According to the law, hotels and other recreational facilities cannot close the beaches that are located on their territory. Local residents have every right to relax in these areas and must pay only the rent of beach equipment. In some hotels, the local population rests in a separate area so as not to disturb the tourists who stay in them.

How long to plan a vacation in the Crimea with children

The first summer month is not very popular among tourists. During this period, the temperature of the sea water can be low due to cold currents that cool the water.

But in the period from July to August, the peninsula seems to come to life, filled with a large number of vacationers who come with children of different ages. The weather stabilizes, the air temperature reaches 30 ° C and above, and the water warms up to 24 ° C. However, as the weather improves, so do the prices.

September is ideal for families with young children. During this period, prices become much lower, and weather conditions remain the same.
