We rested at the Abaat hotel. We walked along the embankment almost every evening.
Unlike New Gagra, there are toilets at every step.
The coast is being improved, new cafes are appearing. We compare it with the previous visit, it has become much cleaner. There is no garbage that was there two years ago.
The shore is clean, there is no garbage in the water. The sea is clear.
It's a very beautiful place. There are few people. There are excellent tents available at a reasonable price (1000 rubles for the whole day). There is a cafe, a toilet, a locker room.
The beach throughout the old Gagra is about the same (medium-sized pebbles). Restaurants on the coast equip their own recreation areas with sun beds and umbrellas. Very convenient. If you ordered something at the beach restaurant, it's free. It seems to be the same everywhere.
