Climate and weather
The resort has a rather mild climate, it is relatively not hot here in summer, while the water temperature is kept at an acceptable level until mid-autumn.
- The average air temperature in May is 15 degrees, and the maximum 32 ° C,
- In June the temperature reaches 20 ° C and 36 ° C respectively,
- In July 23 ° C and 39 ° C,
- In August 23 ° C and 36 ° C.
Most sunny days per year are observed in September - an average of 19 days per month. In July, there are usually 18 sunny days at a beach resort, 17 in August and 15 days in June, that is, the weather is gloomy for half a month.
In general, the climate of Gelendzhik is often called Crimean - it is dry, but at the same time warm and combines the features of both sea and mountain. Fresh coastal winds often blow, thanks to which the heat is almost never tiresome; the city's climate is considered milder and more comfortable than in Sochi.
Winters in the resort are mild, even in the coldest month, January, the average air temperature is 4 degrees above zero. However, sometimes frosts do occur and the temperature drops to -10, and sometimes even to -20, although it quickly returns to a more comfortable range.
One of the most important climate issues is the water temperature at different times of the beach season. Swimming in the sea becomes possible in May, however, only at the very end of the month, on the 20th.
The sea temperature warms up to 19-20 degrees, but it becomes really comfortable to swim in june - by the middle of the month, the water warms up to 23 degrees, so if you want to swim 100% comfortably, plan a vacation from mid-June.
During july the water warms up from 23 to 26 degrees and becomes very warm, many do not even like this period of rest, because the water does not cool the body properly after the heat. In August, the water temperature reaches 27 degrees, but by the end of the month it begins to drop rapidly.
V september the water is still at a comfortable level and its average temperature is 2 degrees. However, in October the water cools down to 18 degrees, so the beginning of October is the last moment for a comfortable swim.
The best beaches of Gelendzhik
The length of the coastline is about 100 km, on which more than 150 beaches fit. Due to the peculiarities of the location of the bay of the city, the water here is warmer, but outside the bay it is cleaner. Almost all the beaches of Gelendzhik pebble - pebbles are small, and the bottom is usually sandy.
Main beach - central city, which has a length of 1.5 km, has an excellent developed infrastructure for recreation, including cafes, sports grounds, rescue towers, etc. On the embankment of the resort there is a huge number of sanatoriums and boarding houses that have private, closed beaches, you can book them here, which I gave above.
The most prestigious in the city - beach of the sanatorium "Krasnaya Talka", the entrance is limited, however, for a fee, you can use this wonderful place to relax. The coast is a mixture of gravel and river sand. Take note, I advise you to spend your summer vacation in Gelendzhik with children here.
The hotel also boasts excellent private coasts "Gelendzhik Resort & SPA" and sanatorium "Chernomorets", there are not many people here, free sun loungers are almost always available, the places are clean, well-groomed, and the entrance to the water is convenient.
If you want to visit the cleanest beaches of Gelendzhik, then you should definitely go outside the big bay. Closer to the thick cape, there are many wild places - one of the most unusual is called "Krucha”And is located under the rocky cliffs. It has no facilities, but it is considered one of the cleanest in the area.
The vacation will be gorgeous if you choose convenient conditions for spending time by the sea. One of the best beaches for families with children in Gelendzhik - "Blue Bay”, It is located to the west of the Tonky Cape. The coast is not crowded, the water is clear and has a bluish tint due to the reflection of the sky. Sandy beaches prevail in the Blue Bay area, which children love the most.
