Where is the best place for a beach holiday in Georgia?

Batumi, Kobuleti, Ureki, Shekvetili, Gonio and Sarpi compared.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

It depends on what you want: Batumi suits a city break with restaurants and nightlife, Kobuleti a quiet family holiday, and Ureki and Shekvetili holidays with children on sandy beaches. The clearest water is usually at Gonio, Kvariati and Sarpi near the Turkish border. Beaches in and south of Batumi are pebbly, with sand starting north of Kobuleti.

Why

  1. Almost all of Georgia's coastline is in Adjara and Guria, between Sarpi and Anaklia.
  2. Ureki's black sand contains magnetite, which is why it is called the magnetic beach.
  3. Water is clearer in the south near the mountains, where fewer rivers carry silt into the sea.

Details

The swimming season runs from late June to late September. July and August are the busiest months, while in September the sea is still warm and there are fewer people and lower prices.

Tip

With young children, choose Ureki or Shekvetili for sand and a gentle entry into the water.

What may differ

Weather and sea conditions change daily; swimming is banned in storms, so watch the beach flags.
