The beach is public, sandy, and there are many small stones at the entrance to the sea. It is not equipped with anything, there is no shower or toilet, in several places there are sun beds, in my opinion paid, from the cafe on the embankment, we sunbathed on the sand, and in the heat we went to the hotel. You can swim only in special places fenced off with buoys, next to which rescuers sit on towers. There are always a lot of people, locals go out in the morning, collect some shells and stand all day in large numbers dressed and taking pictures of each other and themselves at the water's edge, so that going in and out of the water, it feels like you're in the city center during rush hour. There are a lot of water entertainment rentals, they keep pestering you with an offer to take a ride. There are always fruit vendors and some small stuff. In the morning, at low tide, the sea is very shallow, in the evening the water arrives. Russian music is playing on the lifeguard towers, there are a lot of compatriots, in general, the full impression of Anapa) there is a long embankment along the entire beach, many cafes and shops. The beach is not too clean, but it is constantly being cleaned. We were in January, the water and air in the afternoon were about 24-25 grams, quite comfortable.

We were here from February 3 to February 16, 2026. We stayed at the Dodonghai Hotel in room 2009 on the twentieth floor with a wonderful view of the bay and the city. Although the hotel is considered urban and does not have its own territory, it is a 5-minute walk to the beach through the park. The hotel deserves its five stars. Our room was not tired. Everything was intact and working. Cleaning, change of towels and bathrobes, every day. After check-in, a small present is a fruit platter. On my wife's birthday, there's more fruit and cake. Small things, but nice. The hotel has Russian-speaking hotel guides. There is a public beach near the hotel, there are no umbrellas and sun beds, but there was enough space for everyone under the palm trees. By the way, beach towels are changed in the room every day too. The only weak point of the hotel is the food. We only took breakfast (from 7.00 to 12.00), we were not hungry, but the food was monotonous.
