The beach is a serene and tranquil spot that offers a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, it tends to get quite crowded, which can be a drawback for some. Additionally, the sand is often not very clean and can be quite dirty. If you want to change into your swimsuit, you will need to pay for a changing cabinet, which can cost around 1-2 lari. Despite these drawbacks, I find that the beach is most beautiful during sunset or at night, when the view is simply breathtaking.
I am uncertain of the advantages that magnetic black sand may offer, however, the general vicinity seems to be lacking in amenities and the dining establishments are excessively expensive.
Although the beach is pleasant, it lacks facilities such as restrooms and changing rooms. I have not come across any on the premises. However, makeshift shower cabins are available for a nominal fee of 1 Lari. It can get quite crowded during peak season.
The beach in Ureki, Georgia, situated along the Black Sea, boasts crystal clear waters and a unique Black Rock sand that contains minerals, as documented on Wikipedia. The beach is well-maintained and spotless, although it can get crowded at times, there is always ample seating available. Lifeguards are on duty to ensure the safety of all swimmers, and jet skis are available for rent. Inflatable banana-shaped tubes can also be rented for 10 Gel per person. For those looking to explore the surrounding areas, minibus rides to Tbilisi, Kobuleti, or Batumi are available for a reasonable 3 Gel per person. The journey from Ureki to Kobuleti takes approximately 30 minutes.
The beach is quite pleasant with its unique black sand that is believed to have therapeutic benefits for joints. However, the overall cleanliness of the beach leaves much to be desired as it is littered with cigarette butts and other debris. Despite this, during the summer season, the beach is bustling with activity as various mobile vendors offer a variety of delicious food options to the visitors.
