The long beach is like in Gelendzhik, but the embankment is much inferior. It is not whole and intermittent. But the sea is cleaner. Yes, excursions in Abkhazia are more interesting. I recommend to visit the Abkhazian feast! Delicious food, drink and fun. It's not bad to visit such an event before leaving, so that you have a wonderful last impression)))
The beach is shared all along the coast, located in the center of events at the Ferris wheel...The embankment has not been brought to perfection...there are spans without railings and fences...stairs
(the descents to the sea are all destroyed), there are no urns on the beaches themselves, garbage is not cleaned... There is one changing room (hastily put together 1m×1m) for 2km and there is no shower with fresh water. Entrepreneurs who have chosen the Embankment also do not clean up after themselves.
Nature, the sun, and the clear sea save us...
Gagra is a great place to relax. Always good weather, clear sea, pebble beach. On the beach you can relax for free on your towels, you can take sun beds and umbrellas. The price is normal. As everywhere else, they offer a snack on the beach. There are many offers for outdoor activities: boats, scooters, parachutes. There are many cafes on the embankment. One disadvantage is that there are few changing rooms and it is not clear where the toilets are. Today, the embankment was severely damaged by the storm, let's hope that everything will be repaired by the beginning of the season…

Gagra beach is a place where you can spend a pleasant time, go swimming, sunbathing or just enjoy the view and the sea breeze.
We had a rest in early September 2024.The beach is clean, there are always free sunbeds. There are many cafes nearby with live music in the evenings, guest houses-a great choice!!! Boat tours
Abkhazia is a wonderful country!!! The sea is awesome. Beautiful and clean. There are umbrellas and sun beds on the beach, for a fee. There is water to wash the salt off the body. There is everything for a wonderful holiday. A. There are changing rooms.
In the evening, cafes put chairs, pillows, glowing tables, it's all on the beach, you can spend a wonderful romantic evening there. Hookah, delicious wine. Come, you won't regret it
It is wide enough for 30 meters, small pebbles, clean. Sun beds and umbrellas for 250 rubles. for the whole day. The sea is clean, there are attractions for renting water scooters, banana rides, cheesecakes, boat trips, fishing. The infrastructure is being improved, and the construction of new hotels and the embankment itself is gradually underway. There are many cafes, the prices are Moscow.
I was in Novaya Gagra, the sea is great, but the most annoying thing is that everyone got sick with rotovirus and all my friends too, the locals said it was from across the sea. So I do not know whether to advise Gagra, if you are not afraid to lose 4 days (and we were treated so much and did not leave the room), then welcome. I personally liked the beach itself, the nature and the sea, my family said they would never go to Abkhazia again.
I have been vacationing in Gagra for several years, I am pleasantly surprised by the equipment of the beach. First of all, the beaches themselves have become cleaner, equipped with sun beds and umbrellas. The purity of the water is generally impressive, after Abkhazia, I don't want to go into the sea in Sochi. All boats and catamarans have been updated. I wish there were toilets on the beach. I will definitely come again and more than once.
I do not recommend going to Abkhazia for a vacation, in particular to Gagra. The beach does not get away from the word at all. There are two pieces of plywood locker rooms, also solid unsanitary conditions, because everything is in feminine hygiene items stuck in corners. During the two weeks of stay, they also did not clean once! There is no shower to wash or wash your feet from the sand. The sea is covered in gasoline-oil film from boats and motorcycles. The constant noise from megaphones from boats calling for excursions is replaced by the roar of beach sellers of corn and beer. Boats dock every 10 minutes anywhere-dropping off or taking on excursions, while dispersing swimmers in different directions. On the central staircase to the beach, an unprotected armature sticks out of the sand. At night, when it is not visible, you can get a specific injury.
The service in the city is also a problem. Everywhere they try to deceive with a sweet smile on their face. In the market, everyone has electronic scoreboards taped on scales. You won't understand how much they hang. They are rude to comments and refuse to sell you goods. Taxi drivers are a separate song. There is zero security. Two passengers rode the bus back to the airport just on kitchen wooden stools, because the driver had more passengers than seats. There is no Kondei. Instead, there is a broken glass on the landing door! The horror! The city has not been cleaned. There is dirt and debris everywhere. I write it as it is... Think for yourself.
Gagra! The local nature is excellent. That's all that can be said about this area. Neither culture nor previously erected historical sites are preserved or maintained. Everything since Soviet times has been based on an honest word. It is a pity that the local authorities do not improve anything for tourists.
The beach itself is not bad (in the area of the new colonnade), the pebbles are normal, small and medium prevail, there are few large stones, if the sea is not worried, then the water is quite clean. But cigarette butts are straining all over the beach (the area of the new colonnade), despite the fact that cigarette butts are thrown by both vacationers and local guys who ride vacationers on hydrics and bananas, corn stalks are also scattered everywhere on the beach, vacationers scatter them, there are of course people and a lot of them who take everything with them, but pigs a lot.
Clean sea, relatively inexpensive sunbeds. We swam in the center and went to the sanatorium. There is a shower everywhere, the sea is clean. Overall, everything is fine. However, there are also small shops (like shops) where tourists are not very welcome)
Abkhazia has a very beautiful, clean, turquoise sea! The beach is pebbly, it is better to enter in corals.
The beaches are unkempt, pieces of rebar designed for umbrellas stick out everywhere on the beaches in a storm, this is of course very traumatic, because storms are minor and allow people to walk along the coast with children and breathe the sea air or just sit on a rug and have a picnic.
The contingent of vacationers is different and, as always, there are people who openly get drunk and also leave garbage, this is of course extremely unpleasant.
I don't know how to describe it in a nutshell.. The visitors don't know, so I have to tell them..
Swimmers! After swimming, leaving the beach, especially the first days, eat Enterosgel, those who have been there will understand.. we do not drink water from the sea from the word at all! The water in the taps is good - don't be blissful.. on the shore, we buy fatty 2 times after thinking "can you?, will the liver cope?" It is extremely difficult to find real chacha, homemade honey wine even "from your own" - do not flatter yourself.. it is necessary to know where and from whom.. canteens are suitable for food, I would say.. the cafe, you can say, too, but take the often ordered menu in this cafe.. here you need to understand the taste of spoiled..
Theft on the beach is less and less, at home even less..
for housing: if you rent a house, an apartment, do not count on service, something will definitely break or there will be a broken one - no one will look for repairmen, and this is a problem.. an option for a relaxing and decent holiday is hotels like Alex or Palm, the latter is brand new!! This is from the "+"
, please pay special attention to excursions! 👍
As a rule, hotels have recommended taxis and excursions - these are
And behave simply, but culturally and disciplined, you + from the locals and in karma😘
The beach is clean, the sea is clean, there are sun beds and umbrellas for convenience, but they are paid. Of the minuses, there are sun beds very close to each other and a lot of people who do not want to pay for a sunbed and an umbrella, but are trying to get under already paid ones
Four only for pebbles, but this is nature, everyone knows that the beach on the Black Sea is sandy and pebbly. We were vacationing at a hotel with our own beach, so we were not disturbed on the craters. And nearby, on the public beach, sun beds and umbrellas are paid and boats and various vessels constantly stick, which invite you to boat trips.
Cool beach, clean water, a lot of paid entertainment. Pebble beach, convenient descent into the water. I feel free to put 5, although, of course, everything is known in comparison. There is no dispute about tastes. I liked everything
It feels like you are in paradise. The beach is clean and pebbly. The sea is blue. View from the sea to the mountains. The nature of Abkhazia is fascinating. We've been coming here for three years, I really like it.
Everything is as usual in Abkhazia. Of course, every year there are noticeable changes for the better. I would like to see more attention paid to cleaning the territory. And so, in general, everything is fine. The main sea is at an altitude.
A nice clean beach, everything you need is available or within walking distance, I rent a ball for a not very pleasant descent (stairs) from the embankment to the beach
The hotel's beach is kept clean. Sun loungers, umbrellas - everything is there. A big minus, and this is a minus of the entire coast of Abkhazia, is boat trips, jet skiing, bananas. Enticing, they drive 10 meters from the shore, almost over their heads. They are openly rude to comments. The sea is clean only while they are sleeping, until 8 am, and then the noise of boats and the smell of salami... A similar business is also developed in Sochi, but there are rules.
The view is wonderful, the shore is rocky, pebbles, you can buy umbrellas and deck chairs. The water is warm and clean. But the cleanliness is not very well monitored.
Toilets every 5 meters. And drain into the sea. It makes itself felt in the form of various rotovirus diseases. I would like to see more of nature and swim, but alas. I spent almost all my time in the beach toilets, which are located 5 meters from each other. At least 2 stars. For their absence would be quite depressing.
A very clean pebble beach, the sea is clear and warm. Beautiful view of the mountains. There are many cafes with sea views nearby. Among the disadvantages, there are no changing booths.
Nice, clean pebble beach! There are plenty of entertainment programs for children, cafes along the pier are full, a variety of cuisine for every taste and budget
There is garbage everywhere, cigarette butts, probably because there are no bins, only garbage cans, to which you need to climb to the embankment, and for this you need to get fully dressed - Abkhazia. A little to the right, directly across the beach into the sea from one of the hotels, sewage flows in an open form, so I recommend swimming closer to the Ferris wheel, otherwise E. coli is guaranteed to you.
Well, not the whole beach, but only in the Cafe area by the sea. You're really freaking out here. And the bottom is good and the water is clean, and there are not many people even in the season itself. If we talk about the beach in novaya Gagra, then 3, but that's another story.
Deck chairs are expensive. It would be better if they took 100 rubles before lunch and 100 after. Many people come either in the morning or only in the evening. After 16.00. And at 18.00 the chaise longue is taken away. It makes no sense to give 200 rubles a day if you come for 2 hours.
In general, the beach is good.. You can hold it somewhere and swim. But there are a lot of people there, even words cannot convey how many, and there are also drains and stink. But you can do as we do, go far away and their twi won't be there. A good one, I advise you.
the beach is wide, but there are fittings, you have to be careful.
summer 2024:
umbrella 200
chaise longue 200
medium-sized pebbles, it is uncomfortable to swim without special shoes, it is better to buy)
I had a rest in Gagra in September 2023. What I would like to note about the beach. The shore is pebbly, without special shoes, the entrance to the sea is painful (buy shoes immediately upon arrival). The sea is gorgeous! But a few nuances spoil everything: the most important one! Boats are constantly coming to the shore, there is simply no designated area for them. On the day of our arrival in Gagra, a man's leg was torn by a valve from a boat ... the outcome is lethal (
But to our surprise, the next day the boats also sailed to the shore as if nothing had happened… Dear, with this approach, sharks are not terrible, boats literally float over their heads…
The second disadvantage: there are no bins (or at least bins) for garbage anywhere. Dirty everywhere! Just complete unsanitary conditions! How do you, the local authorities and residents of Abkhazia not feel sorry to litter such a fabulous nature?
There are sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach. The beach where we rested, the whole situation was saved by the cafe "Thirst". At least something ... a very cozy cafe, with delicious cuisine, reasonable prices and modern design.
There are no lifeguards on the beach.
The sea is clear and clean. The beach is clean, pebbles. We visited for the first time in the second half of July in 2024. There were not many vacationers. It's generally beautiful and good. If it works out, we'll go again.
A clean beach , you can rent a chaise longue and an umbrella .Lots of water activities. I really liked that there is a ban on the fact that you can not be in a swimsuit outside the beach.
I have been to Abkhazia twice this summer, and I would return for the third time.... 😍😍
This is better than Turkey, definitely in the summer we will come for half a month already ...
With love, guests From-Pb.
A fairly wide beach, with a strip of sand. Lots of sun loungers and umbrellas (for August/September 2023 200 rubles per piece for the whole day).
There are a lot of entertainment such as bananas, buns, sap boards and water scooters. Boats of different sizes with excursions are often suitable, ready to take you into the sunset :)
Of the cons: the buoys are too close in my opinion, as if for children. And one locker room and one shower in different places on the beach (maybe there are more, but apparently they were hiding)
But insanely beautiful sunsets in the sea :)
Gagra is Love at first sight, the only thing on the embankment, I want to clean up the garbage that spoils both the appearance and the mood!!!In general, Abkhazia is beautiful!!!!
Excellent beach, clean, good water, the beach is often cleaned by merchants who are not happy. there are no disadvantages from the word at all.
I recommend that you will not regret if you spend your vacation
Water, you can get poisoned, you will be sick for about three days to two weeks. In rare cases , up to a month . There will be constant vomiting, regardless of whether it is day or night.
When we walked along the beach there was a hotel and it was pouring out from under it, you know.
You can't land anywhere this year . This is certainly bad. 🤦 Consider that the entire embankment is for hotel guests 🤦 You can not lie down next to the sun loungers . Sun loungers are placed near the sea .

I really like to relax in Abkhazia, we really love Gagra, Galician beaches, it's better to wear coral slippers, and most importantly, do not drink water in the sea from the tap, it's better to buy water, as well as a great vacation, the gentle sea and delicious wine (in factory packaging)
There are a lot of people in the season and very small "free zones" without an umbrella and sun beds. In addition, they are considered technical, where catamarans, boats, jet skis with cheesecakes and bananas constantly dock
The pebble beach in the village is large and small, it is quite steep, a new embankment has almost been completed, the sea is clean, there is a lot of greenery in the city
The beach is clean , the sea is warm , there are toilets in the cafe , the view is beautiful . The continuation of Adler beach , only less populated , as well as less equipped . Everyone in the cafe is Russian , but there are few people . The cafe is not expensive , but service is included in the price everywhere. In the evening , locals fight on the embankment , with each other and not only . I recommend driving further.
Gagra Beach. 03.07.23 -- 23.07.23. The overall impression is normal. The beach is not big, there were enough places. It was not convenient to swim without special shoes, it hurt my feet. It was a little dirty after the storm, but they quickly put it in order. Oddly enough, the bins are garbage.there is no beach, you need to pack it in a bag to then throw it away. Umbrella 200p., sunbed 200p. Uncle Arkady is watching you.and an umbrella. They drive boats close to the shore. Motor ships dock directly to the shore, next to the swimmers. The sun, the sea, the tan- we got it.
The only plus is the sea, the rest "screams" you need an arrangement, from stairs and changing rooms to umbrellas and sun beds, only the price is 200 rubles, and comfort is 200!
Everything is fine, one thing is bad-they want to ban the sale of beer on the beach. And I don't know from where, this year there was a pebble on the shore in oil. I.e. there was once an oil spill nearby. And from time to time you notice oil stains on your body (((
