7 best beaches in Georgia
Sarpi
According to tourists, the TOP of the best beaches in Georgia is headed by a pebble beach in the village of Sarpi, in Adjara. It stretches to the border with Turkey and is famous for its perfectly transparent sea and convenient entry into the water. With the exception of a restaurant, cafe and several hotels, Sarpi does not have much infrastructure. The water is warmer than the Batumi water, and the people are much less.

Magnetiti
The famous beach in the resort Ureki is covered with black magnetic sand. It stretches for 5 km and is considered one of the best sandy beaches in Georgia for families with children. The entrance to the sea is shallow, the depth increases gradually. There are no changing rooms or toilets. Several dozen hotels and guest houses have been built in the village. Autotourists prefer to stay in the pine forest.

Lenchik777: "You can find a secluded place for a tent. Clean sea, sand, proximity to shops and cafes, there is a wooded area."
Batumi
Pebble beaches of the main Black Sea resort of Georgia are 7 km long and 50-70 m wide. The central beach is located in the area of Old Boulevard. Those who value beach holidays and good infrastructure love to come here. Toilets and changing cabins cost 50 tetri, a sunbed for a day - 2-7 GEL, an umbrella - 3 GEL, and a shower - 1 GEL. Renting a yacht will cost 70 GEL per hour, and hang gliding - 100 GEL.
Less popular is the beach in the New Boulevard area. It also has everything you need for a comfortable stay by the sea, but fewer people. There is also a wild beach near the Batumi airport.
According to tourists, the beaches of Batumi are one of the best in Georgia because they are close to entertainment and attractions. A spectacular promenade with palm trees runs along the seashore. Disadvantages of Batumi - not too clean sea and rapidly increasing depth. We recommend swimming with little ones on the Children's Beach, in the city center. Because of the breakwater, there are no big waves there.
DENiKsyushka: "We really liked it, although the stones are not entirely comfortable for rest."
Green cape
9 km north of Batumi there is a pebble beach, which is loved by divers and surfers. On Cape Verde, there are almost always big waves, there are few people, and the depth starts quite quickly. There is a wooden deck to make it easier to reach the sea over the pebbles. We advise you to combine relaxation on this beach with a walk along the paths of the Batumi Botanical Garden.
Lenchik777: "The cleanest water in the vicinity of Batumi".
Cape Verde Beach
Kvariati
The pebble beach in the nearest suburb of Batumi is about 1 km long and is aimed at Russian tourists. The Georgian resort is loved for its silence, developed infrastructure and affordable prices in restaurants. The coast and the sea are clean, there are no merchants on the beach. There is a diving center in Kvariati, where you can get training and dive to the sunken ships. Find out about your holiday in Kvariati.
-TAN-: "It is worth going here for peace and air. There are many times less people than in Batumi, especially at the rock."
Gonio
The resort is located 11 km from Batumi. The coast is 2 km long, covered with large rounded pebbles, and a beautiful seaside boulevard runs along it. There are sun loungers, changing cabins, restaurants, cafes and food stalls. Gonio is one of the best beaches in Georgia for families with children. The entrance to the sea is shallow, the depth increases gradually, and the shallow water warms up perfectly in the sun. Learn about your holiday in Gonio.
ArtistBatist: "Gonio has a great beach, there are few people, the sea is clear, but you can't find yourself on the rocks, you definitely need to take special shoes."
Beach at Gonio
Kobuleti
The pebbly beaches of the city stretch for 9 km. The coast is protected by mountains, so it is always warm in Kobuleti. On the beaches you can rent sun loungers and parasols, rent a jet ski, ride a catamaran and "banana".
342rimmag: "No crush, clean! It is better to take coral (shoes) with you, so that it is comfortable to walk on the pebbles."
3 worst beaches in Georgia
Maltakwa
3 km south of the city of Poti, there is a long wide beach covered with fine gray sand. Because of the port in Poti itself, it is bad to swim, so locals and tourists come to Maltakwa Beach. The entrance to the water is shallow, but the wind often raises large waves, and a lot of debris is thrown onto the shore.
Alexmakaronin: "There is no infrastructure. Even toilets and changing cabins are not visible."

Grigoleti
This small beach in western Georgia is liked only by lovers of wild recreation and connoisseurs of black magnetic sand. Pines grow along the coast. However, there are no sun loungers and parasols on Grigoleti, and there are few shops and catering establishments in the village. Learn about your holiday in Grigoleti.
Iris2002: "All garbage is brought from the sea: mostly plastic bottles, bags, paper ... it's disgusting to swim in such a thing."
Chakvi
17 km from Batumi, in the village of Chakvi, there is a 6 km long beach. The wide beach is covered with a mixture of fine pebbles and sand. Those who prefer good beach infrastructure and evening entertainment speak unflatteringly about Chakvi. The sea is cleaner than in Batumi, but apart from small restaurants where Georgian cuisine is prepared, there is almost nothing here. Chakvi has big waves, and therefore surfers love to ride here. Learn about your holiday in Chakvi.
Mila Demenkova: "There is no comfortable embankment along which you can ride a bike or walk."
