After 7 days of hiking, walking cave city of Mangup-Kale and The Grand Canyon of Crimea, we went to the sea. Coming down from the mountains, tired, overgrown and dirty, we wanted only one thing, it was to rest and put ourselves in order. And also quickly get to Fox Bay in order to smoke your bodies, getting a bronze tan.
Having reached Alushta, we rented an apartment for a day for as much as 200 UAH (800r) for seven people. Well, you can probably imagine what kind of apartment it was. Odnushka with furniture from the Stalin era, dirty and stuffy. At the same time, the owners themselves huddled on the balcony at the time we lived in it. It is sad and terrible that some people live so badly. And this is a resort town where rivers of money flow. One thing pleased me - the view from the window. But in a 30-degree heat it did not help much. For some reason the windows were covered with cotton wool. And only a small window made me happy with its breezes. With a sin in half, we all washed, in an equally dirty bath. And with animal passion they tore up 2 ripe and juicy watermelons. After the cereals and dried fruits on the hike, it was a real bliss. And in the morning we went to Fox Bay.

Fox Bay in Crimea
This is such a tent camp on the seashore. The tents stand for several kilometers. The places there are not wild for a long time, but fortunately, they are still free. There are cafes, shops with food, including vegetables and fruits. This is convenient, since you do not have to run every other day to the grocery store. Also, the most important thing is there, toilets! Otherwise, where on the beach to satisfy your needs? Equally important is the presence of shower cabins. Very useful after salt water. Toilet costs 2 UAH (8 rubles), shower 10 UAH (40 rubles).
There were many negative reviews about the cafe and the products sold, we did not use it ourselves, so I can neither deny nor confirm. We bought all the food in the store in Kurortnoye, the benefit of only half an hour walk.

Another of the entertainment is Mount Echki-Dag, which you can climb, tired of portraying a contented seal. Or admire the sunsets, because what could be more beautiful than a sunset on the sea ...

The contingent there is completely different. From ordinary vacationers with children to rastamans with drums. There are also many nudists in Fox Bay. And from different strata of society: both those who came to Tavria and the Nissan X-trail, both practicing yoga and drinking beer. The main thing is that everyone peacefully coexists with each other. This situation did not bother us at all, we are simple people, we are tolerant of different worldviews..

Only one thing in Fox Bay is bad. This is the absence of trees, and hence the absence of shade. More precisely, there are 20 trees, but of course they are occupied by those who live there for weeks. We didn't have an awning with us either, but we went on a hike and saved weight. Therefore, we fried like tobacco chickens in this hell for 2 whole days, not knowing where to shove ourselves, except for the salty sea! After that, the charred ones, we left for Feodosia and without any problems bought 7 reserved seats on the same day to Moscow. And who will tell me now that it is difficult to buy tickets in season?!
Just keep in mind that recently there has been a large number of negative reviews about Fox Bay: unsanitary conditions, theft, etc. From myself, I can say that we have not seen this, but that does not mean that it does not exist. If you are not sure, it is better not to go and look for something else. Although there are no really wild and clean places on the Black Sea for a long time.
P.S. Do you like the place? Then take a look How to get to Fox Bay. Have a nice rest!
