It’s quite convenient to admire the Palace Embankment and the Hermitage or contemplate the Spit of Vasilievsky Island in the distance while lying on the beach of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
Address:
St. Petersburg, Petrogradsky district, Peter and Paul Fortress
Observing the life of a modern city, it is easy to immerse yourself in history and imagine the events of three hundred years ago and Peter himself, who so masterfully transformed the sprawling expanses of swamps into a beautiful city on the Neva.
Petropavlovsky Beach in St. Petersburg
Beach on the Petrograd side near Petropavlovka
You can look at what is happening in the very center of St. Petersburg and admire its beauty not just by stretching out on a rug on the ground, but also in a fairly comfortable environment, sitting on a sun lounger under a large beach umbrella.
There are also locker rooms at the disposal of vacationers, where it is easy to turn from an office worker into an idle vacationer. Peter and Paul Beach is also one of the most easily accessible and, as a result, the most popular in the city.
You can get to it in just five to ten minutes from the Gorkovskaya metro station through Aleksandrovsky Park towards the Neva. Sunbathing on a sandy beach at lunchtime is not the best thing to do in the evening after a stuffy office? Beach on the Petrograd side near Petropavlovka
But you won’t be able to swim here: the water is cold, its temperature rarely rises above 18 degrees.
In addition, its cleanliness leaves much to be desired: the city makes its presence felt. But St. Petersburg environmentalists claim that by 2015 the water in the Neva will be so clean that swimming here will no longer be just another hooligan act. However, there are still more pleasant moments: in particular, performances by musical groups, sand figure festivals, volleyball competitions, aquabike competitions and other entertainment that are organized here quite often and not only on weekends.
Why not take part in them and feel like a brave wave conqueror or a famous sculptor for a short time? Beach on the Petrograd side near Petropavlovka
Or you can simply watch what is happening, combining business with pleasure: recharge with new impressions and sunbathe in a cozy atmosphere. After all, the mighty walls of the fortress protect very well from the piercing northern wind and help the sun’s warmth stay with you!
