Reviews about the beaches and the sea in Khost
The beach strip in Khost is narrow. Concrete breakwaters protect the coast from high waves and storms. All beaches are pebbly with a small admixture of gray sand. The entrance to the water is shallow, so Khosta is good for families with children.
Compared to other resorts in the Krasnodar Territory, the beaches of Khosta are not crowded. The central beach stretches for 100 m and has a width of 15 m. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay: showers, changing rooms, paid loungers and toilets. There is also a small pier where local fishermen gather.
According to reviews, the main disadvantage of the beaches of Khosta is that in August the sea blooms near the coast. Not everyone likes to swim in green water. There are jellyfish near the coast, but they do not bother tourists too much.
Maryana Krasa: "I advise you to buy special shoes for entering the water, as on all the beaches of Khosta there are small pebbles, it hurts to walk."
