Unforgettable Gagra! The amazing sea! The beach is pebbly! Everything is clean, there are enough rods and umbrellas. Having coral for feet with you, you get a solid pleasure from rest. Thank you, Gagra!
The beach is comfortable and clean. The water is like glass, comfortable, there are sun beds and umbrellas.
Everything is very good, the rest was pleasant. I advise you to visit!
The beaches in Gagra are all good. But I'm not going to Abkhazia anymore. The transfer was organized disgustingly, the plane from Adler (departure at 11.55) was picked up from the hotel at 3.20. To the question "why so early", the answer is "what if you're late, don't want to get there yourself". Yes, we drove for an hour through Gagram and Tsandripsh until we assembled a fifty-seat bus, and b6,10, we were at the airport. "THANK YOU" to the GARUDA company for ruining all the vacation experiences.
Wonderful sunny, pleasant beach. There are small and medium-sized pebbles under my feet, better than sand, as for me. Tradesmen who loiter back and forth do not bother much. There are many different cafes on the coastline, the food is excellent
We want to be there every day, but alas, the vacation flew by. Gentle sea, clean beach, cozy cafes, friendly, smiling people, reasonable prices, local cuisine, everything is very, very cool. We want to go back.
a beautiful beach, clean water, broken umbrellas, there were almost no people, the water was pleasant, stones are inconvenient, but you can buy special slippers at the market
The beach is private, the cleanliness of the beach is constantly maintained, if there are not enough sun loungers, then they are immediately brought and put where they are asked.
I used to relax on the beaches of Adler. But after two seasons in a row, the whole family had a bowel disease! Okay, I'm a man, I sat down on salted water and refused food, a day later - a cucumber. And the children!!! So, two years ago we just arrived, we came to the plzh. The water is muddy, the wife, the children are on the sand, but he dived, surfaced,,, and in front of his face a piece of brown shit!!! We went straight to the shore, told my wife, and went on to Abkhazia. We arrived in Gagra, decided on housing (apartment) and went to the beach. The water is clear with a turquoise tint, like in a pool, but it's not a pool, it's the sea!!!
Also nature, waterfalls in the Tkvorchelsky district are super! Since that time, I have been traveling to Abzasia. Now about the cons:
1 the service is weak.
2 the products are expensive, but at the beginning of August it was normal.
3 in restaurants, the quality of food is low. Shish kebab is not a shish kebab. Non-pickled pieces of fried meat without taste.
3 after people left, at the end of August, the cost of food soared not really 350₽ kg tomatoes!
4 the cost of renting a house has skyrocketed very noticeably.
Of course, it is clear that it is necessary to "cut the loot" while there is an opportunity, because winter is ahead, but! But where is the service, where is the quality?
And more. With the increase in the flow of tourists, the locals began to get a little cold.
In general, 4 stars for the sea and nature.
Somehow, dear fellow citizens.))
I liked the beach, the water was emerald-colored, and it was pleasantly warm at the end of July. The pebbly shore, however, turned into sand after the storm, and large stones were brought by waves. Of course, the garbage was cleaned, but I wanted it to be more than once a day... And it's a pity that not all people understand that it's so easy to throw garbage in the trash can.
It is in the center of Gagra that the beach is very pleasing. You need to put at least four stars for the center (Grand Hotel Abkhazia, Park Hotel AMZA), they put things in order there or it has always been there. But on the outskirts, literally +/- 500 meters from the center, the beach turned out to be often dangerous due to the presence of rusty remains of Soviet buildings under water. Just like in the game "Prince of Persia". You can stumble upon the sharp peaks of such remains with a fatal outcome even just swimming in shallow water, unknowingly of the local bottom, literally three meters from the shore and deeper. I myself almost accidentally stumbled one day when I walked away from the beach of my hotel to the side.
The beach is very clean and comfortable. Pebbles. I recommend buying galoshes 400rubles for a pair right away. Deck chairs (without mattress) 200₽ all day.
Set of 2 deck chairs with mattresses +umbrella+ Table 700₽ for the whole day.
The beach is good, the entrance to the sea is smooth, clean, sun beds, umbrellas, beach towels, everything is included. I took off the star because it's too cramped, I have to put the sun beds almost one to one
After the storm, the beach was cleared of debris quite quickly, last year there was more order, the closed beach of the Amza hotel, this year anyone who wanted to went
The beach is simple without sophistication, a little dirty, but it's the fault of tourists, not locals. The views are beautiful, pebbles and sand, keep in mind that dogs sometimes run in flocks and bark at each other and at bicycles.
Damn good. I expected the worst, but nature smooths everything out. And it gets a lot cleaner. Everything is OK. The shops are full of everything. The beaches are clean. They are slowly developing. I recommend.
We were in Staraya Gagra, I liked that there were not as many people as in the center. But the smell of the sea left an impression, there was a constant whiff of sewage.
The beach is normal, if not for the terrible attitude of the Abkhazians towards their guests. Right over the heads of tourists, boats with loud and annoying advertisements for sea travel dock at the beach every five minutes. Naturally, they pollute the water. They got into the fuel oil, then cleaned it for a long time. And it is impossible to relax and unwind. No buoys (only some hotels have them), no lifeguards. Cheap umbrellas are one plus. But swimming is out of the question.

A clean, well-groomed beach, not so many people, the water is clean.
June. The water is dirty at times and transparent at times. There are a lot of jellyfish near the shore, if there are waves. Beach stones - it is impossible to walk without special slippers. The beach itself is clean.
Gagra beach is different. There is sand, there are pebbles, both small and large. The breakwaters, according to the locals, were destroyed intentionally a long time ago. Because of this, many embankments, old concrete, Soviet ones, were destroyed by storms. Therefore, it is difficult to go to the beach in places. Look for more comfortable paths. There are no toilets, showers, or cabins on the beaches. There are a lot of cafes))) the toilet is free for visitors, non-visitors 20 rubles)).
AMZA Hotel :The beach is made of stones, the decking is not laid, although it is there, the staff is lazy, no one is monitoring them. The reinforcement is hammered in among the stones, and look, you can run into it.Sunbeds on the beach take out as much as you can then take out quickly back. We gathered with the family in a good mood, it turned out to be spoiled. The decision is unequivocal, no more foot in Abkhazia!!! For such sums that we paid, it was possible to relax in Antalya in Turkey with a vengeance and with a Bang!!!!
I have been going to this place for 15 years and I feel so calm there, the beauty of the air, the purest sea and the mountains I want to live there, the last time we came there for 20.26 days and it's not enough for me, I don't look at the infrastructure, I like this nature and that's it!
A wide pebble beach, the water is relatively clean. When leaving the beach, there are changing cabins, there is a place where you can wash your feet of small stones or coarse sand, I do not know how to call it correctly) Every year there are more sellers and touts, personally it bothers me a little, but people need to earn money, there's no getting away from it. I don't like the fact that the guys on jet skis swim right along the shore, inviting them to go for a ride. For a while, then there is the smell of fuel and exhaust. It's not critical, but on the beach you want to enjoy the smell of the sea and clean air.
