Nudist beaches of Crimea
So, let's go - counterclockwise!
Deserted places
Naturally, we sweep away deserted places right away; everything is clear here and there is no need for prompting. There are a lot of Crimean sites and forums, where before the start of the season you can find out where you can live in a tent, whether there is water, whether there are rangers, etc. I believe that it is more interesting to consider places near cities and towns.
Sevastopol.
More precisely - Chersonesos. There are several beaches here, one of them is “urban” and then, to the left along the coast, several are quite wild. Based on the results of the discussion at the Galina Petrovskaya forum in May-June of this year, naturism/nudism is quite acceptable on wild beaches.
Balaclava.
In Balaklava Bay itself, this is of course unlikely; again, it’s a former submarine base for the Black Sea Fleet, somehow undignified. But around the coast there are a lot of small and quite wild beaches, accessible only from the sea. By agreement, local boats deliver everyone to these coves with an agreed return time. A very beautiful beach with a marvelous view of Fiolent - beyond the so-called. “Golden” (source - Alex). But it’s better to have water with you, and the closer you are to Fiolent, the greater the likelihood of meeting foresters of the local reserve, who, however, are quite easy to pay off.
Simeiz.
Simeiz is already the border of the so-called Greater Yalta, from here to Alushta there is an almost continuous chain of sanatoriums, there are very few relatively wild places. The town of Simeiz is very good. Firstly, Simeiz is very likeable. It has a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere of general laziness, and there is no resort fuss. As a result, relatively low prices. There is something to see - some “former” villas remain, a rather picturesque park, the so-called “Alley of Naked Men” i.e. with antique statues near the famous Villa “Xenia”, the accompanying infrastructure is well developed. Within Simeiz there are the remains of ancient fortress houses. True, only the foundations and the famous Simeiz Astronomical Observatory remained from them. The seashore is very picturesque - cliffs, rocky cliffs, clean transparent water, a bottom of extraordinary beauty - there is where to dive and what to look at! But the local sea water has one unpleasant property.With strong winds from the coast, the upper warm layer is blown away, cold waters rise from the depths and it is quite possible that with the outside heat of plus thirty, the water in the sea will be 11-13 degrees! It takes three days to warm up. And during this period only especially desperate people can swim!
A nudist beach appears to have existed for quite some time on the western tip of the town. You need to move from the mentioned villa “Xenia” between the ancient statues. Next, passing by the descent to the last public beach, follow the road towards Katsiveli. Soon you will see beautiful rocky cliffs, in front of them are paths down to the sea. The so-called “Blue Bay” begins here. There is no beach as such - it is a picturesque ridge of healthy stones, forming large areas, quite suitable for spreading out both in groups and alone. In some places these blocks fell into the sea and formed small islands and bays. In total, several dozen people gather here. In the old years, in the direction of Katsiveli, in a small forest near the road, hippies lived in tents, later the hippies in the Union seemed to have ended, but the camp seemed to remain and, as they say, it is quite possible to stay in a tent there.
You can also walk along the sea from the last public beach. But you’ll have to pay to enter the beach, and it’s much more beautiful to walk on top! At the beginning of this place there is a nice corner for families. Here the stones form something like a shallow lake with exits “to the open sea”; you can quite safely put small children into the water, the descent into the water is safe, and it’s not far to go. From the sea, this bay is fenced with giant boulders, which from a certain angle resemble buttocks. The height of this structure is about fifteen meters, it protects well from the wind from the sea and waves. And a family of seagulls lives at the top. Maybe it still is.
As I mentioned, there is no beach, but lying on hot stones is a great pleasure, especially when there is a calm, clean, transparent sea splashing nearby. You can (and should!) dive from the rocks; scuba diving is also strongly recommended. Experts say that in this chaos of stones there are underground grottoes, where you can swim only by diving under the edge of the shore. The distant region has long been firmly favored by guys who don’t care about female society. In general, this place is pleasant, calm, very beautiful, the audience is mostly young and athletic, and behaves quite decently and relaxed.
Alupka
Actually, Alupka is already a kind of cultural center. From Alupka to the east begins an area called Greater Yalta - an almost continuous chain of towns, sanatoriums and boarding houses. There is the famous palace of Count Vorontsov and a magnificent park adjacent to it. From Simeiz to Alupka it takes 10-15 minutes by bus. From Yalta to Alupka by bus it’s a little over an hour, and if by minibus it’s about forty minutes. There is no point in describing the palace and the park, this is simply a mandatory program. Living here is more expensive than in Simeiz, but still significantly cheaper than in Yalta. To the right of the city, the bank is completely unsettled and uncomfortable; trying to settle there is a waste of time and effort. In principle, on the right side of the town there is a place that seems to be for a campsite, but I doubt that this is a legal territory and there is a high probability that people are driven from there in tents. To the left of the park there is a city beach, of course - for a fee, with all the necessary amenities.But right under the park, between the children’s beach and the city beach, there is a so-called “wild” beach, which again is a ridge of stones about five hundred meters long. The left side of this ridge is where people usually settle, who believe that drying panties on the body is stupid, ugly and harmful to health. When this is not enough for the people, they live on a tall rock, where no one bothers them (us!), from where they can safely dive into the water. When people arrive, nearby territories are also occupied. The dressed public did not show aggression in front of us, there was a lot of space - if you don’t like it, crawl away.
On the way.
I don’t know what’s going on between Alupka and Alushta, because I try to avoid this area. But according to reviews, you can easily settle down in the Bear Mountain area on the Gurzuf side, on the shore below the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. But in Alushta itself there is a place with a strange double name. Before the revolution, it was called the Professor's Corner due to the professors' dachas; after the revolution, it was naturally renamed the Workers' Corner. How would you like to relax in a place with this name? However, boarding houses like “Metallurg”, “Shakhtyor Vorkuta” and so on are classics of the Soviet resort genre! They say that this year the previous name was returned. So, in addition to public beaches, in this Corner there are also wild ones, where nudists/naturists settle down. They say that the place is actually the best in the vicinity of Alushta.
A continuous chain of departmental beaches stretches along the entire Alushta coast. Entrance is either by pass or paid. In the eastern (left) part of the city there are beaches that are free, but also undeveloped. At this end of the city there are a lot of unfinished boarding houses; the beaches were intended for them, but that didn’t happen. On these beaches, people undress quite easily, despite the presence of some clothed public, there seems to be peaceful coexistence here. In fact, the place cannot be called particularly cozy; you need to get here along an unfinished concrete embankment; there is no water nearby. Although, perhaps, now all sorts of peddlers of food, fruit and drink are already coming here. But in principle, the Alushta beaches did not inspire us - the water is not the cleanest due to the abundance of people. At the same end of the city we noticed several tents, which surprised us. Because if you go further, after an hour of leisurely walking you can find more picturesque places.
MEI/MAI
For example, student camps at Moscow Power Engineering Institute and (in the next valley) Moscow Aviation Institute. The Energets settled down more pleasantly, in a narrow shady valley, and besides them there was no one else there. The camp is very widely known. There are good sports grounds, in the evenings there are dances, concerts, all kinds of entertainment, just a stone's throw from Demerdzhi. Alushta with taverns is an hour's walk away. The eastern part of their beach has been nudist for many years. Vouchers can be purchased at the trade union committee of the institute. But you can also stand in a tent - either at the camp fence (there are already equipped areas here), or on the so-called. "Grief." The camp is very picturesque; a local landmark rises above it, visible even from Alushta - a giant radio telescope bowl. The main problem is water. Delivered on schedule. Because of this, their toilet is very dirty. But there is a neighboring valley, 20-30 minutes away, where several boarding houses are located, including the MAI camp. Unlike energetov, they do not live in houses, but in a large building, which, of course, is not so convenient. On the beach there are many strangers from the surrounding boarding houses. But overall it's also fun.For some reason there are no problems with water in this valley! At least the shower always works. But the view of the embankment is more organized, with all sorts of palm trees, lawns and other bells and whistles. And this is no longer to my taste. The tents are usually located after the camp, a little further to the east.
Merry
This village closes the chain of seaside villages with names like “Morskoye”, “Rybachye”, etc. There is a winery in Vesyoly, perhaps hence the name. The wines, by the way, are wonderful. I strongly recommend it. The village itself is half a kilometer from the coast. On the shore there is a beach that seems quite nice. On the left, the bank abuts the Karaul-Oba mountain range - the most beautiful attraction of these places. From Karaul-Oba to Meganom (beyond Sudak) stretches, probably, the most stunning chain of coastal Crimean landscapes. And everything is nearby! At the foot of Karaul-Oba there is a tent camp in the style of Fox Bay, but there are fewer people and therefore cleaner. Some people climb quite far with tents; it’s just difficult to get there along the mountains. My friend set up a tent right on the hefty coastal rocks, some build platforms between the rocks, etc.
Great Features:
a) for tastings
b) for hiking in the mountains and forays into the New World
The sea in these parts is very clean and has a picturesque bottom.
The main drawback is that in August there is a so-called donkey here. Kazantip - rave music festival. Thousands of boys and girls come to see it. This may also be a fun event, but not for me.
New World
Oh, what a wonderful place - the New World! Surf the net - there are a lot of pictures of this area on the RuNet. And Champagne...and the Black Doctor...and Bastardo...oh, it’s hard to write about this in winter.
The village is small, until August the village itself and the beach are very clean. During the peak season, they say, masses of people flock here and the charm disappears. There are three large bays and many small ones in the surrounding area. Moreover, the bays are real, unlike Lisya, closed from the sea on three sides, as they taught. Each has two names - Blue, Green, Blue and, accordingly, Tsarskaya, Razboinichya, Novosvetskaya. The latter ones have taken root more, especially since the colors can be confused.
Tsarskaya is the most famous and cinematic; just remember Solo Voyage and Pirates of the 20th Century. But because of the name, it is overly popular; hundreds, in my opinion, come here on foot from the New World and by steamship from Sudak. If they were dispersed, it would turn out to be a very nice place. In August it is impossible to stay, in June-July people stand in tents at the western end in the forest.
Razboinichaya is also beautiful, well protected from wind and waves. True, in the central part there are usually groups walking along the “Golitsyn Trail” (that’s a separate story!), so those who want to sunbathe and swim as expected move a little to the east - towards Chaliapin’s grotto and sit on the stones.
Quite a tempting place - at the exit from the bay at the tip of Cape Kapchik. There is a natural small beach there, which is difficult for the average public to reach. You can go by boat or take a path along the slope of the cape. In general, the place is most picturesque!
Between Novy Svet and Sudak there are several small coves favored by naturists/nudists. Actually, naked people begin to sunbathe immediately outside the city beach of the New World (by the way, in July-June it is very clean!) to the east, on hefty rocks. But further along the coast (it’s better to go along the highway), a 15-20 minute walk begins a chain of coves, very cozy and pretty. Some have pebble beaches, some have sand. There are fontanelles, people are standing in tents, and last summer the foresters didn’t seem to bother us. There are at least three such bays, only the last one has a name - Turtle, named after the corresponding stone. All the bays are within reach of both the New World and Sudak, above them is the beautiful Mount Sokol, and there are marvelous views of the Novosvetskaya Bay. It’s just that in the first one from the New World, sometimes when the westerly wind blows, garbage from the village (bags, plastic bottles) accumulates on the water.
There are not many people in July; sometimes we were alone in the first bay! In the second there were 10-20 people, sometimes they brought kids to scuba dive (it’s really beautiful here!). Children reacted calmly to naked people. We're probably used to it.
Zander.
Sudak is a healthy resort town, compared to the New World, of course. Lots of all kinds of entertainment on the embankment, above the city are the ruins of the Genoese medieval fortress. They approve. What about the concentration of cafes, restaurants, etc. Sudak missed ahead only to Yalta. The town is nice, life in it is cheaper than in the New World. On the shore of Sudak Bay there is a long sandy traditional beach, divided between holiday houses, but access there is not only with passes, they also allow you to pay for money. The eastern part of the bay is formed by Cape Alchak - a mountainous formation protruding into the sea for about 800 meters. This cape is chosen by nudists. The place is quite cozy and picturesque. Cape Meganom Closes the region of the New World - Sudak from the east. A grandiose rock structure! Scuba divers love to dive around it - the terrain is picturesque and there are a lot of cute creatures. People either come from Sudak on boats or live in tents in the bays. I don’t know how they get water! But I'm jealous. It's really damn beautiful there!
