Beaches of the Gulf of Finland

On the shore of the Gulf of Finland, the cultural capital of Russia is located - St. Petersburg . In the city and behind it is quite a large number of beaches for every taste: equipped, wild and nudist. Unfortunately, in recent years, some popular beaches have been found to be inadequate sanitary norms and have forbidden bathing in the bay, but this does not prevent the citizens of St. Petersburg and the guests of the northern capital from resting on the beach. In addition, there is a lot of space on the beach strip, where the city authorities allow you to swim and sunbathe, ensuring the safety of your health.

The beach in Peterhof

One of the suburbs of St. Petersburg is Peterhof (Petrodvorets). This city is incredibly popular among connoisseurs of urban and palatial architecture, as it is rich in monuments that convey all the splendor of world architecture, and also has a lot of beautiful palaces. In addition, the famous park "Alexandria" descends to the excellent beach of Peterhof on the Gulf of Finland.

The beach is one of the most picturesque places in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. It is strewn with gray-brown sand and a lot of large boulders that rise from the ground or from the bottom of the bay. The groves that grew next to the beaches on the shore of the Gulf of Finland for centuries give this place an extraordinary and fabulous. On the beach of Peterhof, young people, adults and couples like to rest, because the bottom of this bay is good, and shallow water is very warm, so vacationers spend many hours in the water, enjoying its softness and fresh sea air.

Vyborg beaches

The Vyborg zone includes the best beaches of St. Petersburg on the Gulf of Finland and consists of two parts - coastal and forest. The beaches in this place of the bay are quite comfortable, which is why they gained popularity among the population of the Leningrad region, which is happy to share its positive impressions with visitors.

First of all I want to tell about "Komarovo" , about which was sung in the famous Russian song with the same name. The beach "Komarovo" is located on the territory of the complex "Rantis", so today it is private, but the entrance to it is absolutely free, so those who wish can take advantage of the full range of entertainment offered:

The beach also has its own pier, which will gladly accept those who arrived by water transport.

Another famous place is Sunny. It is located only 35 km from St. Petersburg and pleases holidaymakers with the best sandy beach on the Gulf of Finland. In addition, the coastline stretches along a dense large forest, which makes this place incredibly picturesque. Probably, therefore the beach was nicknamed "Affectionate" .

The beach in Sunny is state, so the infrastructure leaves much to be desired, but the conditions created by nature are more than good for a successful holiday. The shore and the bottom are sandy, the water is clean enough for swimming, and on the shore there are several cafes in which you can have a snack. Also the beach is equipped with locker rooms and urns, which gives this place of civilization.

Sestroretsk beach

Sestroretsky beach refers to the country beaches, which are located in the resort area of ​​the Leningrad region. It is located near the city of Sestroretsk. The width of the beach is big - 100-200 meters, and the length is several kilometers. The bottom of the bay is sandy, and the water reaches 25 ° C in July, but it is often very dirty, so mostly people come to sunbathe or have fun with beach games - volleyball or football. But this does not prevent to be a beach favorite place for natives and tourists.
