Bloggers reported an influx of vacationers at the end of the season in Anapa.

The beaches of Anapa are filled with vacationers, there are more people on the beaches than in summer, bloggers noted.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the beaches of Anapa, after being replenished with new sand, have turned into a mixture of stones and clay, and officials' reports do not correspond to reality, Telegram users pointed out. According to commentators, significant costs were incurred to replenish the beaches of Anapa after the oil spill, but the first storms washed away the sand, and the remaining sand on the shore has compacted. The work on pumping out oil from the fragments of the tankers "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239", which sank as a result of the crash in the Kerch Strait in December 2024, has been completed. Permits from Rospotrebnadzor have already been received for 111 beaches in Anapa.

Bloggers who visited the beaches of Anapa today reported a large influx of tourists.

"There is a slow but steady transition to the velvet season," wrote blogger Yuri Ozarovsky today.

He published videos of the beaches filled with vacationers in various locations.

The resort season in Anapa opened against a sharp contrast in the state of the coastline. Some beaches are open and recognized as safe, while other areas are closed due to erosion, unstable soil, and environmental risks. Information about which beaches are ready for visitors and which pose dangers is provided in the report "Caucasian Knot" "Beaches of Anapa: open and dangerous zones".
