This serene and tranquil spot is truly a paradise on earth! With a pristine pool and a stunning shoreline, you can spend hours basking in the sun or taking a leisurely stroll through the Aqua Loo sanatorium grounds during lunchtime. For those interested in exploring further, the oceanarium and all-inclusive restaurant are just a short 300 ruble trip away. I highly recommend this idyllic destination for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.
The beach is stunning, and the sea is pristine with only a few people around. However, that's where the positives stop. There are no restrooms, so the vegetation along the shore is used as one. Reaching the store is very challenging, making it nearly impossible to live without a car.
The beach is small and suitable for sunbathing and swimming, although the experience may vary depending on the number of people present. Personally, I prefer it when it is less crowded. The Black Sea is always a stunning sight to behold. There is a designated children's area for small kids to play, and a public restroom is available on the beach, although it may not be open year-round. Additionally, there are several cafes in the vicinity.
This beach is perfect for those seeking a peaceful holiday with all the necessary amenities. The coast is lined with cafes, sun loungers under umbrellas and canopies right by the sea. Prices are reasonable and the water is clean with that refreshing sea smell. I prefer the more secluded beaches, but there is also a central beach with a charming promenade and dining options. There are private hotels and mini-hotels to suit every budget. It's just a half hour train ride to the center of Sochi, and there is an abundance of fresh fruit and fantastic weather to enjoy.
We arrived in Loo for our vacation on 07/02/21. In the evening, we decided to explore the beach and were taken aback by the sheer number of vacationers and how densely packed everyone was. To secure a better spot, we decided to come early the next day. Unfortunately, the following two days were marked by storms and heavy rain, which caused the pebbles on the beach to pile up higher and closer to the embankment, reducing the available space even further. Adding to the congestion, entrepreneurs have set up sun loungers and swings all over the beach, charging reasonable prices: 300 rubles for a sun lounger and 100 rubles for an umbrella. Since this is a state beach, no efforts are being made to improve it. The slopes from the embankment to the beach are in poor condition, made of flimsy wood and broken down. I heard that funds might be allocated for reconstruction, but I have no idea when that will happen.
