Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Skif beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

10 Exceptional

We have visited Nikolaevka Beach in 2017, 2018, and 2019 and we really enjoy it. The sea is still clean and the sunsets are amazing. The beach has gray sand with pebble, which is unique. Everything is conveniently located nearby, including the market, dining room, and cafes. If you have a car, you can explore the beautiful Crimea, including Balaklava, Sevastopol, Yalta, Ai Petri, Saki, Evpatoria, Bakhchisarai, Simferopol, and Swallow's Nest. We definitely plan on returning.

The beach at Skif has a retro feel to it, but some may find it charming. The sand is gray and pebbly.

The beach features gray sand mixed with pebbles, giving it a unique texture. The small pebbles and coarse sand make it a bit rough underfoot, but still enjoyable for those who don't mind.
