Albatros Beach
🏖️ Albatros Beach is a municipal beach in central Sochi, located near the Belarus Sanatorium on Politekhnicheskaya Street.
The unique appeal of the place lies in the combination of a central location and a calm, relatively uncrowded atmosphere: it is cleaner and quieter than the popular beaches near Riviera Park, yet all necessary infrastructure is at hand. The surface of fine pebbles with a sandy mix and the gentle entry into the water make the beach comfortable for families with children and those who value secluded relaxation.
