Sukhum has a fairly long beach and embankments. During the entire stay (12 days), the sea was disturbed twice, and the rest of the days there was calm, the water was clean and transparent, there were pebbles near the shore, and after 1.5-2 meters sand was felt underfoot, the entrance to the water was not sharp, which is convenient for those who rest with children or do not swim very confidently. There are cafes, changing rooms, and fresh water showers on the beach. There are sun beds, umbrellas, but you can sunbathe on your own bedspreads or towels, there are also entertainment options (subs, catamarans, banana rides), you can take a ride on a yacht, a pleasure boat. The ads are not intrusive. No one is shouting into a megaphone. This beach is an ideal place for a relaxing holiday and enjoying the sea
Nice beach. Personally, I didn't get a large pebble, but otherwise everything is fine. There are many cafes where you can have a full lunch or a light snack. Sun beds for 150 rubles, with an umbrella. The sea is rough, of course, but maybe I was just unlucky. And something needs to be thought out with toilets, well, it's not normal that they just don't exist (or I could only find one Soviet-era one that stinks a kilometer away, I was afraid to even approach it).
The best beach on the embankment is with yellow umbrellas, opposite the Inter-Sukhum hotel. A good approach and no pitfalls) The only thing is to make normal toilets on the embankment. There is a toilet, but it is in the park and looks like in the Middle Ages, and you also have to pay money for it. It would also be nice to at least paint the embankment itself, it hurts to look at it
