When is the best time to relax at sea with a child? Seaside holidays in winter and summer are the best destinations. When can you swim in the Black Sea?

The climate on the Sea of ​​Azov differs significantly from the Black Sea. It is drier due to the fact that the main water area is located among the steppes. Therefore, it is often hotter in the Sea of ​​Azov, and the water warms up much faster.

IN warm years the water on the Sea of ​​Azov warms up to 22-23oC already at the end of May. But for children under seven to ten years old it may seem cold. Therefore, if there is no task to harden the child, or the child is prone to bronchopulmonary diseases, it is better not to go to Azov this month.

The water in the Azov Sea is not as salty as in the Black Sea, so it will not harm the skin of even the smallest.

In June, the water temperature in the Sea of ​​Azov reaches 24-26°C, depending on the weather. In rainy years it warms up more slowly. But in June, the first vegetables and fruits begin to ripen, which are very useful for children. In addition, it is not yet as hot as in July-August, the heat is quite easily tolerated. And prices for renting real estate in June are lower than in the second half of summer. That is why families often choose this month to relax on the Azov Sea.

The only problem Sea of ​​Azov- monotonous coastal landscapes. There are no beautiful mountains like on the Black Sea. But this is more likely to upset parents than children.

In July, the water in Azov becomes very warm. It reaches 27-29oC. Very young children will really like this temperature. They will splash around in shallow water for a long time without freezing at all. But in the second half of July it is often too hot on the coast. Therefore, when relaxing with infants or preschoolers, you should not go to the beach between twelve noon and four o’clock in the evening. Babies can get heatstroke, which is accompanied by very unpleasant symptoms - severe headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. If you want to leave the house during the day, your child must wear a hat and apply sunscreen with a high UF factor to their skin.

The end of August - September is the best time for a holiday with children on the Azov Sea

By mid-August, the heat on the Sea of ​​Azov subsides, but the water remains the same warm. Therefore, this time is optimal for relaxing with children on the coast. There is no longer any stifling heat, a light fresh breeze blows from the sea. The only negative of this period is that in some places on the coast active growth of algae begins. They are not dangerous, but entering a sea filled with various plants is not very pleasant. Children may not like the feeling of something touching their skin in the water. But there are always beaches that are clear of algae, so before leaving, you can find out which area is best to stay in.

Please tell me when is the best time to go to the Black Sea in the summer? and got the best answer

Reply from Mak[guru]
I lived in Crimea. The season starts on June 14. You can swim before this, but the water is cool. The most relish is the end of August - the beginning of September (until the 16th): the sea is warm, there are fewer vacationers, peaches, grapes, pears, and apples are ripening. I swam in the Black Sea on September 26 at the latest. You can swim, but it's not much fun. There is one drawback at the end of summer: there are a lot of midsummers. They don't bother me, but they irritate many people, literally and figuratively. It must be added that at the beginning of June, although the sea is cool, there are strawberries and cherries. There are a lot of vacationers in July, hence the highest prices (usually), but at this time my favorite apricots ripen. By the way, the Black Sea is beautiful in winter too: Beautiful stormy sea, you walk along the embankment, very clean air. The next day - calm and sunny weather. BEAUTY!! !
Good luck to you!
P.S. It is equally important to choose a vacation spot. If you are interested in Crimea, I am ready to advise. But, unfortunately, I have to admit that currently it is cheaper to holiday in Egypt or Turkey. Not only cheaper, but also much more comfortable.

in August

Answer from Alexander Plokhoi[active]
It all depends on the time you are going to spend in the water. If we take the body of an average non-hardened person, then something like this: Up to 10-11 degrees you can swim for about 1-2 hours on average, if 12-15 then you can swim for 4 hours on average, if 16-20 degrees then 8-10 you can swim for hours. Above 20 degrees, you can spend unlimited time in water, if necessary - the average person’s body will cope with thermoregulation at this temperature. Information from personal experience, swam for many years in all oceans of the world, including the Arctic Ocean.

Answer from User deleted[guru]
I don’t recommend it, it’s dirty, oily (I’m talking about the spilling of 5,000 tons of oil in the Kerch Strait), expensive.

Answer from Mila[guru]
Best from mid-July. The sea is warm and there is no August heat yet. And locally I would recommend Divnomorsk. The sea here is clean, and Gelendzhik is nearby, where there is a lot of entertainment.
Divnomorsk A small resort village 10 km from Gelendzhik towards Sochi. The climate here is somewhat milder than in Gelendzhik. Many residents of Gelendzhik prefer to swim here, since the beaches in the city are crowded with holidaymakers and the sea here is cleaner, since the sea is open. The houses in the village are surrounded by tennis greenery. You can breathe easily and freely, since from here the famous Pitsunda pine forest stretches along the sea towards Dzhankhot. On the main street there are many hotels, cafes, shops, and photo studios. There is a mini-water park in the center of the embankment in the summer. The beach offers boat trips, banana boat rides, and rental of scuba gear and jet skis.
Gelendzhik. Among the resorts of the Black Sea coast there is a small oasis of silence, unusually rich in natural beauty and historical monuments.
Absolutely everyone will enjoy a holiday in Gelendzhik. Popular resort Black Sea coast Russia, located on the shore of Gelendzhik Bay. The city is framed by the Caucasus Mountains, so the climate here is very mild.
Like all resorts on the Caucasus coast, Gelendzhik over the course of several years has turned into a holiday destination that fully complies with international standards. Gelendzhik sanatoriums have a high degree of comfort. The city is one of the first places in the summer tour programs of many Russian stars. But don’t be afraid that such a vacation will not be affordable for you. All of Russia vacations here, from celebrities to mere mortals, so boarding houses in Gelendzhik are designed for people with different levels income. Gelendzhik sanatoriums will help you completely improve your health. Everyone will find a vacation to their liking.
The pride of Gelendzhik is its beautiful embankment, as well as numerous parks, such as the Safari Park with live tigers and wild boars, the magnificent Admiral Vrungel amusement park, numerous water parks and much more.
If you don't like fuss and stormy night life, and a holiday in the center of Gelendzhik will seem too noisy, you can settle in the outskirts of the city. Resort villages Arkhipo-Osipovka, Kabardinka, Divnomorskoye, Betta will give you a delightful holiday in the lap of nature, especially since the hotels there are cheaper than boarding houses in Gelendzhik. The villages are located in close proximity to the city, so you can go for a walk along the embankment at any time, and then return to the calmer beaches of the surrounding area.
In the city center, near the sea terminal, there is a sandy beach. There is beach equipment rental and plenty of entertainment. Along the embankment towards the Thin Cape there are small pebble beaches of sanatoriums and boarding houses. But the bottom is sandy. Further beyond the cape there is a “wild” beach, which local residents called “steep”, as it stretches in a narrow strip along a steep, steep bank. It is more difficult to enter the water due to the rocky, uneven bottom. But the water here is clearer than in the city, and undersea world will delight divers with a mask and snorkel.

Answer from Monsieur Gulyaev[guru]
I would choose a vacation in Crimea - the prices are low, and Ukrainians are poor enough to visit the peninsula, which, accordingly, affects the number of vacationers. Hotel 1001 nights in Miskhor near Yalta - I recommend it!

Answer from Irina Esipova[guru]
If the child is not a schoolchild, then it is better to go to Crimea in early September

We are clearly lucky with the planet: amazing diversity climatic zones allows any individual to find a suitable vacation spot. Even if some people prefer forest thickets to pick mushrooms and hunt moose, others prefer stormy rivers, along which they can raft at the risk of their lives, and still others are looking for a better place to spend the winter in the summer and go to the mountains... And yet There is a type of recreation that attracts everyone, at least for a short time: beach holiday. After all, in the hustle and bustle of everyday work, this is often what is missing: the opportunity to lie belly up and do nothing. And where else can you lie down without thinking about anything, if not under the gentle sun on the beach near the sea...

A holiday at sea is not only relaxation and relief from constant stress, but also health, joy and strength for new achievements.

In the northern hemisphere, you can only go on vacation to the sea in the summer. But we don’t live in the Middle Ages. Did you go on vacation in the winter? - let's go south, to the southern hemisphere, or where it's summer all year round, - to the Caribbean or Seychelles. Therefore, at any time of the year, all that remains is to choose a place... and evaluate your financial opportunities. So, you're going on vacation. Where to go on a seaside holiday?

Where to relax in Russia in summer

Three summer months in Russia they are considered the most popular. And our climate is such that in winter there is no time for beaches, and the vacation season for most citizens is in the summer, and most importantly, children have vacations in the summer.

First of all, it is worth assessing simplest option: where you can relax in Russia.

In first place, of course, are the Black Sea resorts. Krasnodar region and Abkhazia have an undoubted advantage over Europe - they do not need to have a foreign passport and change money, the people there are ours, so there will be no problems with the language, the cuisine is familiar, and the mentality is... predictable. And most importantly, prices on Russian beaches are more or less acceptable.

From almost any corner of the European part of Russia to the Black Sea is a few hours of summer, and no one has canceled trains with cars. Warm sea, sun and beach - sandy, pebble, with colored shells... - what else do you need on a seaside holiday? Best months for recreation - July and August, but the season lasts much longer: from May to September-October. And if you can’t stand the heat, and your children have grown up long ago, go to the sea in the Velvet season- in the fall. This best time for romantics of all ages...

With service on Black Sea resorts, of course, not yet... not really. Often the buildings of sanatoriums and boarding houses were erected back in Soviet times, and local residents strive to sell the sea and sun at a higher price, without caring at all about creating holidaymakers comfortable conditions. Political instability is also not conducive to the development of the resort business... However, there are changes for the better, very decent private boarding houses have already appeared, so... everything will happen. Some day.

The second most important resort sea is the Baltic. The service at the Baltic resorts is already an order of magnitude higher than at the Black Sea ones, but their main disadvantage is the water temperature: only by May the water warms up to 12-14 degrees, and even at the height of summer, water of 18-20 degrees is considered “warm”. But there are other pleasures that will make your vacation complete and unforgettable: long walks around pine forests, research of coastal rocks and - sea air. Russian Baltic resorts are located in the Kaliningrad region: on the Curonian Spit, Svetlogorsk and Yantarny.

There is a much wider choice of seaside resorts abroad.

Where to go on a seaside holiday abroad in the summer

The most popular place summer holiday For Russians, to be not very far away and almost at home, of course, is the Mediterranean Sea. Resorts in Greece, Spain, France, Italy, not to mention the developed Turkey, are ready to receive any number of vacationers from May to October. There are no restrictions on the duration of the vacation, its comfort and the availability of entertainment: everything that your wallet can handle. A pleasant addition will be excursions to exotic places and shopping, and prices for many goods in Europe may be lower than here.

The Mediterranean Sea is not only Europe, but also Africa: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt... Surfers love to go to Morocco, in Tunisia they explore the ruins of Carthage, destroyed before our era, during the Roman Empire, and everyone has known about the sights of Egypt since childhood: pyramids, ancient Thebes (Luxor) - the city of the pharaohs and the birthplace of the Sun God Amun, Alexandria, the Sinai Peninsula, Cairo and Port Said... It is worth spending time and money and going on excursions.

Far abroad provides even more opportunities for summer holidays. Maldives and Seychelles, resorts Caribbean and even the north of South America are ready to welcome you into their arms.

When is it winter in Russia?

It’s clear that a holiday at sea in the winter within Russia is only a so-so pleasure. In our very tropical region - Krasnodar - you won’t be able to swim in winter, even if the air temperature is up to +14...+16 °C.

The only way out is to go on a seaside holiday abroad in winter. Don’t think that you can only vacation in the southern hemisphere in winter. And in the northern part globe There are plenty of places where beach holidays in winter are commonplace. Moreover, in winter months It may be even better there than in summer - there is no sweltering heat. The UAE, Egypt and Thailand are much more attractive in winter, Indian state Goa, with its popular beaches, is also practically closed from May to November. Therefore, the Russian winter is the time to go swimming in the warm seas.

Nearest warm sea is the Red Sea. The cheapest holidays are in Egypt and Turkey, United Arab Emirates much more expensive, but the service is better there. Thailand and India are at approximately the same price level, but the Caribbean Sea: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba will cost more. By the way, the Caribbean is ready to receive vacationers all year round, just like the resorts of California and southern Florida: these are regions where eternal summer reigns.

The world leaders in the resort business are, of course, islands located in the middle of the ocean in equatorial zone: Hawaii in Pacific Ocean, Seychelles and Maldives in Indian, Canary Islands in the Atlantic, Bali resorts in Indonesia... Of course, it’s better not to go here with a thin wallet, but the level of service will be decent.

Well, about the real ones southern countries don't forget. When we have winter, it is summer in Australia or New Zealand. The islands of Madagascar and Mauritius, African Mozambique, beach resorts South America... - all this is at your service.

Regarding holidays at sea abroad in winter, there are several important points. Firstly, acclimatization. Getting from winter to summer seems so simple and pleasant. Imagine what it’s like to go back... You also need to take care of warm clothes, and about precautions when getting off the plane: no bravado without a hat and a light jacket, otherwise you will be bragging about your impressions while lying in a hospital bed.

In addition, distant countries require long flights, and this is also stressful. Be extremely careful if you have heart problems or other chronic diseases: holidays abroad in winter can result in unpredictable complications. Then maybe it’s better to wait until summer and relax close to home.

Whatever time of year you choose, whatever countries you decide to explore - may you have good travel companions and unfailing luck next to you!

It doesn't matter what time of year you are on vacation. There are enough places on our planet to choose the right resort just for you and exactly in this season. The main thing is to decide how you imagine your vacation: stormy and fun, calm and respectable, educational or active.

Sports lovers probably know better than all the tour operators where and when they can find the best ski slopes, the right wind strength for surfing or the most beautiful underwater world... And where should Russian tourists go on vacation, who are systematically exploring more and more new horizons in search of unforgettable experiences? And how to spend a vacation without disappointment, without spoiling your mood with rain, cool sea or sweltering heat? Everything has its place and time!

Svetlana Apreleva

We can go wherever we want. We thought about it and decided that we still wanted to go to the sea. And not at all because this is a “stereotype” recent years" And why the last - if you think about it, this stereotype is quite a few years old, remember at least about Soviet health resorts, sanatoriums, pioneer camps on the shores of the Black Sea. We suggest not to think about stereotypes - health is more important. We found as many as five reasons to be on sea ​​coast, listen to the sound of the waves, look at the crimson sunset over the sea and admire the horizon line. Straight line: only sky and water.

1. At the resort you can replenish vitamin D deficiency

Shutterstock

Vitamin D is produced in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays - it is not surprising that residents of the North are categorically lacking in it, especially in winter. “Vitamin D deficiency is typical for 95-98% of the population northern latitudes and the central part of Russia,” says psychotherapist, candidate of medical sciences, author of a patented method for correcting eating behavior and weight loss. IN Lately A deficiency of this vitamin is also noted among residents of southern latitudes. This is due to the fact that people use too strong sunscreen and spend less time outdoors.

And this shortage affects literally all aspects of life. “The role of vitamin D is broader than participation in phosphorus-potassium metabolism and the prevention of osteoporosis and rickets,” says Ekaterina Pushkova, pediatrician, allergist-immunologist at the Atlas Medical Center. “It is involved in immune reactions, in cell differentiation, and reduces inflammation.” It is necessary to replenish the level of the substance with the help of vitamins with therapeutic doses (and they are much higher than preventive doses, as Mikhail Gavrilov explains).

To prevent vitamin D deficiency, spend 20 minutes a day in the sun with open hands and face.

Without washing your face - so that there is a fatty film on your face. Can you do this right now? You can find out by looking out the window.

Theoretically, you can stock up on this vitamin by going on vacation to a seaside resort: “Vitamin D belongs to the fat-soluble category and will be stored in the fat depot for some time, three to four months,” recalls Mikhail Gavrilov.

2. Sea sand is good for feet, sea water is good for skin

Shutterstock

The benefits are primarily cosmetic. A romantic walk along the surf can replace a trip to a pedicurist. The fact is that wet sand is an excellent exfoliant; it helps the skin of the feet (and not only the feet) to get rid of dead cells and renew itself, causing rough limbs to soften and take on a decent appearance.

It is advisable that the sand be very fine - beaches Seychelles, Dominican Republic, Bali or Cambodia are ideal.

In addition, walking on sand is also a kind of massage for the feet, which is considered useful by followers of alternative medicine: they claim that foot massage helps relieve stress, improve blood circulation and strengthen the immune system.

Concerning sea ​​water, then options are possible. For example, with eczema and atopic dermatitis it should be avoided. If you have psoriasis, on the contrary, splash around in it more often. And for those who suffer from acne, doctors advise sunbathing (in moderation, of course): vitamin D is also known for its antibacterial properties.

3. At the resort we move more and eat better

Shutterstock

Disputants will certainly find something to answer to this statement: yes, exercises with a shovel in the countryside are also excellent fitness. But not now! In winter, many summer residents, even wealthy ones, prefer not to break through the snowdrifts to the site, but to calmly wait for the snow to melt. And there’s nothing to weed. In apartments, summer residents, of course, lack the opportunity to stretch their legs. Seaside resorts are a different matter.

In 10 minutes of swimming in the sea, a person weighing 70 kg burns 70 calories. For half an hour of walking on the sand, he spends 158 calories, and also protects his joints, for which walking and running on soft surfaces are very useful.

At the same time, it also strengthens the muscles of the legs (when walking), shoulders, back and arms (when swimming). But he might also decide to play beach volleyball, go for a mountain walk or ride a bike!

Food at the resort is a different story. If you travel to one of the Mediterranean countries or Southeast Asia, for sure you will eat more fish and seafood (and consume more omega-3 fatty acids, which you are probably missing) and vegetables (vitamins and fiber) than at home. Additional benefits for the heart, blood vessels and mood. A person who has just had a good dinner always has good mood, is not it?

4. Sea air has a beneficial effect on the lungs

Shutterstock

And our ancestors knew this very well - remember at least the one who suffered from tuberculosis, whom we arrogantly count among our ancestors. " Sea air contains almost all known mineral elements, says Ekaterina Pushkova. — In composition, it is close to human blood plasma: it is a very physiological composition, and negative ionization helps microelements penetrate human tissues comfortably for the mucous membranes and saturate them.

Inhalation of ionized air under conditions seaside resort occurs without discomfort, it is not perceived as a medical procedure.”

“The therapeutic effect is hydration, relieving inflammation,” continues Ekaterina Pushkova. - Breathe fresh air The sea is useful for those who suffer from tuberculosis and obstructive pulmonary disease (it would be nice if there were fewer of them, of course), or are recovering from pneumonia or bronchitis. But, of course, this is useful not only for lung diseases. Residents of megacities breathe polluted air with a high concentration of tars and exhaust gases, it supports inflammation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, and susceptibility to infections increases. Sea air suppresses inflammation and restores mucous membranes.”

The second explanation is offered by American oceanographer and science popularizer Wallace J. Nichols, author of the book “Blue Mind”: he claims that the seascape itself has a calming effect on the psyche.

The third scientific explanation, related to the familiar vitamin D, sounds most clear. “This substance takes part in the synthesis of dopamine, which has a stimulating effect,” explains Mikhail Gavrilov. — Low level dopamine is associated with poor motivation, lack of energy, and problems with controlling emotions. It is no coincidence that seasonal spleen hits many people in the fall and winter, when daylight hours are shortened and it is impossible to get a sufficient dose of vitamin D in the sun. A lack of vitamin D in adults can cause seasonal affective disorder, depression, obesity and decreased immunity.” So put doubts aside - it's time to go to sea.
