Rest with the child on the sea in Russia

Sea air, water, warm sand and the rustle of the waves are useful for both adults and children. To plan your vacation at sea, we usually begin in advance. And if in organizing an adult voyage we are guided only by the possibilities of our family budget and personal preferences, then a trip to the sea with a child is a completely different approach.

Children due to the lack of formation of their immunity is quite difficult to perceive travel. The younger the child, the more difficult it is to travel, fly, change climate. Little the body reacts immediately to what is happening, the acclimatization period begins. The baby's temperature rises, vomiting and diarrhea can appear, his mood and behavior change. The smaller the age and the brighter the contrast between the climate of the home region that is familiar to the little one and the place where the parents brought it to rest, the harder and longer it will be acclimatization.

Doctors do not recommend children under 3 years old and children of preschool age to travel to distant and exotic countries. The child is better if the climate at the resort is not too different from the usual for him. This also applies to older children who have not traveled to the sea before. Their immunity also “does not know” yet how to behave in the conditions of a new country, with a different time zone and specific, peculiar only to this country, bacteria, viruses and other “delights”. By the way, of all the above, the hardest kids react to changing time zones.

It is not necessary to fly an airplane for a trip inside the country, as many moms and dads are afraid to transport their small child air travel. You can choose a train or car, it all depends on the distance that separates your home and the coveted coast. The road will take much longer than the flight, but the acclimatization of the child as a result will be softer and smoother.

In case the child is still very sick on vacation, and will have to seek qualified medical assistance, every Russian has a medical insurance policy. You do not need to pay extra for insurance, trying to provide for all possible unpleasant incidents on vacation. Any medical institution of the country will provide you and the child with the necessary assistance. Abroad, even not far away - in Turkey, for example, such treatment should be paid by you separately, because tourist medical insurance does not provide for many diseases.

However, the Russian coast has its minuses. This is an underdeveloped infrastructure of the beaches, the almost complete absence of “children's” beach areas. In Russia, it is not easy to find a beach with soft sand, almost the entire Black Sea coast is covered with pebbles and stones. But to cope with this you and your child will help special shoes for swimming, it is inexpensive.

So, the decision to go to the sea with the baby made, it remains to find out exactly where to go.

The most popular sea in Russia - Black Sea. The coast is replete with expensive hotels, and budgetary sanatoriums, and very economical hostels. In addition, it is possible to rent an apartment or a room for the period of rest for little money.

The most expensive city is naturally Sochi. His prestige was raised by the 2014 Olympic Games, however, and before them Sochi could never be attributed to a low-budget holiday. It’s good to go here with older children, because, apart from the beaches, there is a lot to see in the city and its surroundings. For very young children, Olympic venues, singing fountains and the longest pedestrian suspension bridge on Earth will be uninteresting.

If you try, in Sochi, you can plan a fairly intense vacation. In addition to water treatments and sunbathing, you can go to the Sochi Arboretum, Riviera Park, a large aquarium and several water parks. The Sochi Dolphinarium is famous far beyond the borders of the country, and the amusement park at the height of SkyPark will be remembered for a long time by your preschool children and schoolchildren.

There are a lot of resort settlements around Sochi, and if living in the city itself is burdensome for your budget, you can stay in Dagomys, which is only 15 kilometers away.

With babies and children up to 3 years old, it is better to go to Anapa or places located next to it. This is practically the only Black Sea resort, on the beaches of which are not stones and prickly pebbles, but sand. The descent into the water is smooth and long, and therefore the water is warmed up better than at other resorts.

If you are going to rest not with one, but with two or more children of different ages, it is better to also choose Anapa. While mom and one year old child are sunbathing on the beach, dad and older children will be able to find interesting activities for the children. In Anapa there are three water parks, an amusement park “Sunny Island”, an adventure park “Braveheart”. You can go by boat to the lotus valley.

If the soul lies to Gelendzhik, it should be remembered that not all the many beaches of this city are safe for children. With kids, you should not stop and swim in the area of ​​Tolstoy Cape - there is a sharp descent into the water, great depth and rather cool water.

For older children there is something for everyone - you can go on a boat trip on a boat or ride a cable car, visit the water park (there are three of them) or a dolphinarium.

Kabardinka can not boast an abundance of entertainment, parks and attractions, but the sea here is the best for children's recreation. In the village there are many sanatoriums, where the whole family, including its small members, will receive both medical care and a lot of health procedures that cannot be carried out on the beach. Kabardian will give a sense of peace and quiet, which are so important for a young mother with a baby.

If there is a desire to visit the Crimea, the problem of choosing a particular vacation spot will be in full growth in all its glory. The fact is that in the Crimea with children you can relax almost everywhere, nature, beaches, sea allow it. The difference is only in prices and service. You can easily rent an apartment with a toilet, shower or bath, TV, fridge, air conditioning and baby cot, if you discuss it in advance.

The most budget holiday for today is in the Western part of Crimea, average prices are waiting for you in Sevastopol. The southern coast (Yalta, Alupka, Alushta) is the most expensive. There are seven water parks in the Crimea, there are ostrich farms, several dolphinariums and even the Yalta crocodile.Very informative, you can make the rest of the student. For children from 6 years and older, there are numerous excursions, weapon exhibitions, underground cities, palaces and fortresses.

Holidays on the Sea of ​​Azov should choose either large families, for whom it is important to spend their budget economically, or lovers of privacy. Secular entertainment coast is not rich, as well as resorts in the full sense of the word. But in small villages the beaches are flat, sandy, the water is pretty clean.

Kuchugurs, Ilyich are in the greatest demand. Peace and quiet, beautiful nature, of course, are good for kids, but the infrastructure here is poorly developed, and you have to run to find a first-aid post, a decent cafe or mail. You will have to live in a private guest house or in a "rented" apartment in the village.

In the village of Golubitskaya and Yeisk, rest is a bit more expensive, since there are hotels, hotels, restaurants with Caucasian and European cuisine. Teenagers will be interested to ride a catamaran, a yacht, visit a pirate town, and even paraglide. You can go fishing with your child, here they “peck” a lot and often, and fishing boats can be easily rented.

In Taman and Eisk, a large number of ethnographic museums, archaeological exhibitions, and if your student is fascinated by history, such excursions will be interesting to him.

This is an excellent alternative to the Black Sea coast for people who do not tolerate heat, for families with newborns and babies. This is almost ideal for children whose familiar environment is the climate of the northern part of Russia. Since doctors do not recommend such kids to drastically change the climate to hot, the first trip to the sea can be a visit to the west coast of the Kaliningrad region.

The cost of holidays in the Baltic Sea is about 30-35% lower than on the Black Sea. The landscapes of the Kaliningrad region are in no way inferior to the beauties of the Krasnodar Territory in their beauty.

Another disadvantage is the inconstancy of the weather and its perfect unpredictability.. It happens that the season breaks down here because of the constant rains, and sometimes, there is unbelievable heat for these places, when the thermometer in the end of May exceeds 30 degrees and stays at this point until the end of August. But the northern sun is quite gentle, it is not so painfully tolerated by young children.

Svetlogorsk and Zelenogradsk are best suited for family holidays. Here are great beaches, sandy beaches. Many hotels offer free accommodation for preschoolers.

Choosing a place to rest, you need to consider a lot:

• Remoteness of the resort. The further you have to go or fly, the more tired the child will be, and its acclimatization will be harder. Children from the northern regions should not go to the Black Sea or the Caucasus. Sharp climate changes will not benefit the baby.
• Infrastructure. It is very important that nearby, within walking distance of the intended place of your vacation, there is a hospital, clinic or medical office, because children are unpredictable, they may need the help of a doctor at any time. Pay attention to the availability of the beach, how far it is to go, and also try to find out if there are food shops, cafes, pharmacies nearby.
• Accommodations. What to choose - a hotel, hostel or rental private housing, it's up to you. But do not chase the cheap much. The child, especially the small one, needs a good rest at night, comfortable living conditions.

With the kids on the sea you should not go in the middle of the season. The sun is aggressive, the atmosphere on the crowded beach is noisy and restless. Especially in the middle of summer on many Russian beaches begins the period of algal blooms, the water becomes dirty, muddy, foul-smelling.

It is necessary to drive to Crimea with caution at the end of June, at this time there is a season of increased danger of infection with intestinal infections. And at the end of August it is quite difficult to go home from the peninsula, because the ferry is loaded - on the eve of September 1, many families tend to return to their homeland. You can get stuck in an incredible traffic jam for several days.

• When planning a vacation, consider the average duration of the child's adaptation period. This complex biological immune process takes an average of 4-7 days, in infants it can last up to three weeks. Remember that the child will be able to benefit from the sea holiday only after the end of the adaptation period. But because it boldly add another week.
• The last vaccination on the vaccination schedule the child should go no earlier than a month before the rest at sea.
• While on vacation, try to follow the usual routine for the baby. The child should sleep, eat and walk around the same time as at home. Then he will be able to rest well and usefully, like his parents.
• Do not give a child on the sea a lot of new and unusual for him food and local water from the tap or from a spring. This can trigger severe digestive disorders.

Thus, it is necessary to travel with a baby to the sea for 25-30 days, with the rest of the children - at least 14-18 days.
