Laskovy Beach
Laskovy Beach near the town of Solnechnoye is one of the best, most well-kept, and most comfortable beaches on the Gulf of Finland's shore. Among all the beaches in the Resort field, Laskovy is the largest. The sand strip is approximately 1 kilometer long and 200 meters wide. The beach stretches through a beautiful pine tree woodland, with a concrete embarkation nearby - a fantastic spot for wandering by the bay.
The coast is covered in fine light golden sand, and the seabed is equally sandy, with little shells strewn about. However, little stones can be found along the shore. The shallowest are towards the beach's southern edge, where the depth rises faster than elsewhere along the coast. Sharp coniferous needles and even cones are frequently found in the sand near the embankment.
There are certain notable qualities, among others:
- The water is so clean and transparent here that the sandy bottom can be seen even at a great distance from the coast, where it is already rather deep.
- The entrance to the sea is sloping, and it is not higher than the knee even a few meters from the coast. As a result, it is one of the best spots for a family holiday.
- The waters are quiet here, but there are considerable waves on windy days, which draw surfers and kites.
However, swimming on Laskovy Beach is not suggested (due to wastewater entering the bay), but it is not prohibited. As a result, during the summer, you'll witness a lot of holidaymakers, both on the beach and in the water. The most important thing is to stay inside the boundaries of the safe swimming area, which are marked by buoys.
The coast's biggest negative is overcrowding (especially in July and early August). In season, there are noisy crowds of vacationers, which you will not be able to avoid even if you come here on weekdays, because the hamlet attracts numerous people throughout the summer.
