The shore is adorned with pebbles, and come September, waves often grace the waters. However, when the tides are calm, the sea is crystal clear and serene. The beach is moderately busy, with a plethora of cafes, canteens, and beach bars. It is well-maintained and occasionally, sand can be found. Sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented for a comfortable day at the beach. The vendors offer a variety of treats, including smoked meats, sweets, beer, corn, berries, and cotton candy. For the adventurous, there are rentals available for SUP boards, paragliders, bananas, and parachutes. While the abundance of activities may seem appealing, the noise and exhaust fumes from hydro scooters can be a drawback. Nonetheless, the locals and visitors alike are laid-back and peaceful. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway and have recovered from the Roto-virus, this beach is sure to please.

The sea is a stunning five-star attraction, but unfortunately the beach only receives a four-star rating due to occasional garbage. Tourists have reported that they take their own trash with them as there are no trash cans or toilets available. Safety is a concern with a low rating of two stars. It is important to choose swimming and relaxation spots carefully, especially with children. Reinforcement sticks out of the water in some areas where something was previously built, and boats approach dangerously close to swimmers. Jet skis also pose a threat as they weave between people, including those riding on banana boats. The constant presence of local beach businessmen selling services starting at 1500 is also a downside. Dogs roam freely and can be a nuisance, especially if they smell food. They often interrupt vacationers with their barking and begging for food. Despite these challenges, the beach is a beautiful natural wonder that is worth a visit.

The stunning beach, located within a 2 km radius of sewage outflow into the sea, offers a delightful escape for holiday-goers. Amidst the picturesque surroundings, one can bask in the warm sunshine and relish the cool breeze. The crystal-clear waters invite you to take a refreshing dip and indulge in various water sports. Despite the proximity of the sewage outlet, the beach remains clean and well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant experience for all. So, pack your bags and get ready for a rejuvenating beach vacation!

The Ferris wheel area only has one paid toilet available, leaving visitors with limited options for restroom facilities. The absence of trash on the beach is noticeable, but the locker rooms are often occupied by others, making it difficult to change clothes. Sun loungers are available for rent at a reasonable price of 200 rubles for the entire day, however, no receipts are provided. The stairs leading to the beach and promenade are in need of repair and are deteriorating. The presence of jet skis, boats, and paragliders can be overwhelming and often disrupt the peaceful atmosphere. While it is understandable that locals are trying to make a living, they should also invest in the upkeep of the beach. Following a recent thunderstorm and downpour, dirty water from the mountains and city flowed onto the beach and into the sea, leaving a visible stain for some time. Overall, the beach's cleanliness and hygiene are concerning and need to be addressed.
