Where to go to the sea in October when it is cloudy and rainy in Russia? Despite the fact that summer is over, everyone can find many places on the planet that can satisfy the desires of beach and water sports lovers.
Where to go in October for a seaside vacation?
Europe becomes "cool" in October, so the centers of attraction for tourists are moving to other regions. By this time, Turkey, Spain and other resorts "fold", giving way to Egypt. In October, there is no unbearable heat, the air warms up to + 30˚C, and the water up to + 27˚C. In addition, prices for tours to Egypt have not yet managed to jump (their growth has been observed since November).
A good choice in October can be a vacation in Sicily: the sea here will be still warm all month (+ 23-24˚C), and the prices will pleasantly please tourists (they are lower than in summer and September). But in any case, it is better to go to Sicily at the beginning of the month, since the weather at the end of October is likely to be “capricious”.
Despite the fact that in the middle of autumn holidays in Rhodes (for budget travelers on a note: prices for October tours are among the lowest in the year) may be darkened by wind and short-term rain, the sea during this period is usually calm and does not have time to cool down (at the beginning of the month the temperature water is about + 25˚C). Fans of windsurfing and kitesurfing are recommended to “occupy” the southern and western coasts, and for beginners the east coast is suitable (there are less waves there). If you wish, you can also devote the second month of autumn to a wine tour by going on an excursion, for example, to the CAIR winery.
Holidays on the beaches of the Canary Islands
In the midst of autumn, the Canaries are able to give travelers a summer mood, especially since the daytime and evening temperature indicators are practically at the same level (+ 24-26˚C). It is worth noting that Tenerife is 1-2˚C cooler at this time than Gran Canaria.
Vacationers will love the following beaches of the Canary Islands:
- Playa del Ingles: This nearly 3 km long beach is suitable for water skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing and sailing. For disabled people on Playa del Ingles there are ramps (they go down to the sand).
- Playa de las Vistas: since the beach is located in an artificial bay, the coastal water area is protected from the waves, and the beach goers are protected from the wind. Here you will be able to soak up the fine golden sand (those who wish can rent a sunbed and an umbrella), see a fountain standing on a bulk pedestal of stones (it sprays water from the ocean), ride a catamaran or banana, play football or volleyball, have fun in bars working until dawn.
- Playa de Maspalomas: it is suitable for holidaymakers with different goals, since Playa de Maspalomas is divided into 4 parts (the first zone is focused on family and children recreation, the second and fourth - for nudists, and the third - for homosexuals). The beach is famous for its sculpted white sand dunes, sculpted by the winds, as well as beach bars, shops and restaurants.
Beach Holidays in Dubai
October officially opens the holiday season in Dubai: daytime air temperatures are usually around + 35˚C (walking in the midday hours can cause sunburn and blows, so this time should be devoted to visiting museums or shopping centers), and the water of the Persian Gulf (+ 27-28˚C) is conducive to long swims and scuba diving in cozy lagoons (dive centers can be found at hotels).
In Dubai, it is recommended to take a closer look at the Jumeirah Beach Residence. Those who wish there are offered to go surfing and windsurfing, ride camels along the coastline, as well as on a boat, banana boat, sailing catamaran, kayak, canoe. The only thing is that on Jumeirah Beach Residents it will not be possible to “drive” a jet ski (riding it is prohibited due to safety reasons). If necessary, you can rent an umbrella and sun lounger.
Holidays on the beaches of the Seychelles
In the middle of autumn, when the "end" of the winter, relatively cool season in the Seychelles, tourists are lucky enough to explore natural attractions and swim in the calm ocean (water temperature + 28˚C). The air during the day usually warms up to + 30˚C, and at night the thermometer drops to + 25˚C. If you're lucky, you'll be able to attend the Creole Festival celebrations in October. As for the Seychelles beaches, the following should not be deprived of your attention:
- Anse Source d'Argent Beach: this area is great for children's recreation (there are no high waves, since the beach is protected by a reef and the water near the coast is shallow) and photo sessions (palm trees, granite boulders, white sand, turquoise water - all this deserves to decorate your vacation photo album).
- Beau Vallon Beach: The beach has food outlets, diving equipment rentals, umbrellas, mattresses and sun loungers, and beachfront hotels have casinos and water sports centers.
