The recreation area "Caravel" has its own beach, which attracts tourists of different ages. Especially often come here lovers dive with a mask. For divers the greatest interest is the grotto of Diana. The beach is not quite comfortable, which scares off a large number of vacationers. It is stone, with a small amount of pebbles. On the "Caravelle" it is possible to rest in glory in seclusion, but tents here usually do not set.

"Armored", or "Cape Vinogradny", can also be classified as "wild." In this part of the Fiolenta is very clean, almost transparent water and you can often meet tourists with tents. The length of the sandy-stony strip is about 250 meters. Descent to the beach leads along a steep path

The beaches "Autobat". They include two zones - paid and "wild". The beach with a paid entrance is small, only about 50 meters in length. The beach here is mostly pebbly, with small inclusions of stone. But the "wild" zone was created for the extremals, because as such there is no beach here. You can only settle on the rocks. But the inconvenience will be compensated by truly unrealistic species. "Autobat" is famous for its quaint overhanging rocks, grottoes.

"Tsarsky" Beach (or "Tsarskoe Selo") - is located near the cape of Lermontov. The length of the beach is about 300 meters. On the beach near the rocks live snakes. The descent to the beach is quite comfortable, but it will take a long time. In the lower part of the descent is equipped with a long steep metal staircase (180 steps). With tents here it is not very convenient to stand - the beach is small and is full of large stones. When descending - on the right side of the stairs on the "right beach" there is a spring. When descending, be careful - cliffs and heights do not forgive mistakes. Well, do not forget that this whole slope is a landslide - at any moment a stone the size of a car can be rolled on top.
