lead to two bridges. From them you can already turn to the river, to its right bank. The beach is chastely fenced with a high fence, but entry is left free. For vacationers on the beach there is a volleyball net, and catering stations with drinks and light snacks. There are no changing rooms, but really, who needs them there. There are two categories of vacationers wandering along the beach - naked and clothed. The first ones swim and sunbathe, and the second ones look at the first ones. Swimming on it is officially prohibited; the beach is wild and littered.

For your information! The left bank was taken over by vacationing homosexuals. The beach administration is fighting them, although gays swim not naked, but in swim shorts. Formally, there is no reason to disperse homosexuals, so the methods of struggle are unique. Christmas trees and other trees are being intensively planted on the left bank. According to city officials, the dense vegetation will drive gays away from the beach.

“Swan Lakes” is the second most popular nudist beach among Muscovites. Exclusively beautiful place at the confluence of the Moscow River and Stroginskaya Poima. You can get there from the Shchukinskaya metro station by bus 638. You need to go to the water ski stadium. It’s even easier to rent a boat on the Serebryany Bor beach and take a ride to the opposite coast.

Lyubertsy Quarry is a place for misanthropes. Few people want to trudge along a rocky peninsula to gawk at naked bathers. You can get there by minibus 474 from the Lyublino or Kuzminki metro stations.

Elite beaches of Moscow

When going to any Moscow beach, we must remember that Moscow is a metropolis, and therefore, in the fullest sense, it is the exponent of Evelyn Waugh’s idea - “A benefit is not beneficial if it is given for nothing.” So you have to pay for everything except air.

In addition, the conditions of the metropolis are unfavorable for natural bodies of water, and therefore you should be prepared for the fact that ablutions in a river or lake will be prohibited. In total, Moscow has about 90 natural reservoirs equipped with recreation areas. In 2017, it was possible to swim in only 11 of them. Time and ecology will tell how much there will be in 2018.

It is difficult to choose the best beach in Greece. Which beach is best for families with children? Where is the best place to swim? Which beach is best for parties? Which beach is best for scuba diving?

Everyone has their own criteria for an ideal beach. Add to this the fact that many Greek islands have 20 or more beaches, how can you avoid making a mistake with your choice?

Crete

Elafonisos

Mylopotas

Red Beach

Santorini has the most amazing beaches throughout Greece. You won't find white sand here, but because of the volcanic rocks there is plenty of red, gray and black. Red Beach is considered wild, but it also has a toilet and offers sun loungers. It is very beautiful here, red sand, rocks and azure water. I advise you to be careful when swimming in light-colored swimsuits, because the water may stain them.

Perissa Beach

Long and wide beach with crystal clear azure water. There are many inexpensive restaurants (taverns) near the beach where you can eat delicious food. Be careful, on this beach the bottom disappears very quickly, closer to the smaller rocks. The sand here is black, so, again, towels, swimsuits, everything can get stained, rent sun loungers, fortunately, they are inexpensive here - 5 euros per day. Don’t wear light-colored shoes either, even though there are paths all along the beach, walking barefoot on black sand is very hot.

Naxos

Plaka Beach

The island of Naxos in Greece has many wonderful beaches. And if you're an amateur beach holiday, then you will like this island. Well, the best beach in Naxos is Plaka. From Naxos town there is a bus here every half hour. regular bus. It is usually not crowded here, the sand is fine, smooth and beautiful, the water is clean and azure. If you move a little away from the “civilized” beach with sun loungers and taverns, you can strip naked and no one will see you.

Paros

Logaras Beach

Paros is one of my favorite islands. There are many beautiful beaches, such as Pounda and Piso Livadi, but they are very popular and there are always crowds of people. I like a more secluded holiday, so I chose Logaras. It is perfectly protected from waves and wind by a rock, so you can swim here calmly.

Mykonos

Paradise Beach

This beach is hardly suitable for a family holiday; it is primarily intended for young people. It's always fun here and there are a lot of representatives of sexual minorities. After 15-16 hours on Paradise, the music is turned on and the party begins. At night, parties take place here and famous DJs come here. Fancy Ibiza? Here's something similar. The beach itself is very good, coarse sand, beautiful water.

Ornos Beach

Myrtos Beach

Very beautiful beach with white pebbles. To be in Kefalonia and not see Myrtos is a serious crime. But with swimming everything is a little more complicated. The entry into the water is deep, it is better not to go here with children. Well, without special shoes it’s quite painful to go into the sea because of the pebbles.

Kamares Beach

Sifnos is a very calm island with many beaches and Kamares is one of the best. This beach is great for families with children; there are many taverns and hotels nearby.

There are pine trees around and the smell of pine needles is very tasty. There are a lot of vacationers.

At the edge of one of the islands there is a gaping hole in which azure water splashes and snow-white sand flashes. " Secret beach– this is the name under which Playa del Amor is known to tourists and photographers all over the world.

According to rumors, Playa del Amor was not formed as a result of natural processes on the surface of the earth. The Mexican government has used the archipelago as a testing ground since 1900. The military systematically carried out underground explosions, resulting in the formation of grottoes and caves.

Scientist Jacques-Yves Cousteau did a lot of work in the 60s to stop destructive human activity on Marietas. In 2005, the territory of the test site became a national park. Today you can swim, dive and enjoy the sun here.

It can only be reached through a long tunnel that connects it with Pacific Ocean. The dome of the tunnel is approximately 2 meters above the water level. A kayak or kayak will allow you to sail unhindered to one of the best beaches in the world.


How to get to Marietas

With at least two stops, American Airline and Iberia will take you to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Where can you book a boat to get to Playa del Amor? The journey will take a long time and will be really expensive, but the incredible sensation of swimming through a rock tunnel and swimming on one of the best beaches in the world is worth more than any money.


No. 2. Bahamas

When people hear about the Bahamas, the first thing that comes to mind is a number of fantastic resorts and casinos such as Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach. Yes, these are almost the best beaches in the world. The small island of Harbor destroys all stereotypes. It is only 5.5 km long, and the width of this tiny part of the Bahamas is only 2.5 km. The main attraction of the atoll is Pink Sand Beach.

This is almost five kilometers of pink sand, located on east coast Harbor. The unusual shade of the coastline is given by the shells of the mollusk Foraminifera, which lives in large numbers in the ocean. Depending on the season, the coastal strip can become intensely pink, or vice versa, almost white with a slight pinkish tint.


Protected from the oncoming waves of the Atlantic by a coral reef, the beach is ideal for relaxation. The energy of the place promotes a relaxing pastime. The locals are slow and friendly in a provincial way.

Cozy home hotels offer tourists luxurious accommodation conditions. Breakfast is on the open terrace, allowing you to inhale the aroma of the morning breeze, dinner is surrounded by hundreds of candles on soft pillows near the water. Tourists prefer to dine in small restaurants, where the owner greets each guest and escorts them to the table.

However, do not confuse a relaxed “village” holiday with the pathos of luxury hotels, of which there are plenty on the beach. Evening dresses and tuxedos are a must-have dinner attribute for select guests. Celebrities like to relax on Pink Sand Beach: Kate Richards, Robin Williams, Susan Sarendon and many others. Glossy magazines love photographs of models against the backdrop of pink sand.

How to get to the Bahamas

The nearest airport is at Governors Harbor Atoll. It only accepts small planes from local airlines. Therefore, you will have to fly here with at least two transfers through the Bahamian capital Nassau and New York. The journey will take at least 20 hours, but you definitely need to see Pink Sand Beach.


No. 1. Philippine Islands

Can you imagine standing ankle-deep in powdered sugar? Unlikely. This can become a reality if you travel to the Philippines. More than 7 thousand islands, scattered over 2 thousand kilometers between Indonesia and Taiwan, are waiting for you.

One of them is called Boracay. Its main feature is the blinding white and fine sand on one of the many beaches. It ranks first in our “best beaches in the world” ranking.

The best beach in the world, White Beach, surprises with the contrast of bright tropical greenery and snow-white coastal strip. For this reason, the sand hardly heats up and it is very pleasant to walk on it barefoot. This is a municipal site open to the public. Everything is very democratic and accessible.

There is a strict official ban on any wheeled vehicles and not an official ban on shoes. She's not needed here. Just keep in mind that white sand reflects the sun's rays much more strongly, which means without sunscreen And good sunglasses are a must on the best beach.


The water is so clear that it resembles mineral water. Coral reefs are located a short distance from the coast, so it is better to get there by boat. Diving in the Philippines is very interesting, but caution is a good idea. One of the most dangerous living creatures in the world is found here - the Sea Wasp jellyfish.

The temperature allows swimming even after sunset, but at night on the island tourists and local residents dedicated to something completely different. Boracay is the nightlife capital of the Philippines. All best bars, clubs and discos are open for tourists until the morning. Such a variety of features makes White Beach the best beach in the world in all respects.

How to get to the Philippines

There is no airport on Boracay, but just a couple of kilometers away on the neighboring island is the Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, better known as Caticlan. Just 15 hours and you can enjoy the best beach in the world, standing ankle-deep in powdered sugar.


The beach and swimming season has started in the capital, and it's official. More than a hundred landscaped areas near the water have opened throughout the city, but Rospotrebnazdor recommends swimming in only eight of them. Only in these places does the service regularly monitor water quality and the sanitary and epidemiological situation. Moreover, only here are departmental rescue stations and first aid stations constantly operating, and the beaches themselves are equipped with a safe and convenient descent into the water, have changing rooms, showers and toilets. So where to look for a resort in the capital? We tell you in detail.

Beach "Levoberezhny"

Important: Swimming on the beach is temporarily suspended

In the warm season, “Levoberezhny” attracts not only residents of the district of the same name, but also, perhaps, all Muscovites from the northern part of the city. No wonder: this place has always been popular due to its fine sand, grassy lawns, fields for sports games and a large children's playground. After the improvement, the beach acquired additional infrastructure: wooden benches under a canopy, ping-pong tables, bicycle parking, new playgrounds with all kinds of climbing frames, bridges and swings. There are sun loungers right next to the shore where you can sit comfortably and, while sunbathing, look at the water and swimmers.

And, by the way, about swimming. The beach is located on the shore of a small bay extending from the Canal. Moscow. You can get to the water directly from the beach, or you can use special slopes from wooden decks. There is a first aid station on the territory, and rescuers are on duty during the daytime.

Beach "Serebryany Bor - 2"

Serebryany Bor is a very picturesque place in itself (remember that it has the status of a specially protected natural area, read also:). That’s why its beaches are so valuable: their cleanliness and amenities are especially monitored. The shore here is mostly covered with grass, but there is a sandy strip near the water. The swimming area is fenced, and here this is of paramount importance, because very nearby there is a pier for boats, yachts and boats.

As for the amenities, visitors have access to changing rooms, showers, toilets, and sun loungers for rent. Children are regularly entertainment programs. Next door is the Estate Park complex with a restaurant and its own coastal area with more comfortable sun loungers and gazebos. There is also a car park nearby, but to get into it you need to have a restaurant or yacht club visitor's pass. But even in this case, as townspeople note, there may not be any free places. Where is it more convenient to get to? public transport to the stop “Bereg Moskva River” - from here it’s a stone’s throw to the beach.

Beach "Serebryany Bor - 3"

The third beach of Serebryany Bor is much larger than the second. And much more popular: visitors note that on weekends you can hardly find a free place here. For the same reasons, it is worth thinking about the road in advance - parking a car, despite the presence of a parking lot, is problematic, but there is a bus stop in close proximity to the beach.

Beach No. 3 is cheerful and noisy, surrounded on both sides by recreation areas where music is always playing. Other entertainment: cafes, sports grounds, gazebos, playgrounds for children, a volleyball field and even a tennis court (for a fee). You can sunbathe on the sand near the shore or on the soft grass. The swimming area is fenced with buoys, and caution really doesn’t hurt here: behind the line, boats and jet skis are in full swing (read also: “25 places in Moscow where you can ride boats and catamarans”).

Stroginskaya floodplain

Sometimes people like to jokingly call the Stroginsky backwater “the sea” - it is so huge (more than a kilometer in length and almost two in width). It is located not so far from Serebryany Bor, but it is no less popular. Especially after the improvement of 2017-2018, when the coastal area on which it has always been located public beach, equipped with wooden flooring, benches and sun loungers. The paths, by the way, rise slightly above the ground - this made it possible to preserve the natural landscape of the park and, of course, the sandy beach.

The bay was created artificially in the 30s and acquired a reputation as one of the most environmentally friendly within the city. However, it was not always possible to officially swim here. Now, vacationers have access to not only playgrounds, cafes and children's playgrounds, but also a neat beach with pleasant water. In summer people also enjoy jet skiing and sailing. Would you dare to try it?

Recreation area "Troparevo"

The beach at Troparevsky Pond is not large, but pleasant and well-maintained. The sandy area can rarely accommodate everyone, and therefore many have to sit on the grass (for convenience, there are sun loungers here, but one must think that they are rarely empty). The reservoir is fed by springs, so the water is often clear but cold. However, this rarely stops Muscovites: both adults and children swim (they usually have a “paddling pool” for them). And those who are afraid prefer to take a boat or catamaran - and just sail nearby!

In general, everything is in order with entertainment in this recreation area: the pond is located in the center of the landscape reserve " Teply Stan", in which there are many children's and sports grounds, quests and even events are held on the summer stage (it can be seen from the north side of the pond).

Recreation area "Meshcherskoe"

Meshchersky pond in the same name natural park- artificial and ancient (they began to mark it on maps back in the 18th century). The picturesque area attracts nature lovers, and the beautiful beach attracts all those weary of the sun. After landscaping, a lot of trees grew on the sandy shore. wooden structures. There are changing rooms, benches under an umbrella, sun loungers, and just wooden flooring. Everything is done in the same style, which, of course, is also pleasing to the eye.

There are playgrounds for children in Meshcherskoye. The only negative: it's difficult to park. Visitors are strongly advised to use public transport - otherwise you will not get separated. For example, from the Skolkovo platform to the pond it takes only 15 minutes to walk at a brisk pace.

Black Lake

Black Lake really has a dark color - all because of the peat bottom (read also:). But you shouldn’t be afraid: the water here is considered very clean, and the reservoir itself is one of the most beautiful in Moscow. It is not surprising that the local beach has always drawn the residents of Zelenograd like a magnet - even when it could not boast of good infrastructure. Now the area has a much more landscaped appearance: wooden sun loungers and colorful playgrounds have appeared. You can play beach games, relax on benches in the shade of trees, play sports in the workout area and, of course, swim (there is a separate “paddling pool” for children).

School Lake

Children's playgrounds, workout zones, volleyball courts and a picturesque walking area - School Lake in the Silino settlement is famous for all this. The shore near the water is grassy, ​​but in the beach area there is golden sand. There are also stationary sun umbrellas. The descent into the water is soft and safe, so children can also swim with adults. But for the little ones there is still a small “paddling pool” - for the sake of peace of mind for parents. There is a parking lot in the immediate vicinity of the beach, but its capacity leaves much to be desired. An alternative is a bicycle: in the recreation area, along the shore, there are comfortable bicycle paths.

P.S.: By the way, don’t forget that you can cool off in the summer heat in the capital not only in natural reservoirs, but also in swimming pools. Full list The available places in the summer of 2019 are given in the material.

I wonder where in Moscow you can swim in the summer this year? Where you can plunge into cool water and wash off the city dust, bask in the sun without fear of catching some kind of infection.

There are many beaches in Moscow and the Moscow region, but you can’t swim everywhere. The water and coastal zone must meet health standards, but this is not always possible. After all, there is a “human factor” that can even from the very paradise make a dump in one day. This does not happen on paid beaches. You pay an entrance fee and for this you get regular cleaning of the area, lifeguards, toilets, changing rooms and perhaps a small cafe with soft drinks and ice cream.

Moscow beaches 2018, where you can swim

There are several beaches in Gorky Park. Admission, as well as sun loungers, are free, but swimming in the ponds is not allowed. There is a cafe and Wi-Fi, but, of course, this costs money.

Going out of town in such cases will help you imagine that you are on a mini-vacation and where to go in such cases, where can you swim in the Moscow region in the summer of 2018?

The first thing that comes to mind when you think about where you can swim and sunbathe near Moscow is Zhivopisnaya Bay, which is three km from the Moscow Ring Road along Novorizhskoe Highway.

This place has already been tested for years, the water there is clean and the beach is well-maintained.

Rublevo beach stretches in the same direction. The entrance fee is purely symbolic, but the beach workers keep the beach clean and you can enter the water without fear of stepping on broken glass.

Going for a swim in Klyazma was considered good form 100 years ago. Since then, little has changed and the Klyazma Reservoir is still popular among lovers of water and solar treatments.

The beach in Troitsky is considered clean and well-groomed, although I personally am confused by the permission to park cars so close to the water. Surely there will be people who like to wash their car and take this opportunity?

Beaches on the Istra Reservoir. The picture is slightly spoiled by cottage settlements, which block the approaches to the water with their fences, but on the beaches of Pyatnitsa and Trusovo, you can approach the water.

Quarries in the Moscow region, where you can swim

Lytkarino is huge lake, formed on the site of a sand quarry. The beach is popular, so on weekends it can be very noisy and crowded. Although, the beach is divided into free and paid zones, and, of course, in the paid zone it is more comfortable and no one runs over the heads of sunbathers. To get to the Lytkarinsky quarry, you need to exit onto the Novoryazanskoe highway and at Tokarev turn onto the Lytkarinsky highway.

Sand quarry near Biserovskoye Lake
An option for those who want to relax for 2-3 days with tents, away from civilization. Distance from MKAD 41 km, Monino village. Access to the lake is paid, but the quarry is monitored, cleaned and kept in order for tourists.

It is difficult to count all the reservoirs in Moscow and the Moscow region where you can swim and sunbathe. After all, old beaches are closed, rebuilt, new ones are opened, and it’s impossible to keep track of everything. But you can make your own rating of the best beaches in Moscow and the Moscow region, where you vacationed and know exactly all the advantages and disadvantages of these places. Is this the necessary information? It’s so rare that you manage to find a day for a beach holiday and you don’t want this day to be ruined.
