Central beach of Koktebel
Of course, such a wide range of services and opportunities attract a large number of tourists to Koktebel every year, so there is a full house here every season. In order to take a good place on the beach, you have to come around 8 o'clock in the morning. Even at 9 o'clock in the morning, the beach is already crowded, and those who like to sleep late may be left with nothing or be content with what is left.

- Thrill-seekers can jump into the water from the jetty.
- There are no stones on the seabed, so you can enter the water without shoes.
- The seabed is constantly being cleaned.
