Do you want to sunbathe on the beach in Moscow? We have collected all the beaches of the capital!
Moscow region beaches, we are opening the swimming season
It is almost impossible to imagine summer without a reservoir. A photo of the best beach in the world on a computer screen is clearly not enough. A dacha in the Moscow region, the first according to statistics place for spending summer weekends and vacations - this is, of course, wonderful, but sometimes you want to lie under the hot sun without thinking about anything and sunbathe, if the weather and place allows, then swim. All the beaches of the Moscow region are at our disposal. That's just where to go and the most important thing that awaits us there, besides warm sand and cool water, it is better to know in advance.
In the beginning it is worth mentioning the weather. Going too early to the beach in the Moscow Region can be hazardous to your health. The sun in our latitudes is hot and hot, but the soil, which has frozen almost 2 meters during the winter, thaws slowly and remains cold for a long time. Without fear of the consequences and without additional equipment, you can sit on the ground no earlier than mid-June.
The first attempts to get out into nature begin as usual on the May Day holidays. In a particularly hot time, desperate citizens go to rest and swim on the beaches of the Moscow region.
To lie down or sit on cold ground is harmful to everyone and especially to children. Squatting, kneeling are not suitable. Such a picnic in the suburbs can end up with inflammation of the kidneys and a hospital. In this regard, getting out to the beaches of the Moscow region, we first learn how the recreation areas are equipped.
Relaxing on sun loungers is much more comfortable, but usually this service is paid. This means we take tourist rugs, folding chairs and armchairs with us. The beach mat will become relevant in June, when all the beaches of the Moscow region finally warm up.

Safety of the beaches of the Moscow region
The beach is a place for swimming, often not the safest one. Conventionally, they are divided into civilized and wild. Civilized holiday destinations usually have an organizer who receives special permission. His duties include cleaning the territory, ensuring security, equipping the area with beach cabins, sun loungers, awnings, toilets, parking and catering points.
All these amenities are often charged. About 60 civilized beaches in the Moscow region are opened annually. Usually in such a place there is a playground for sports games, a separate area for water sports and a rescue service.
The wild beaches of the Moscow region are practically not equipped with anything, no one is responsible for the cleanliness and safety there. Any part of the coast can be called a wild beach. The danger of such places is the lack of knowledge of the bottom.
Rivers and lakes have extremely deep stretches, underwater currents or springs. Not all people can cope with the strong current or momentary numbness of the legs and arms if accidentally dropped into extremely cold water.
Another option for a wild beach is when there is a recreation area, descent to the water, and swimming is prohibited. The “No Swimming” sign is placed on those bodies of water where swimming can threaten life and health. Do not neglect this prohibition.
How to determine where you can swim
On which of the beaches of the Moscow region you can swim is determined by the Rospotrebnadzor commission together with the rescuers of the Ministry of Emergencies, on the basis of an annual survey of the bottom and coastal area. Bathing spots are checked twice in summer: in April, as soon as the ice melts, and at the end of May, before the start of the bathing season.
In the event of serious violations, the organizers of the beach holiday are issued an order to eliminate them. By mid-June, a list of beaches in the Moscow Region is published where swimming is officially allowed.
The quality of the beaches of the Moscow region is determined by many indicators. First of all, the territory is examined for security. The bottom of any beach in the Moscow Region, where swimming is allowed, must be safe: no glass fragments, metal fittings, construction and household waste.
Water must meet sanitary standards, i.e. the number of microorganisms in the water will not harm the average healthy person. You should not forget about your health and you should not drink liters of water from the river.
As for the bottom, it is ideal to swim in silicone shoes, which will protect your feet from possible injuries. First of all, the safety of bathing places depends on vacationers, if you do not throw bottles and cans into the water, then dangerous garbage will have nowhere to come from.
Bay of Joy - Malibu What to take with you
It is worth paying close attention to the fees when going to swim at the beginning of the season. It is unlikely that you will forget about your swimsuit or swimming trunks, but there are many things to think about in advance.
Please note if the place is equipped with sun loungers, if not, do not forget to bring a rug or a large towel. And even if equipped, it is much more pleasant to sunbathe on your own rug, carefully and regularly wiped after use.
A headdress is required for both adults and children. Sitting on the beach in the shade, keep in mind that you will still be swimming in direct sunlight, so do not forget a cap and sun cream.
If you want to not only quench your thirst, but also get a good and even tan, do not forget to bring water with you. It has long been noticed that people who consume a lot of water, the skin stays young longer and the tan lays down better.
First of all, the things that you will definitely need:
- tourist or beach mat;
- headdress;
- remedy for sunburn;
- drinking water.
We collect other things at will: a towel, sunglasses, entertainment, etc. It is worth thinking about special shoes - walking on sand or grass in office shoes is not very comfortable, and barefoot is not entirely pleasant. And don't forget to be in a good mood.
Where to swim with children
You can only let your child swim freely in a fenced-off paddling pool. This does not exclude the constant supervision of your child. If there are water slides and attractions on the shore, then you should not let the children go there alone.
It is better to stay nearby so that the child is always within your sight. There are few beaches in the Moscow region where you can swim with very young children, but still there are.

- free admission.
Choose the best swimming spots and try not to burn out.
Highlights
Lake Senezh is 5 km long and 3.5 km wide. The northern coast is made up of an artificial dam with a length of 1.5 km. In the west and east, the lake has elevated shores, and in the south - low and swampy. Its bottom is muddy, and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe dam it is sandy. The average depth is 2.5-3 m, and the maximum is 6 m. Senezhskaya water has long been famous for its purity and transparency.
Senezh is not a natural reservoir, but one of the oldest reservoirs near Moscow, which was formed in 1826, when they began to build a canal connecting the Istra and Sestra rivers. The new waterway became necessary in order to deliver the stone from the Volga to Moscow faster and cheaper, from which the builders subsequently erected the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. A lot of people worked on the canal, it was built for almost a quarter of a century, with three stone sluices, a dam and 8.5 km of earthen channel. However, the artificial canal could not withstand the competition with the constructed railway and, as a result, turned out to be abandoned.
Interestingly, at the end of the 19th century, the first hydroelectric power station near Moscow appeared on the dam of Lake Senezh. It was built with funds from Baron Knopp and had a power of 50 kW. In the middle of the last century, so that tanks could move past the reservoir to the training ground, old hydraulic structures were concreted, and the dam was filled up.
The name of the reservoir comes from the name of a small lake of glacial origin, which today is a bay in its southern part and is called Stary Senezh. Today, the city of Solnechnogorsk is located on the shore of the lake, as well as smaller settlements. The Sestra River flows out of the reservoir, and several streams flow into it from the southern side.
Fishing on Lake Senezh
Senezh is considered a paradise for fishing lovers. At any time of the year you can meet here fishermen who catch bream, roach, pike, carp, perch, tench, ruff, goldfish and goldfish, eel, gobies and pike perch. The most popular fishing methods are float rods, spinning rods, circles, girders and bottom tackle (feeder). There are several fishing bases on the lake.
Since 1964 there has been a fish farm "Senezh" on the lake. Nowadays, this company offers everyone an excellent paid fishing. In addition to carp, roach, perch, pike, carp and silver carp, you can fish here for trout and grass carp. Individual fish weigh up to 10 kg.
Rest on Lake Senezh
On weekends, many come to the vastness of Lake Senezh to windsurf and kitesurf. In the middle of summer, beach lovers rest here. There are boat stations and a cafe on the shore, as well as sports grounds for playing volleyball and basketball. Sandy beaches are paid, they are equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers.
Those who want to spend a few days on the lake can rent a cottage or stay in a hotel at the Senezh House of Rest and Creativity of Artists. The memorial estate of Alexander Blok "Shakhmatovo" is located 10 km from the lake.

How to get there
From Moscow to Lake Senezh can be reached by car. First, you need to go along the Leningradskoe highway (E105 highway) to Solnechnogorsk, and already in the city itself turn right to Timonovo.
Those who get there on their own take a suburban electric train to the Podsolnechnaya station. Direct trains run from the Leningradsky railway station in the capital to Podsolnechnaya.

How to find out where it is safe to swim in the Moscow region,
We leave - through the city, the turns from the Moscow Ring Road are closed - on the Leningradskoe highway towards Solnechnogorsk, about 51 kilometers. And then - two options, depending only on the traffic load. You can drive through Solnechnogorsk almost completely and then turn right onto Naberezhnaya street, which smoothly turns into Timonovskoye highway. We drive about 2.5-3 kilometers to the dam - and there we are already choosing a place to rest. The "old" Senezh is on the left, the new one is on the right: the modern lake was formed artificially, 200 years ago. The second option of arrival (longer) - before reaching Solnechnogorsk, after the Dubinino village turn right and through the Redino village to reach the Senezh village. There can be parking problems: cars are mostly parked on the side of the highway. The banks are mostly "green", although today the grass is either burnt out and trampled down. The water is not that crystal clear, but it is suitable for swimming.
You can relax in a civilized manner by paying 150 rubles to enter the beach of any of the nearby holiday homes. The price includes the rent of a barbecue, although now it is not recommended to barbecue on the shore.
Active recreation offered diving and surfing, but the latter is eliminated due to the lack of good wind - heat. You do not need to stock up on food "to go". There are shops in the villages, in addition, if you pass Solnechnogorsk, there are McDonald's and Rostiks.
Recreation zone "Meshcherskoye", Vostryakovsky district of Moscow region
The convenience of this recreation area is its close location to Moscow. The disadvantages are the lack of civilized parking. You can get there either along the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road (soon after the junction with General Dorokhov Street (Ochakovo) there will be an exit to the right, onto Voskresenskaya Street. We drive along it a few hundred meters until the second turn to the left is Meshchersky Prospekt. It is better to leave a car and a couple somewhere here walk hundreds of meters to the water.
The second option is to enter either from Ryabinovaya Street, or from the inside of the Moscow Ring Road. We pass under the Ring - and, as soon as the country houses appear on the right, we turn right - this is the same Meshchersky Avenue. Before the heat, only residents of the village and rare Muscovites rested here, but today half of the Western District comes here. The beach has a volleyball court, a children's playground, benches, changing rooms, a drinking fountain, free dry closets, showers and a cafe. There is a rescue point, a first-aid post and a police station. There are boat rentals and free parking. Litter bins and trash containers are enough. The sand is only near the coast, so you will have to sunbathe on the grass. The swimming area is fenced with buoys, and there is no children's beach.
Rublevsky beach, Myakininskaya floodplain of the Moskva River ()
Before its "entry" into the city limits, the Moskva River has several floodplains in its upper reaches. One of the closest - one and a half to two kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road - Myakininskaya. You can get here either along the Myakininskoe highway (from the Moscow Ring Road about 2 kilometers along the Novorizhskoe highway to the turn to the Myakininskoe highway), or by bus # 127 from the Molodezhnaya metro station to the final stop. The entrance is paid, 100 rubles. They can ask for the same amount for parking the car. On the shore there are several cafes, there are changing cabins, showers. There are boats and catamarans for rent, volleyball and football courts, a first-aid post and a lifeguard station. The bathing area is surrounded by buoys, and there is a paddling pool for the kids.
You can choose for swimming a little more distant Pavshinskaya floodplain. This is either another two kilometers along New Riga, or a few hundred meters after the turn to Myakinino, you have to go to the right, to an inconspicuous two-row. Along it to the water - about a kilometer.
Ozerninskoe reservoir ()
If you go here in the morning and on weekdays, you can get there very quickly, even despite the fact that there are 108 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road to Ruza (this is a staging post on the way to two large reservoirs in the west of the Moscow Region). We leave for the Minsk highway - and everything is straight and straight, up to the turn to Dorokhovo (85 kilometers from the MKAD. From it to Ruza - 22 kilometers. Here - attention! - a confusing roundabout. The second exit to the right - to the Ozerninskoe reservoir, the third - to The places around are beautiful, the water is still clean, although it is no longer cool. The only drawback is that you will not find a civilized rest here, unless you ask to go to the beaches of the Parus boarding house.
There are settlements nearby, but it is easier to take food and drink with you: the locals fight at exorbitant prices.
Ruza reservoir ()
Istra reservoir ()
One of the water intakes in Moscow, and therefore there is no need to complain about the quality of the water here. There are only three places for recreation and swimming on the Istra reservoir - near the village of Malye Berezhki, Pyatnitsa or Trusovo. Near the village of Trusovo, the beach is well-maintained; there are changing rooms, sports grounds, swimming areas for children, cafes and barbecue. A lifeguard tower and a boat station are equipped, you can rent sports equipment, catamarans, boats, sun loungers.
Pirogovskoe reservoir ()
One of five, located in a cascade - Klyazminskoye, Pirogovskoye, Pyalovskoye, Uchinskoye, Pestovskoye. Officially, there are few places where you can swim, but there is no end to those who want to plunge, even despite the tragedy that happened in mid-July - when the yacht crushed the bathers under itself.
The direct route is along the Ostashkovskoe highway (entrance from the Moscow or Yeniseiskaya street) to Pirogovo. In theory, after 15 kilometers, any left turn will lead to water. You can get to the opposite bank if after Pirogovo, after another three kilometers, turn left.
But you can stop at Pirogovo itself - there are as many as three beaches. Flagman beach (there are signs near the road) - entrance costs 100 rubles, plus 200 rubles for parking. There are changing rooms and showers, playgrounds, football and beach volleyball fields. Sun lounger rental - 250-300 rubles per day. Boat rental hour - 150 rubles. Food can only be purchased at beach cafes.
The next beach after the "Flagman" - "Dubrava" Entrance is free, parking outside the beach (if you find a place, ha-ha) is also free. Entrance to the beach - 100 rubles. The bottom is sandy and almost clean.
There is also a wild beach to the left of Pirogovo. Everything is free here, except for food in a cafe. The main disadvantages are the immeasurable amount of water transport under the control of drunk captains.
Klyazminskoe reservoir ()
First or last? - in this cascade. You can get there either by train to the Khlebnikovo platform from the Savelovsky railway station, but in the heat it is a little pleasure. If you go by car, then along Dmitrovka until the junction in front of the Klyazminsky bridge (it is impossible to miss it - the cyclopean structure can be seen from afar). After 4 kilometers there will be a pointer to the Gorki beach. Entrance is free (at least it was not long ago), for parking they can ask for 100 rubles. The bottom is clean (sometimes they check), but there are few benefits of civilization - changing cabins and cafes. The inconvenience is the same - boats and yachts ...
Pyalovskoe reservoir ()
It will take a long time to get to it. Along Dmitrovka, not reaching a few hundred meters to Sholokhovo. There will be a roundabout, turning right onto it, you need to go straight along the two-lane highway. After driving a couple of kilometers, turn right - and then you don't turn anywhere until the very water. True, you will have to look for a place for a free vacation - there are cottage villages with "private beaches" all around. If you want to relax in silence - contact the "travel agencies", which are full on the Internet. But you have to pay for a pass, the price is negotiable. If you like to swim “to the opposite bank”, keep in mind that the Moscow Canal, a navigable river artery, passes through the Pyalovskoye reservoir.
Pestovskoe reservoir ()
Go to it about the same as to Pyalovsky. But, turning from Dmitrovskaya, remember that, after passing Kryukovo, after a kilometer and a half, before Aksakovo, you must turn left. And along the narrow road, along the Moscow Canal, another 4-5 kilometers. This is the farthest and quietest reservoir. Another option is a left turn at the 23rd kilometer of the Yaroslavskoe highway, along the Small Ring to the Morozki platform - then along Dmitrovskoe highway.
These are really remote places, a nature protection zone. Pay attention to the signs "Swimming and fishing is prohibited" - here the violators are really being watched. It is best to join a group of cars on the side of the road - most likely, there will be a clearing with a clay bank nearby. Making fires is naturally prohibited. And try not to litter - you then drink this water.
