You pay for entry, for which you get regular cleaning of the territory, lifeguards, a toilet, a changing room and, possibly, a small cafe with soft drinks and ice cream.

Important: swimming on the beach is temporarily suspended

In the warm season, Levoberezhny attracts not only the inhabitants of the district of the same name, but also, perhaps, all Muscovites from the northern part of the city. No wonder: this place has always been popular due to the fine sand, grassy lawns, a field for sports games and a large children's town. After the improvement, the beach acquired additional infrastructure: wooden benches under a canopy, ping-pong tables, bike parking, new playgrounds with all kinds of climbing frames, bridges and swings. Sun loungers have appeared near the shore, where you can comfortably sit and, while sunbathing, look at the water and the swimmers.

And by the way, about swimming. The beach is located on the shore of a small bay, extending from the Canal to them. Moscow.

Serebryany Bor - in itself very beautiful place(remember that it has the status of a specially protected natural area, read also:). That is why its beaches are so valuable: they are especially monitored for their cleanliness and well-being. The shore here is mostly covered with grass, but there is a sandy strip near the water itself. The swimming area is fenced, and here it is of paramount importance, because there is a pier for boats, yachts and boats very close by.

As for landscaping, there are locker rooms, showers, toilets, sunbeds for rent at the service of visitors. There are regular entertainment programs for children. Next door is the Manor-Park complex with a restaurant and its own coastal area with more comfortable sun loungers and gazebos. There is also a car park nearby, but in order to get to it, you need to have a restaurant or yacht club visitor's pass. But even in this case, as the townspeople note, there may not be empty seats. Which is more convenient to get to public transport to the stop "Coast of the Moscow River" - from here the beach is within easy reach.

Beach "Serebryany Bor - 3"

The third beach of Serebryany Bor is much larger than the second. And much more popular: visitors note that on a day off, you can hardly find a free place here. For the same reasons, it is worth thinking about the road in advance - parking a car, despite the presence of a parking lot, is problematic, but there is a bus stop in the immediate vicinity of the beach.

Beach number 3 is cheerful and noisy, surrounded on both sides by recreation areas in which music is always played. From other entertainment: cafes, sports grounds, gazebos, playgrounds for children, a volleyball field and even a tennis court (for a fee). You can sunbathe both on the sand near the shore and on the soft grass. The swimming area is fenced with buoys, and caution really does not hurt here: boats and jet skis cut through the line with might and main (read also: “25 places in Moscow where you can ride boats and catamarans”).

Strogino floodplain

The Stroginsky backwater is sometimes jokingly called the "sea" - it is so huge (more than a kilometer long and almost two kilometers wide). It is located not so far from Serebryany Bor, but it is no less popular. Especially after the landscaping of 2017-2018, when the coastal area, which has always been a public beach, was equipped with wooden decks, benches and sun loungers. The paths, by the way, rise a little above the ground - this made it possible to preserve the natural landscape of the park and, of course, the sandy beach.

The bay was created artificially in the 30s and has gained a reputation as one of the most environmentally friendly in the city. However, it was not always possible to officially swim here. Now, at the service of vacationers - not only playgrounds, cafes and children's towns, but also a neat beach with pleasant water. In summer, they also like to ride jet skis and go in for sailing. Dare to try?

Recreation area "Troparevo"

The beach near the Troparevsky pond is not large, but pleasant and well-maintained. The sandy area rarely can accommodate everyone, and therefore many have to sit on the grass (for convenience, there are sun loungers here, but one must think that they are rarely empty). The reservoir is fed from springs, so the water is most often clear, but cold. Nevertheless, this rarely stops Muscovites: both adults and children bathe (they usually arrange a "paddling pool" for them). And those who are afraid prefer to take a boat or a catamaran - and just float by!

In general, everything is in order with entertainment in this recreation area: the pond is located in the center of the Tyoply Stan landscape reserve, in which there are many children's and sports grounds, quests and even events are held on the summer stage (it can be seen from the north side of the pond).

Recreation area "Meshcherskoe"

The Meshchersky pond in the natural park of the same name is artificial and ancient (it began to be marked on maps as early as the 18th century). picturesque corner attracts connoisseurs of nature, and a beautiful beach attracts everyone tired of the sun. After the improvement, many wooden structures have grown on the sandy shore. There are changing rooms, and benches under an umbrella, and sun loungers, and just wooden flooring. Everything is done in the same style, which, of course, is also pleasing to the eye.

There are playgrounds for children in Meshchersky. The only downside is that it's hard to park. Visitors are strongly advised to use public transport - otherwise do not separate. For example, it takes only 15 minutes to walk from the Skolkovo platform to the pond.

Lake Black

Black Lake really has a dark color - all because of the peat bottom (read also:). But you should not be afraid: the water here is considered very clean, and the reservoir itself is one of the most beautiful in Moscow. It is not surprising that the local beach has always attracted the residents of Zelenograd like a magnet - even when it could not boast of good infrastructure. Now the territory has a much more comfortable look: wooden deck chairs and colorful playgrounds have appeared. You can play beach games, relax on benches in the shade of trees, play sports in the workout area and, of course, swim (for children there is a separate "paddling pool").

Children's towns, workout zones, volleyball courts and a picturesque walking area - all this is famous for School Lake in the Silino settlement. The shore near the water is grassy, but there is golden sand in the beach area. There are also stationary parasols from the sun. The descent into the water is soft and safe, so children can also swim with adults. But for the little ones, a small “paddling pool” is still equipped - for the sake of the parents' peace of mind. There is a car park in the immediate vicinity of the beach, but its capacity leaves much to be desired. As an alternative - a bicycle: in the recreation area, along the coast, comfortable bike paths have just been laid out.

P.S.: By the way, do not forget that you can refresh yourself in the summer heat in the capital not only in natural reservoirs, but also in pools. Full list available in summer 2019 places are given in the material.
