There is no beach there, swimming was banned and an "eagle" was planted, waiting for who would get into the water and who would be fined (the big question is on what grounds). We used to go for a swim in the lake, but now there's no point in going
It's a great place. But it's better not to go on a weekend, the road is just a delight. You need to drive through the main observation deck and go around the lake and abandon on the opposite shore. In 20, we swam there, and in 21 there were already forbidding signs... And also, if you plan to shoot on a drone, be careful, it was stolen from me..... And the last frames were only recorded in the phone.....
A good place with excellent views of the lake, even in winter, which is definitely worth a visit. Nevertheless, the place itself can be considered difficult to access, because the road is narrow at the entrance to the lake in the area of the first observation deck, where cars are parked on the side, as a result, two oncoming streams jostle and cannot separate, killing travel time. In winter, part of the road is covered with ice, and light cars on summer tires will not pass here - spikes or four-wheel drive are needed.
Sooooooo beautiful! It's indescribable! And most importantly, unlike the central embankment, there are few people here, it is fashionable to park quietly and sit on the shore without fear of being stepped on

The place itself is charming! It's very beautiful here! If you are visiting Abkhazia, be sure to visit the Ritsa and the surrounding area!
Taking into account the money collected daily for entry (entry) and the huge cross-country ability, it would be possible to clean the lake, at least the shores from construction and other debris, repair the road going up into the mountains.
Beautiful location, convenient access to the beach. They ride catamarans. Swimming and riding on their boats is prohibited by the tenants of the beach. Security immediately leaves. It is also forbidden to build bonfires and burn barbecues.
The place is interesting. We took catamarans, promised that we would see a lot of cool places in half an hour. As a result, in order to keep within the time limit and not overpay, my wife and I fucked like slaves on galleys. We saw the top of the mountain and part of the waterfall. I didn't see anything super cool on catamarans. But the location is interesting
In general, swimming in the lake is strictly prohibited. And I'm sticking to that, too. But many people go into the water to wet their feet. And some even swim. But the place is beautiful and less crowded than where all the cafes are. Buses do not bring tourists here. That's why I like this place.
This is the case when while on the road, enjoying the views from the car window and music, you realize that this is one of the best days of your life.
When you are there, take your time, inhale the aroma of the Rice deeper, time flies quickly there.
Pizza is the most magnificent and crooked place. Cool air, beautiful places. Local security is not allowed to swim on the beach. And so I wanted to plunge into the beautiful and clean refreshing Ricin water. By the way, the water is quite cool.
I lived on the beach of Ritsa for two days, only good impressions remained, there is a mongol zone, tables under a canopy where you can eat your barbecue, there are even garbage containers that are cleaned every morning.
A great place to explore the lake is not from the observation deck, where all tourists are brought. There is also a camping site, catamaran rental. We stayed there overnight. What kinds of views open early in the morning - 🔥

You can't swim, you can't wear swimsuits, everything is built up and crowded with catamarans and boats, why such crowds of people go there is not clear at all, the lake is like a lake, but beautiful, no more. And if you go on a tour for several hours by bus, then you should be disappointed.
It is very beautiful, beautiful nature , Lake Ritsa, waterfalls, a pleasant guide, the girl Kama tells a very interesting story, a good person, the driver Yuri, everything was very good and interesting
A river flowing into the sea, the difference between mountain water and sea water.... What else is needed? of course, the neighborhood of mountains and relict plants. And the air .... You breathe deeply...
The lake and the mountains are beautiful. It's just beyond words.
But people spoil everything as always:
1) expensive prices in cafes
2) low-level cafes a la self-service canteens
3) a lot of people and screams
4) unkempt appearance and garbage
5) fences should have been painted a long time ago
6) the owners of catamarans have "occupied" the territory and now it is impossible to go down to the water for a beautiful photo. you can only go down if you buy a catamaran ride (600 per person)
There's a fire and it says it all! We eat there and get high!)
No, it's better not to eat, there are so many people there, I'm fine there without you!)))
How not to give 5 stars? A cozy place with a beautiful view, there is a place to sit in nature, a specific nature, next to the ruins. One of the places where you can go to the water and see the reflection of the mountains in peace, without a giant crowd of tourists.
The beach - you can't swim, you won't be able to sunbathe, because there are a lot of tourists!
We arrived at 8.00 and enjoyed the beauty of nature without the crowd!
The entrance fee is 700 rubles.
We came to this beach when we went to Lake Ritsa for the second time. I highly recommend it! Without visiting this place, the impression of the lake is not complete. Take the time and go there- very close to the parking lot on the Ritz. I don't want to leave there. Very strong impressions. There flows a river that feeds the lake. But you can't swim there. You can only take a walk, sit, admire. You can have a picnic if you have time. Remember for a long time!
Beautiful nature, but everything is spoiled by the Abkhazians who want to cut money from you from scratch. Drive through the main site, from the beach and from the site where the bird's beak waterfall the view is much better.
This is something extraordinary, even before you get to the lake you will gain impressions, and the lake itself is just a fairy tale!!! If someone has not been there, you definitely need to visit!!
Nature in Abkhazia is a fire!
People spoil everything themselves. Well, the Abkhazians are looking for benefits in everything. They built a bunch of expensive cafes on the lake, where the food is terrible and the service is terrible. They launched a thousand catamarans on the lake, and all sorts of entertainment, in general, they squeeze money out of it. It became noisy, ugly and dirty. At least the fence was painted, or something (look at the fence in the photo, it looks contrasting against the background of beautiful nature)
The Ritsa is unrealistically beautiful, especially if you leave the place where tourists are brought deep to the other side, where only you and nature are. The road to the Ritz is a separate journey. If you want to enjoy the Ritz completely, then take an excursion only to the Ritz and spend the whole day there. I go there on my own and that's the only reason I've studied everything in full.
