Many people consider a vacation in Lazarevskoye an inexpensive vacation in the south of Russia. The prices here are quite democratic and are designed for any wallet. There are many cafes and bars, cinemas and discos, water parks and concert halls in the village.

Local companies offer all visitors various excursion routes, a huge number of entertainment and recreational activities. Here, any discerning vacationer will find everything that will make his stay at the resort unforgettable and enchanting.

The most important thing is that nature has given all people a huge gift - the unique climate of these places with a riot of colors and smells, with bright greens of evergreen cypresses and palms, fragrant magnolias and acacias.

General information

Due to its northernmost location, the climate in Lazarevskoye is milder than on other parts of the coast, and therefore in the hottest summer months, when people who are sensitive to heat simply cannot visit most of Sochi's resorts, more comfortable conditions for rest and living remain in Lazarevskoye.

The most noticeable difference between Lazarevskoye and other local resorts is the presence of really wide beaches. Their average width reaches sixty meters. Most of the local beaches are pebble, less often sand and pebble, but as you dive into the water, only soft sand remains under your feet.

The advantage of the beaches is the gentle entrance to the sea, which is especially important for families with children. Most beaches are free of charge. Water activities are quite diverse: diving, water bicycles, parachutes, bananas, scooters and so on.

A wellness profile is also featured in the resort. The peculiarities of the climate, combined with swimming in the Black Sea, are an excellent basis for balneological rest.

Local pensions offer both wellness procedures: mud therapy, various types of massage, hydrogen sulfide and other baths, as well as specialized treatment.

In addition to the wellness profile, you can purchase immune-boosting herbs and herbal preparations. A special item is Krasnodar tea, which is grown on the most northern plantations. Locally produced black, red, green or even yellow teas have health benefits.

Despite its rather modest size, the village is ready to offer quite active, including night, rest. The evening embankment looks especially lively, along which establishments specializing mainly in Caucasian and European cuisines are lit up with lights. There are really many cozy restaurants here that offer affordable prices and a wide variety of dishes.

Another advantage of the resort is its natural beauty, excursions to which can be a good workout. Not surprisingly, outdoor activities such as camping are popular.

Weather

This area of ​​the sea coast belongs to the subtropics. The village itself is located on a plain and reliably protected from cold winds by the Caucasus Mountains. The Black Sea influences the climate of the region.

July, August, September are ideal months to relax. The temperature ranges from + 24 ° to + 30 ° С. The sea warms up to 27 ° С. Sunny days 26 - 29. The coldest January is + 5.5 ° С. The warmest is August + 30 ° С.

It will not be possible to rest comfortably in March, the rains will flood the coast for more than a week. There is almost no snow here in winter. It is replaced by heavy rains. They often run in summer, but mostly in the mountains. And precipitation in summer is not as critical as in winter - a downpour rages for 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes the sun is already shining, it is fresh and beautiful around.

The overwhelming majority of tourists come here to sunbathe, swim in the sea, go on excursions. And then suddenly it rains. Bad weather can unexpectedly drag on and affect the rhythm of rest and the plans of vacationers, because it is impossible to guess the weather.

There are no special months in which she can throw a couple of tricks. There is no desire to sit in the room in such weather. It is better to put on a raincoat (an umbrella may not save you!) And take a leisurely walk through the streets to the ethnographic museum, you can go to a fish peeling (let the fish bite your legs), or go to the cinema, and then visit some warm cozy cafe.

Beach season

In the last days of May, the first daredevils appear on the beaches of the resort - bathers for whom cool water is not terrible. For other vacationers, it's time to get a beautiful tan. In June, the sun will start to noticeably bake, and the sea will warm up to + 20 ° С. For those who like swimming in warm sea water, the middle of summer is the best option, the sea temperature will rise to + 25 ° С.

The beginning of autumn will bring wonderful velvet weather (hence the name of the autumn sea season). Summer, with its languishing heat, will quietly say goodbye. Evenings will become noticeably cooler. Most of the tourists will go home. For bathers in September, there will be a time of freedom and peace.

The beaches will be empty in October. And this is understandable - the air becomes cool, the rains become more frequent. But there will definitely be a week of warm and clear weather. Gradually, the city plunges into a state of calm for six months, gathering strength before the next arrival of vacationers.

Vacation with children

Water parks are a favorite entertainment for children. Two large-scale complexes - "Nautilus" and "Starfish" - adorn the coast. But if “Nautilus” is a classic water park, then “Starfish” brings together a whole list of establishments under one roof.

Among them are the dolphinarium, oceanarium, exonarium. In them you can get to know the inhabitants of the Black Sea waters, as well as more exotic creatures for this region, for example, with the penguins in the local penguinarium. Moreover, children can not only watch the sea inhabitants, but also swim in their company.

Young guests are especially delighted with a pair of white whales, which also live in the "Starfish". There are also whole complexes of slides in the water park - some of them are quite dangerous and are open to the public only from a certain age. For the little ones, there is a whole water town with systems of pools, slides, fountains and interactive playgrounds.

Next to the complex (100 m) there is a Dolphin 3 * hotel - we recommend it for families.

Another children's citadel of the resort is Central Park, divided into two autonomous recreation areas. The first one is suitable for leisurely walks - with its silence and beauty of the landscapes, such a Central Park will rather attract adults. The second part of the park is a city of attractions in the broadest sense of the word - a small town of fun and lights.

There is also a dolphinarium in which beluga whales, dolphins, a sea lioness and even a walrus live. All of them participate in a unique show, which they arrange for the little guests of the dolphinarium every day.

Beaches

The beaches, like the entire Sochi coast, are made of pebbles, with gentle slopes, without holes. You don't have to worry about the kids and calmly send them towards the surf. All of them are very clean, wide (up to 40 m), with one hundred percent infrastructure - sun loungers, gazebos with different rocking chairs of good quality, the presence of toilets and showers.

Umbrellas and sun loungers are available for rent everywhere. Children can be ridden on a banana, allowed to jump on a trampoline and splash in the mini-pool. And for adults, take a yacht excursion or dive into the depths with a diving instructor.

Where to stay

More than a hundred health centers, a huge number of private hotels, hotels and guest houses are available for booking. In the private sector, there are many proposals for renting a turnkey apartment, or an ordinary room in a house for "savages" vacationers.

Before going to the sea, most of us have a natural and very important question: how and where to book accommodation. It is most convenient to book in advance. No problem finding accommodation upon arrival. Each person has his own idea of ​​a comfortable home and proceeds from his desires, needs and, of course, opportunities.

For some, a need is only a roof over his head, and everything will be fine and in order. Someone needs a royal mansion, someone is sure to consider the presence of a pool, a huge TV, etc.

Do not forget that a very small amount of time of our vacation passes in the room. Simply put, we come to the room to rest a little, spend the night or hide from the bad weather. So the best option is standard rooms, not very expensive, but comfortable. The main thing is that there should be order and everything you need for living.
