General beaches - "coast of thousands of bays." General beaches or 'coast of thousands of bay' history of general beaches

The Pearl of the Azov Sea can safely name the general beaches. They are in close proximity to Kerch and are popular not only at the locals, but also among tourists who come to relax on the Crimea Peninsula in the search for reserved places. Having visited these places, they are no longer looking for the best. Very often you can hear how this resort zone is called Russian Thailand or the coast of 1000 bays.

In more detail about the terrain

Beach coastline is part of the Karalarian reserve. In it miraculously preserved samples of the samples of the tits-kickie steppes, they have no analogues in Europe. Tourists are attracting these places with their pristine beauty. They are great for recreation, which is accepted by the people of "wild".

Pure sea air saturated with the aroma of the spreading steppe, silence and the lack of signs of civilization - that's all that manits here every year with the onset of summer people from various corners of the planet. In some local bays, you can find sources of clean water. As a rule, by July, they dry up, so it is necessary to go on vacation on these beaches with a large drinking stock and firewood for the campfire, where you have to prepare yourself.

There are tens of kilometers around the general beaches, the steppe was spread out, which was called Pontic. At first glance, it seems deserted, but it's not at all. It is possible to meet in it not only with innocent butterflies, dragonflies or lizards, but also with dangerous snakes - four-band pollides. The steppe viper is found.

An unpleasant meeting can also take place with poisonous spiders - dooctuits, tarantulas, rigging and even choppedulad. Their favorite seat for shelter is ragins rocks and large stones.

Interesting Facts:
The depth of the sea in the area of \u200b\u200bthe coastal line of the bays is small, the entrance to it is flat. The shallow water contributes to the fact that the water warms well in the sun, so the beach season begins here already in May and ends in October.

Features Flora and Fauna

In some areas of the beach there are freshwater sources. Unfortunately, on the outcome of the summer, they dry, but in the spring they are filled with exceptionally clean and useful water. Sea water, washing the shore, warms up pretty quickly, so it is possible to swim in it already in April.

Do not forget about the local fauna. Snakes are found in the Azov Sea, and although they are not dangerous and certainly not fatally poisonous, the meeting will not bring much joy. But the snakes on land can already deliver problems with well-being, as well as Skolendra and Tarantul. Therefore, it is necessary to show minimal caution and look under the feet, in order not to meet with representatives of the Crimean exotic.

History of general beaches

Until 1972, the coastline between the legendary Cape Kazantip and the city-hero Kerch was under the control of the military. The beach's territory was part of the territory on which a special garrison was located in the area. At the garrison ground, there was a technique that ensured the safety of aerial testing of nuclear weapons. To get to the territory of the beaches without a special pass and the corresponding level of tolerance was impossible.

Picturesque shores sandy bays were available only for the local senior officer and general. Hence the name - "General" appeared. Today they are considered the best wild beaches of the Crimean Peninsula. The territory was included in the Kalaral Reserve of their territory in 1988.

It may be interesting:
Making walks next door to the bays can be stumbled upon the ruins of an unfinished nuclear power plant. Her construction was frozen during the time of the USSR.

What is the general beaches today?

Convenient bays are located at a distance of 12 km from Kerch. Their length of different estimates ranges from 26 to 30 km. Such a coastal distance led to the fact that the various parts of the beach became part of the 3rd rural settlements. They became Bagerovo, Belinskoye and Chistopol.

Each bay, which is part of the coastline of the beaches, has its name. These places like to visit not only tourists, but also fishermen. Fishing Artel is widely located in the Bay. Their networks in these places are caught not only the tulle and the Azov bull, but also Pylegas. Catch the latter and on spinning. The role of bait on its crochet is performed by a seaworm, which local residents fade in the area of \u200b\u200brotten stream.

The advantage of recreation in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Bay is the sandy coast and even seabed. The temperature of the Azov Sea is always 2-3 degrees higher than in black.

How to get to general beaches on the map?

Before the bay can only be reached on the ground road. It encounters very strongly broken areas and cool descents, so the only correct choice of transport is a car with full drive and high ground clearance.

You can not get to the beaches on public transport! Since there are no communications and infrastructure in the north of the peninsula, then the only way to get to the cherished beaches is a car, personal or passing.

You can also experience yourself and walk to the coast on foot. This can be done in three ways: from the side of the resort village, from the opposite side of the coast through the Golden village, as well as through Bagerovo. In this case, you need to cost what remained from the airfield and the takele break, followed by a road leading to the destination.

Hello, friends. If among you there are lovers of a quiet rest away from city noise and spa roller, I invite you to visit the general beaches. Leaving the village after an excursion of software, asked the locals, where to find a quiet place to relax "outside civilization" on the sea shore. We were answered that if we are not afraid of off-road, then in the north of the Kerch Peninsula we are waiting for a strip of deserted beaches of the Karalarian regional landscape park. So, friends, go on the road. On the map, general beaches are found at 20-25 km from Kerch along the coast of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov between the villages Golden and Resort. But the roads outside the city, alas, leave much to be desired.

The general beaches are thirty kilometers of the Azov Sea coast. Picturesque cozy bays with very poetic names (Bay of Joy, Soldiers' Beach, Ivanov Bay, Lilac Bay, Cow Bay, Sollykovitsa Bay, Barzuchia Bay, Wander Bay, etc.) with arched arches, sandy shore, Clean sea water, stone heaps and grottoes - All this will not leave anyone indifferent.

The reserve was created in 1988 to protect the Karalarian steppes, in which plants that do not have analogues in Europe grow. The Karalar Steppe is hills and hills, and closer to the seashore - stony jets.

Scythians lived on the coast of the Kerch Peninsula, and therefore on the lands of the reserve the archaeologists annually carry out excavations, restoring the ancient settlements and burial grounds.

Why are these beaches called generals? First, no one created them, they did not create them, they are real creation of nature. And secondly, in Soviet times, a military airfield was located on the territory of the Karalar Reserve and a weapon testing ground. The beaches were closed terrain, but Nature shouted itself about the possibility of a gorgeous holiday in the season, because only high ranks of Soviet troops were right here.

By the way, there is another very attractive name of this sushi strip with a huge cluster of Lagun and Grotto - "Coast of Thousand Bays".

And we gradually on the ground serpentine, then climb the mountain, then we sharply go down. Lead truchi raided several times, but also quickly went somewhere aside. Feeding that he would like heavy rain, and we get stuck somewhere, decided not to go down the car to the shore itself, but found a comfortable descent to the sea between the rocks. How not to plunge into the affectionate Azov Sea!

It should be noted that despite the "cunning" roads who want to relax the medium of the original nature is quite enough. Personally, it seems to me that the enterprising Russian people and comes here with the "benefits" of civilization ...

In the meantime, I admired the surroundings, our young companion was already splashing in the sea. And I continued to consider the stone blocks. What only "characters" did not come to me in the works of the great architect - Nature. Sun, wind and water created whole stone paintings!

Won, for example, an old woman and a frog with scattered eyes are sitting on the cape. Saw? And closer?

But the man put up his face, sunbatches or look at the stars at night?

But the fish, asking the old man to let her go into the sea ...

They donate, rested, bought. Hurray, managed to rain. Huge drops fell even not clearly from where. It seems and clouds far. Many put on the way back. The wet primer is expensive, and even sharply in the mountain - this is somehow not very encouraging))) we lingered a little, believing that the rain will soon stop. So it happened.

So we have discovered all new and new places for photo shoots for some time.

Once again, look at the surroundings. Beauty, Spacious! And why does people do not fly like birds?

And we gradually go down, so we have opened a panorama for Cape Syuk, the bay of marines and Chokrakskoe lake

What is famous for this white, pink places, and in some places a very black Chokrakkoy lake, which is separated by a narrow cage from the sea? The lake feeds on a very unusual hydrogen sulfide water from underground sources ("Chokrak" in Tatar means "Spring"), it smells unpleasant, but the healing properties of water and il are known for a long time.

The color of the lake white and pink from the huge cluster on the surface of the salts, but where the dirt is black. And here, in a hurry to adhe away, hundreds of holidaymakers, plunging into the "resin", quickly overwhelm the healing dirt in the sea. I was glad to take pictures of people, and herself did not dare to climb into this a swamp, so that the photo was taken from the Internet.

Good afternoon friends! And again we visited the Crimea this summer. And again in different places and towns. But the review will be about wild beaches of Crimea, the so-called "general beaches or the coast of 1000 bays". It was this tremendous place that left an indelible impression in memory and in the shower, and the beauty of nature faded. The beaches are so far visited, which pleases, because quite clean and silent. Located north of Kerch's city on the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov. First, moving through the Karalarian steppe along a broken asphalt road, then the path begins more closely along the seashore. Between the villages, the resort and golden are raised the paradise beaches - choose anything that your soul, just go carefully - everywhere stones and bumps. There are beaches, which can not be descended by car, just on foot. They resemble cozy coves. In such places it is good to sit alone, think about eternal :-)
An interesting place that I would like to mention - next to the sea there is a pink chocrak lake. It is separated from the sea with a thin strip of sushi. If you climb on the hills, then a wonderful view of the Blue of the Azov Sea and the Pink Lake opens from above.
The beaches themselves are beautiful at any time of the day and at sunset and day. These are untouched natural pearls of the Crimea. I really want to remain further. The shore is covered with snow-white shells and small, like flour, sand. Magic places. We stopped so that behind our camp was a small rock, which closed us from the wind and the steppe itself. There was ahead of the sea. We were lucky - all the days was a calm, the bottom was viewed through, although Azov and not very transparent sea. As a result, the photos turned out very colorful.
We constantly observed seagulls, and we are behind them. On the rods and stones of the beach, the grinders were constantly crawled. For all day, we only bathed, prepared food, sunk, dreamed. There are no firewood there, so we had a gas tile. From the sun saved the hinged awning. Living in these places an incredible set. Once a green grasshopper rushed to visit, and without constraint, the drying was chewing so loudly that it was heard in the grinding))) and then climbed into the mug with the remains of tea and reinforced them. And on top, when we walked along the steppe, shertowed everything around, as well as many huge spiders in the rocks. They also saw violence peacefully rolled out the grassland in the stones. But everyone was engaged in their own case, nothing terrible happened. We were careful. Conclusion: if you do not disturb anyone, and you will not be touched. In such places you feel complete harmony with nature, being part of it. Everything happens by itself. That is why I want to return here again - behind the stars at night, behind a light breeze in the morning, behind the chirping of birds, behind the dust of insects ... Behind the sea and incredible sunsets. Behind the feeling of freedom. Just treat with gratitude to such beauty, take care of it and appreciate.
Thanks for attention.
