Why and when the sea blossoms in Anapa, and whether it can prevent rest?

Traditionally it is considered that rest by the sea is an ideal option for recreation. We can not but agree with this, and we can not ignore the resort places, which are so familiar to almost all the inhabitants of the post-Soviet space, like the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and, of course, Anapa - its real gem.

Situated on the border of the Caucasian ridge and Taman peninsula, Anapa is traditionally considered the largest children's and family resort in Russia. In this wonderful land, the dry wind of the Taman steppes and moist warm sea air are combined. The local landscape is very diverse: it is a plain with salty lakes, floodplains and estuaries, and low flat mountains covered with dense forests. And, of course, the sea! Pebbly, as well as wide, velvety sandy beaches stretching for more than 40 km, with well-heated water, a gentle southern sun (usually about 280 sunny days a year). That is why in Anapa the swimming season starts in May and continues right up to October!

The sea in the area of this resort city is perhaps one of the cleanest on the entire Black Sea coast. Nevertheless, all those arriving in this wonderful city are interested in one question: "When does the sea bloom in Anapa?".

It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally, because every year it happens in many ways. Usually flowering begins in mid-June and lasts until mid-August. Although it happens, this happens in August-September. When the sea blossoms in Anapa, outwardly the water resembles a kissel from algae.

Why does the sea blossom in Anapa? The reason is the water temperature. Flowering occurs when the water warms up to 24-26 degrees, and begins where the depth is less, and a weak current can not cope with natural self-cleaning.

The water temperature in Anapa directly depends on seasonality and cyclones (northern or southern). If the weather is determined by the northern winds - the water in the sea is clean, calm and cold. If the wind from the south - the water becomes warm, but cloudy.

By the way, when the sea blossoms in Anapa, it is not harmful to swim, but rather vice versa. Algae have medicinal properties, and therefore even there are those who enthusiastically spread them on themselves. Since not everyone likes this "therapy", in the vicinity of Anapa there are not only shallow sandy beaches but also pebbly beaches beginning in the High Coast area and going towards Utrish and Novorossiysk. The depth here is quite large, and the sea is very clean. Some tourists specifically choose to rest these places, and not necessarily at a time when the sea is blooming. For lovers to luxuriate in the sun, and also to build sandcastles, one should pay attention to the sandy beaches of Djemet or Vityazevo. By the way, these places are a real paradise for surfers.

Traditionally considered as a children's city-resort Anapa is developing vigorously. New hotels and hotels are being built, the level of service is increasing. Practically at every step there are cafes, restaurants, canteens, pizzerias offering a wide choice of Caucasian and Kuban national dishes, as well as famous Anapa wines. In addition, there are entertainments for tourists with children, the largest of which is an outdoor water park and an amusement park.

In addition to sun and air baths, even in the period when the sea is blooming, in Anapa you can improve your health by resorting to mineral water and mud treatment in numerous sanatoria, and to enjoy the beauty of the local nature, which is very diverse.
