The Black or Azov Sea is more useful. Useful properties of sea water for adults and children
Holidays on the Black and Azov Seas are popular among Russians and Ukrainians. Leisure on cozy beaches is available to almost every working person. There are a large number of resorts and recreation centers on the shores of the Black and Azov Seas.
In most cases, when organizing a vacation on the Black Sea, people choose Anapa, Tuapse, Gelendzhik, Sochi and Crimea. Salt water and clean, well-groomed beaches attract many tourists from all over the world. You can relax on the Sea of Azov in Yeysk, Berdyansk, Taganrog, Novoazovsk, Urzuf and Yalta.
The general availability of a beach holiday puts a person in front of a choice, and in order to make it, you need to decide what is more useful for the Black or Azov Sea. After all, vacation does not happen so often and I would not want to spend it on meaningless weekdays.
Black and Azov Sea. Differences
- The coast of the Black Sea is mostly pebbly and rocky, and it is quite difficult to find a comfortable sandy beach here. On the Sea of Azov, you can relax on the "golden" sands. In the main coast of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, white-golden color due to small pieces of shells. It is most comfortable for children and adults to relax on the beaches of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov.
- The water in the Black Sea is blue and very clear. In Azov, it is greenish, and this is especially noticeable in shallow water or after small storms. The water in the Black Sea is much clearer than in the Sea of Azov.
- The biggest advantage of the Sea of Azov is therapeutic mud, which is not found in the Black Sea. It is for them that tourists from all over the world come to the sea.
- The Sea of Azov is considered the smallest in the world. Its average depth is about 7.5 meters. However, finding such a depth will be problematic - mostly shallow water. This has its advantages - it is comfortable to relax with children and, if necessary, you can learn to swim yourself. The Black Sea is deep enough and various water sports sports.
- The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov warms up much faster than the Black Sea and this is due to its shallow depth. beach season begins much earlier than on the Black Sea. Here you can comfortably relax in early June.
- On the Black Sea, it is enough to find a secluded place - there are a lot of vacationers. They occupy almost the entire coast. Quite noisy and host active sporting events. There is no such turmoil in the Sea of Azov.
- The Sea of Azov has fresh-salt water. Black is salty. Tourists who want to improve their health with the help of salty sea water choose the Black Sea.
- The Black Sea never freezes, and the Sea of Azov is covered with a thick layer of ice in winter.
When choosing the Black or Azov Sea, the priority should be given to safety in the first place. For families with children, it is best to choose the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov. Shallow water, attractions and a calm atmosphere will have a positive effect on the body.
If you like noisy companies, water sports, and you also need a sufficiently large depth - choose the Black Sea. There are quite comfortable, equipped beaches and a very large number of entertainment for young people and adults.

just met a young man who is related
to the Azovstalked at the level of the board. My first question is emissions into the sea. The answer is that we cannot even imagine the scale.
At the same time, I heard on TV that the Black Sea was recognized by international environmentalists as the dirtiest on the planet.
For me it's a question of Black and Seas of Azov closed now :(((((
Losyasha 04/05/2010 at 16:53:51
who is considered?
Illusion 05/05/2010 at 09:55:41
Yes, look in the thread
myata 05/05/2010 at 09:19:04
I also ask - who is considered? :)
What is Black in Ukraine, what is Azov in the same place - are the same.
My kid gloves are too expensive to throw in anyone's face...
Kati_K 05/20/2010 at 18:50:59
Last year for a month of rest
I didn’t see a single one on Azov, even after the storm. I wanted to show the child - I did not find it :)))
Sting 05/05/2010 at 13:51:33
1 went once, having heard enough how good it is with the children there ... not a foot more
It feels like you're swimming in a dirty puddle...
Upi 05/05/2010 at 04:40:49 PM
I don’t even go there! Although my mother-in-law drags my little one there once a year for 10 days!
so_ya 05/05/2010 at 21:17:23
you said about the sea just like my neighbor ...
She has the same opinion!
they try to go there in May, since they have relatives living there, and so, they go to black in the summer!takog 05/20/2010 at 01:41:43 PM
last year on Azov after a small storm large jellyfish were thrown ashore
and they teemed with water for a couple of days - both large and very tiny, the size of 5 kopecks. So, there are and were jellyfish. Until they all died out.
I don’t argue that our people are like that, they leave behind heaps of garbage on the beaches, but in this case we consider the purity of the water itself and the chemical composition of Azov, oh, how much it differs from the Black Sea. What is Mariupol worth with factories and Berdyansk with ports. ..
Of course, we can say that the sea is a self-purifying ecosystem, under the influence of salt, iodine, etc., the sea cleanses itself. But ... But the possibilities of nature itself are far from unlimited. In Azov, the water has already been so defiled that it has turned into a smelly puddle with pathogenic bacteria. Literally the day before yesterday I listened to a report about it on TV about it. In the Mariupol-Berdyansk zone, from Mariupol to Russia, swimming is generally unsafe.
It is believed among the people that the cleanest sea is on Arabatka, supposedly there are fewer people and civilization, but this is far from the case. The system of the sea is arranged in such a way that most of the emissions are carried directly to Arabatka and to all spits in the sea, despite the fact that the spit goes far into the sea.
It's so funny to listen to the stories of people who, having been on the Sea of Azov, say the water is so clean! But in fact, here we mean transparent, not pure !!! We forget about this, of course. If you remember, even in a puddle the water can be transparent, but we don’t swim in it, because the composition of the water in it is dirty.
The Black Sea, compared to the Sea of Azov, is one step higher in terms of purity of water and air on the coast.Ocean 09/05/2010 at 00:29:06
and why are the beaches on the Black Sea pebbly?
sandy beaches in Odessa.
In Crimea - where, like, in Bulgaria and Turkey - there are also many sandy beaches
"often waves" - finally it's funny: it depends on the wind!Jassmin12 05/21/2010 at 01:29:08

It hardly counts, but
At least because the South Coast was an "all-Union health resort", and not the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov. :)
But, on the other hand, identifying the entire Sea of Azov with Mariupol is also not correct. The coast is long. And as for a puddle, or something like that, to speak is to mislead those who do not know. The fact that Azov is not transparent does not mean that it is dirty. I do not know the natural mechanisms, but they exist and this is a fact. By the way, in the south, in the Temryuk region, the Sea of Azov is quite transparent.
The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov has obvious advantages in comparison with the Black Sea:
1. Sandy beaches. (Pebble, in my opinion, is loved only by those who have simply not known others for many years)
2. Shallow water.
3. More high temperature water ALWAYS.
4. Fewer storms ALWAYS.
In my opinion, all this takes on special significance when it comes to children.
It is not for nothing that they say the South Coast, i.e. about the BEACH. The Black Sea is not what plays the primary role there. :)
As for the vague "terrifying" statements of people "in positions" from the Azov region, given here, then all this is the level of rumors.LenkaXYZ 05/20/2010 at 15:59:44
And further
The number of jellyfish is a moot point. :) But, due to the fact that the water near the coast in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov is warmer than in the Black Sea, they are not near the coast. And during a storm, the shore doesn’t even throw it out. :)
Melitopol is not located on the Sea of Azov. :)
Illusion 04/05/2010 at 12:33:35
Why is the Sea of Azov considered better than the Black Sea?
Here I read, many advise the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov for children, and not the Black Sea, they say, it is warmer and cleaner, there are no jellyfish. But it is also an inland sea, closed, unlike, for example, west coast Crimea. In the north is the "wonderful" city of Mariupol - "Mariupol occupies one of the first places in Ukraine in terms of emissions of harmful substances by industrial enterprises. The largest environmental pollutants in the city are the Azovstal metallurgical plants and its coke production and Ilyich Iron and Steel Works, especially sinter plant and blast furnace shop" (quote from Wikipedia)
And it is not as salty as Black, because it freezes in winter...
Naliya 04/05/2010 at 19:17:43
In my opinion, on the contrary, it is considered much worse than black
takog 05/17/2010 at 09:45:08
and jellyfish, by the way, on Azov, no less than on Black!
bad_ 05/05/2010 at 12:51:54
a friend lived with her husband in melitopol for 5 years, she said that in life she would not take a child to the basics.
says it's trash, not the sea :(
Marka 05/05/2010 at 16:54:27
And we like Arabat arrow, I was taken there from birth and I go
but we travel more with humidified air to breathe and eat fruits and vegetables.
yes, and we have a place to live there, so it’s very free good vacation:) but there really are terrible beaches in towns like Genichesk, but I really like Arabatka if they swim on the territory of the boarding house.
I asked you: - Why are you going to the mountains? -
And you went to the top, and you rushed into battle.
05/05/2010 at 05:02:56 pm
first time i hear that..
Azov is good in June, when the Black Sea has not yet warmed up.
But maximum until the middle of the month.
Then it's horror.
Warm dirty sea....
Only the Black Sea!!! If you want children's beaches - choose Evpatoria, for example.
Vrednyuka 05/17/2010 at 13:22:39
I don’t remember jellyfish at all, but my husband says that he caught very small ones! about cleanliness, so all our water bodies are, to put it mildly, not quite clean! We rest on Arabatka in June (when there are fewer people and garbage, respectively) and on Cherny in August (and there also dirty, and the garbage is not taken out and the drains are all in the sea)!
Ganett 05/07/2010 at 03:24:58 PM
my opinion is that the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov is better because it is warmer, iodine composition,
soft sand... than better hotel, the more comfortable the rest ... we try to choose better - as far as we have enough funds .... we rested in Sedovo, on the Belosarayskaya Spit,
but I especially like the Berdyansk Spit .... we have been there for several years, this year we are going again ... the Oreanda hotel is especially good (the presence of a coniferous garden with fountains and gazebos and a chic playground, an excellent private beach with soft sand, etc.) - about the price of Turkey 5 stars (not the most expensive, but not cheap either)
I don’t like the Black Sea (as well as Turkey) - the sea is cold, often waves, the bottom and beaches are pebbly ....
and in terms of cleanliness, or rather, dirtyness, it seems to me that they are approximately equally dirty, but when we rest it is not felt - the sea is transparent, it does not sting the eyes ...
Pumka 05/16/2010 at 21:49:34
warmer, yes, cleaner depending on where. Arabatka is clean. And than
it is necessary to compare not the seas, but the places of rest on these seas.
The character of a person can be judged by how he behaves with those who cannot be of any help to him, as well as with those who cannot give him back.
M. Zhvanetsky
When the resort has one sea, it is immediately clear where to swim and relax. But what if there are two seas? On the Crimean peninsula, vacationers will have a difficult choice: go to the Black Sea coast or stay on the Sea of Azov. Each sea has its own unique features, so let's take a closer look at each of them.
Sea of Azov.
It is considered the smallest sea in the world "marine" list. The average depth of the Sea of Azov is about 7.5 meters, and the deepest deep point reaches 14 m. Due to the shallow depth, the northern part of the Sea of Azov is almost completely covered with ice in winter and remains under ice until about mid-April.
It attracts tourists primarily with its temperature regime. The shallow depth allows the sea waters to warm up quickly, and by the end of May it will delight vacationers with a temperature of + 20 ° C. The “hottest” water awaits bathers at the end of July - at this time the temperature rises to +28.0 ... +28.5 ° С.
In addition to warm water, the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov will please with a number of pleasant features:
- Bottom relief. Almost all shores of the Sea of Azov have a smooth decrease, without sharp drops. In addition, in some places it will take quite a long time to get to really great depths. Of course, this will not please divers, but for parents with small children it will be just right.
- Sand and more sand. Or rather, a pleasant mixture of sand and small shell rock, on which it is very comfortable to wallow under the sun. And also - long sandy spits, stretching for several kilometers.
- Fishing. The Sea of Azov is famous for its fish diversity, which is of interest to all fishing fans. Due to the low salt content, here you can meet not only marine fish, but also representatives fresh water falling into the sea from river channels.
- infrastructure and housing costs. Unlike the Black Sea coast, the cost of housing in the resorts of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov will not make a serious hole in your budget. Add to this a fairly developed infrastructure and a lot of options for living, and you get a great option for a family vacation.
Notable cons on Azov coast there are quite a few:
- Water purity. Shallow depth and sandy bottom do not contribute to crystal clear and transparent water. Coastal waters in the Sea of Azov almost always have a cloudy color due to the sand raised by the surf from the bottom.
- The uniformity of the landscape. For those who dream of beach holiday, the absence of mountains, caves and other "joys" will not hurt, but endless steppe landscapes can upset adventurers.
Black Sea.
The Black Sea coast has a continental climate, which is in many ways similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. In summer, most of the coast is characterized by hot and sunny days with a minimum of precipitation.
The Black Sea coast is considered the legendary "health resort" of Russia. This popularity is due to a number of factors:
- Climate. Many rare and relic plants grow on the coast, including juniper groves, the air of which has a healing effect on all body systems.
- Availability mountain ranges. Relic groves and mountain ranges not only protect from cold winds, but also give the desired shade on especially hot days.
- Crystal clear water. This is especially true of "wild" beaches, where you can see the seabed at a depth of several meters.
- Variety of landscapes. On black sea coast everyone will find something to their liking: from rock climbing and speleology to beach holidays and boat trips.
- Developed infrastructure And transport system: a lot of housing options, a lot of water parks, museums and transport accessibility.
The "bright" minuses of the Black Sea coast include:
- The almost complete absence of sandy beaches. Most of the beaches on the coast are pebbly, and entry into the water is often “decorated” with numerous boulders.
- Water temperature. The water in the Black Sea rarely warms up above + 22-26 ° C, and the swimming season here officially begins only in mid-June.
- Prices. "Beach". At the height of the season, holidays in the resorts of the South Coast will not only cost a pretty penny, but will also cause difficulties with accommodation without prior booking.
So…
If you are a fan active rest, ready to swim in cool water, and pebble beaches are not a hindrance to you - the Black Sea coast is waiting for you.
For those who are going to relax with the whole family, it is better to choose the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov - here the water is warmer, more sandy, and prices are lower.
Sea holidays are not just a way to change the situation and get a beautiful tan. The sea is a natural “medicine”, an opportunity to combine business with pleasure: strengthen immunity, lose weight and even cope with a number of chronic diseases. Staying on any sea coast will have a beneficial effect on the nervous system and help with skin diseases. for a healthy holiday? ? In this article I want to analyze the pros and cons of some sea resorts, emphasizing their specialization and providing advice and recommendations from experts.
- Black Sea
Main advantages: The Black Sea water is closest in composition to the microelement composition of human blood, so even people with diseases of the heart and blood vessels feel comfortable here. At a depth, the Black Sea is rich in hydrogen sulfide compounds, and they make water and air useful for the heart and blood vessels. Evpatoria is a great place for patients with rheumatism.
Negative sides. It can be too hot on the Black Sea coast in summer for people with hypertension and heart failure.
Specialization . Cardiovascular diseases, disorders of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the feather system and respiratory organs.
Advice . For treatment, it is better to prefer the "foreign" Black Sea. If you choose Sochi, pay attention to the thermal hydrogen sulfide springs of Matsesta, which are especially useful for diseases of the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, and metabolic disorders.
- Sea of Azov
Main pluses. The shallow and warm Sea of Azov is unique in its microelement composition: 92 minerals from the Periodic Table are dissolved in it.
Negative sides. In the Sea of Azov, the medical component of recreation is not developed.
Specialization . General strengthening of immunity, prevention of beriberi, osteoporosis and premature aging.
Advice . Sea of Azov - perfect place for the first trip to the sea with a small child.
- Baltic Sea
Main payuses. Moderate climate and salubrious pine air.
Negative sides. The Baltic Sea is quite cold and dirty. in some places The best way his "uses" are air baths, unique in their mixture of coniferous and sea air.
Specialization . Respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disorders, recovery from oncological diseases, chemotherapy, surgery, treatment of nervous disorders.
Advice . On vacation, it is worth taking advantage not only of the healing properties of the sea, but also of other natural resources, such as the famous Kemer mud in Latvia (practically the coast).
- The Dead Sea
Main pluses. The unique mineral composition of water, as well as healing mud Dead Sea(resorts of Jordan and Israel specialize in them); soft air due to constant bromine evaporation, which helps to endure even extreme heat without loss, intense bromide secretions, healing both for the nervous system and for the respiratory tract. In addition, the vapor layer in the air significantly reduces the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, so you can stay in the sun for a longer time at the Dead Sea without fear of burns.
Negative sides. If you prefer active sea vacation, The Dead Sea categorically does not suit you.
Specialization . The broadest: all diseases of the respiratory tract, including asthma, gynecology, endocrinology, treatment of skin diseases, including neuroendocrine, treatment of obesity, arthritis, arthrosis, osteoporosis, rehabilitation medicine, rejuvenation, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, sleep disorders, nervous disorders .
Advice . Best time to visit the Dead Sea - the velvet season or spring (February-April). And, of course, after "communication" with the salts of the Dead Sea, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin and apply a moisturizer.
Red sea
Main pluses. The water of the Red Sea is almost as saturated with minerals as the neighboring Dead Sea, but it is alive, that is, it contains many microorganisms, including algae. Literally after the first bath, puffiness disappears and lymph flow accelerates, and the skin receives a shock dose of useful minerals. In addition, the saturation of the air with bromine fumes here is only slightly inferior to the resorts of the Dead Sea.
Negative sides. The high salinity of the water, coupled with the summer heat, can be a contraindication for people with cardiovascular diseases. The high humidity of the air keeps the heat even after sunset.
Specialization . Respiratory diseases, infertility treatment, obesity.
Advice . For treatment, go to those resorts where coral reefs have been preserved - a unique source of minerals and trace elements. Popular places like Hurghada or Eilat will give you almost nothing in terms of recovery.
Mediterranean Sea
Main pluses. Developed resort and medical infrastructure.
Negative sides. Extreme heat in the traditional holiday season plus great amount tourists, which means a reduced quality of ecology.
Specialization . Most Mediterranean resorts specialize in respiratory diseases, including asthma and vegetative-vascular disorders.
Advice . Try to choose areas for treatment where you will have access to the joys and benefits of both marine and thermal water: for example, italian island Ischia or Djerba peninsula in Tunisia.
Atlantic
Main pluses. Moderate climate, high level of spa and medical care.
Negative sides. The Atlantic is also not always clean. However, the Normandy, Brittany coast in France and the area of Bath and Scarborough in the UK are perfectly preserved.
Specialization . Restoration of the nervous system, postoperative recovery, rehabilitation medicine.
Advice . To improve health, it is better to choose not southern Atlantic resorts- the Portuguese coast, Madeira, the Canaries, where there is a strong sun and at the same time a cold ocean, and the northwestern area, for example, resorts on both sides of the English Channel with a particularly mild climate.
And its numerous resorts are unique in that there are two whole seas. Today we will look at the coast of which of them is better to settle down for recreation.
Similarity of 2 seas
First, let's talk about similarities. The first and only point is that both reservoirs are located in the water area Atlantic Ocean. This is where the similarities end.
Black Sea, Gelendzhik
Kiseleva rock, Tuapse district

Beaches of the Sea of Azov
Kos Tuzla. Sea of Azov.
And yet they are different
Depth
Let's start, perhaps, from the depth: in some places of the Black Sea, the bottom lies under the water column more than two kilometers from the surface, while near the Azov maximum depth no more than 14 meters, but it warms up faster. However, not everyone is destined to reach this depth, since the path along the bottom will stretch for many, many hundreds of meters, and the water will still be waist-deep.
Rocks and pebbles or mud and sand
By the way, about the bottom! On the Black Sea, it consists of stones and pebbles, while on the Azov Sea it consists of sand and mud. But this mud is healing, many people come here just to wallow in it, smeared from head to toe. In the Black Sea, the water is healing - it is rich in iodine. The water of the Sea of Azov, on the contrary, is slightly salty due to the fact that the channels of the Don and Kuban rivers additionally desalinate the already small water area.
Where to go?
There are also a lot of settlements where you can stay on both rivieras. And here the Black Sea boasts various resorts, ranging from the official summer capital of Russia - Sochi (with all the minuses of the capital), to wild reserved corners, like Utrish. Golden, if I may say so, the middle Black Sea coast Dzhubga will probably become - the place is quite dirty and not the best place to stop, the situation changes for the better if you go towards Sochi or Gelendzhik. Of course, in terms of calmness and purity of the coast, such settlements are very far from Utrish and other quite wild places.
essence settlements Sea of Azov is concentrated, as it seems to us, in Yeysk. In this town there are no excesses of resort towns, on the streets you can safely pick fruits from the branches while you walk to the beach, and locals not spoiled by tourists and usually friendly. Yes, and some of the houses of the city saw another king, retaining their original appearance - everywhere there are forged porches, turrets, gardens, shutters. The same can be said, but to a lesser extent, about the coastal villages of the Azov region: villages like Dolzhanskaya, which are small and friendly. There is a minimum (or none at all) tourism infrastructure, banana catamarans and a photo with a monkey. Such famous taxis as “Slavik”, “Aleksey”, “Uncle Borya” or “Semyonych” run through the villages, ready to take you to any end of the village for homemade wine at any time of the day or night and back for some 30-50 rubles. True, you will also have to live either as a savage, or in the summer kitchen of some private house, because somehow all-inclusive hotels were not built here. However, in recent years, people with Moscow license plates on vehicles have been buying up land on the coast of the Sea of Azov, and it is not yet known what this will turn out to be in a few years.
Camping
Several campsites on the Black Sea, which are worth paying attention to:
Some results
Of course, the Black Sea is much more popular than the Sea of Azov - on the one hand, this brings the development of tourist infrastructure and offers for various types of leisure in addition to swimming. On the other hand, the beaches are often overloaded, especially in small, well-developed villages. It is worth remembering that often in order to spend a vacation on the shore a little calmer, you just need to step aside from the central beach.
Beaches of the Sea of Azov This article is subjective and does not reflect an evaluative point of view. Both coasts are interesting, and everyone will find for himself where he will be pleased. Five-star hotels in Greater Sochi certainly cannot compare with a hammock in a stanitsa garden, just as “all-inclusive” cannot compete with a fire on which food from the local market is fried.
It's up to you, have a nice holiday!
