In principle, it 's fine , but I want a central beach where you can sit in a cafe) I know it is there, but there is such darkness) so much empty space investors pay attention before it's too late)
The beach is pebbly, of course it is better to have swimming slippers, this year there are a lot of tourists, it is very dirty, in other areas it is cleaner
I didn't go to the beach in Europe, because the sewer pipe is nearby, but the nearest one is so-so, narrow, they smoke and other charms:lamb, corn, but what to do-no one canceled the local flavor)))
You should not be afraid to accidentally take a sip of sea water. There really is a huge mass of bacteria and microorganisms in seawater. But up to a temperature of + 24 ° C, microbes do not multiply too actively, so their concentration is low and not particularly dangerous to health. However, if you swallow a little warmer water, there is every chance to spend the rest of your vacation fighting diarrhea. And then we write reviews, the food in the hotel is of poor quality. ....
In other words, a few sips of warm sea water are not deadly, although they can ruin a vacation.
The beaches of the hotels are mostly three-star. There are good ones, Aquamarine, napimer, and the Thirst bar there is also not bad. And in the center of novaya Gagra, the hotel rooms seem to be equipped, but in the evenings the drains are drained right through them, and the streams do not add purity to the water. It's probably not everywhere, but if you're vacationing in Gagra, be prepared for rotovirus.
The beaches of Gagra are not well maintained enough, only those areas that are allocated for a specific hotel are cleaned. There are a lot of stray dogs, sometimes whole organized packs. Although I can note that people are not attacked, although sometimes you can become a casual witness, their showdowns, for prey, there are no rescuers at all, although you can count on catamaran workers who will not leave in trouble if they do not ride people on bananas and jet skis. The roads to the beach are strewn with garbage, which has not been cleaned for a long time. Moreover, these questions are more for tourists, who also litter. There are garbage cans, but not at every step. You need to find them somehow.
The biggest disadvantage and disappointment is the garbage all around.

Gagra, the purest sea!
Very beautiful, fascinating mountains!
I liked the beach better in Staraya Gagra - small pebbles.
In Novaya Gagra, the stones are large, it is not comfortable to enter the sea and the water is colder because the mountain river flows not far away.
There are a lot of sun loungers and umbrellas for 100-150 rubles all over the beach.
It's a nice beach, but you have to stay away from the rivers. As everywhere - pebbles, but coral slippers save. The excellent delmar bar at the Aquamarine Hotel.
