On Wednesday, June 21, the thermometers in Kaliningrad crawled up to 30 degrees. Many townspeople have left to escape the heat on the coast, but so far few dare to swim. Klops spoke to vacationers regarding relaxing on the region’s beaches.

Sergei and his wife went to Zelenogradsk by car at eleven o’clock. By that time, a decent traffic jam had already accumulated towards the exit from the city – it took at least an hour to get to Krasnokamennaya, following the intersection the road was empty.
“They didn’t stop by Zelenogradsk itself, they left the car in the parking lot near Victoria and went on foot. We came to the beach and felt sad: there was darkness, people were lying, as far as you might see at all. We decided not to go somewhere far, we settled right under the promenade, ”said the man.
The water seemed to the Kaliningrader still icy – he went ankle-deep, he did not want to dive further. However, there were many daredevils around, many swam near the shore, although no one entered the water for a long time.
“In general, we lay on the beach for regarding an hour, sunbathed. It was overcast, but sometimes the sun came out, so we had enough. We drove back around an hour, there were no traffic jams at all, ”Sergey shared.

Ksenia with a young man decided to go in a less popular direction, the guys got to Yantarny in their car. Without traffic jams, but with adrenaline: “The road is quite narrow, there are many emergency sections, cars are rushing, someone cuts someone off, and as a result, an hour on the road, it feels quite stressful.”
The resort was not crowded, the couple decided to leave the car in a paid parking lot a few meters from the sea. The girl noted that this is a huge plus – the car will also be filled with a light breeze.
“It costs regarding 100 rubles. for an hour, that is, for the whole day if you go swimming, then this, of course, is inconvenient, it will come out a little expensive. But if you stopped by for three to five hours, then, in principle, it’s normal, ”says Ksenia.
Kaliningradka was also pleased with other amenities: there is a toilet, the beach is wide and clean, there are few vacationers. For those who come with children, there is also enough entertainment, for example, a water park on the lake, an equipped children’s font. The water in the sea is still icy, but the cool lake is “just right for the heat”.
“For my taste, this beach is the best in general in the region, because the sea is clean and the lake is clean. There is always an alternative: either to swim in the lake, where the water is always warmer, or to sunbathe on the sea, ”said the Klops interlocutor.
We returned back at 17-18, the road was empty.
“On weekdays it’s good to go there. Yantarny is still far away, and you can only get there by car or bus, so there are always not as many people there as in Zelenogradsk or Svetlogorsk, ”Ksenia added.

Arthur went to the coast to try out the bike path with his friends. The company with three iron horses without any problems climbed into the train at the North Station and headed to Zelenogradsk, and from there traveled to Pionersky.
“We came across midges all the way. You go, and they stick to you, pieces of 20-30. Then you stop, shake them off and go to collect them once more, ”said the guy.
Another nuance that prevented you from relaxing is the emerald greenery near the shore. The smell of algae periodically filled the lungs with iodine. However, the vegetation did not prevent swimming.
“I didn’t go into the water myself, but everyone was swimming around, and my friends also decided to try. They say that the water is already warm, you can go in. Maybe it seemed that way in contrast – before that we plunged in early May, then the fingers cramped as if they had hit them on the sofa, ”recalls Artur.
It was almost impossible to catch the sun anywhere along the way – it only occasionally peeped out, although it was stuffy: “Even in hats it was hard, and in the end my head still ached – apparently, it was hot.”
The company started back at regarding 16:00 from Svetlogorsk-1 station. This time, they even managed to take seats on the train, following Pionersky there were almost no free benches left, “but still no one was standing, not crowded.”
Baltic Spit
Natalya, who lives on the Baltic Spit, avoided traffic jams and an exhausting road – it takes no more than five minutes for a woman to walk to the most deserted beach in the region.
“The algae are not blooming yet. They say that our water is the warmest, but despite the stuffiness, I won’t even try to enter if it’s less than 20-22. And people are swimming. Only the main thing is not to forget regarding the rip currents, they are frequent and strong with us, ”the interlocutor shared.
The woman noted that this year, those who want to go to the equipped beach have to bypass the bank protection, but this does not spoil the rest.
“There were a lot of people on the beach, especially considering that this is Baltkos and a weekday,” Natalya added.
In the summer, you really want to rush to the sea, but public transport to Zelenogradsk and Svetlogorsk is crowded, and there is nowhere to stick a car on almost the entire coast. But few units reach the Baltkosa. “Klops” Weekend on the Baltkos: how to get there, what to do and where to sleep
