How to get to it? This question will certainly occupy their minds, so it is necessary to answer it as soon as possible.

Beach Guest Impressions
Many residents of the capital go to relax on the Levoberezhny beach (Moscow). Reviews about this place are more positive. People like the way everything has been ennobled here. Free toilets and the presence of a cafe are very pleasing to vacationers. Some, however, lack the sun umbrellas and sun loungers that are not available here.
Many are disappointed by the fact that on the hottest days there are a lot of people here. But this is understandable, because everyone wants to swim. It is also embarrassing that power lines pass very close by. Most likely, this place will not be very pleasant for those who want to relax in silence. After all, music is playing quite loudly in the cafe, so you won't forget about extraneous sounds on the beach.
