One hundred Anapa beaches have been recognized as safe for vacationers.

Rospotrebnadzor issued permits for the opening of 100 beaches in Anapa. Another 12 beaches are undergoing examination.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the Anapa beaches, after being replenished with new sand, turned into a mixture of stones and clay, and officials' reports do not correspond to reality, Telegram users pointed out. According to commentators, significant costs were required to replenish the Anapa beaches after the oil spill, but the first storms washed away the sand, and the remaining sand on the shore has compressed. Another problem for Anapa's beaches after the storm has been the large amount of seaweed.

One hundred beaches in Anapa received permission to open after the elimination of the consequences of the oil product spill, the press service of the Russian government reported today.

"The replenishment of beach areas affected by the emergency has been completed. Permits from Rospotrebnadzor have already been received by 100 beaches in Anapa. Another 12 are undergoing examination," the official Telegram channel reported.

Monitoring of the Black Sea waters continues, but no new oil product discharges on the coast of the Krasnodar region have been recorded, the press service of the government noted.

The resort season in Anapa has opened against a backdrop of sharp contrast in the state of the coastline. Some beaches are open and recognized as safe, while other areas are closed due to erosion, unstable soil, and environmental risks. A report from "Caucasian Knot" titled "Anapa Beaches: Open and Dangerous Zones" explains which beaches are ready for visitors and which pose a danger.

Despite the problems with sand and seaweed on the beaches, Anapa showed the most significant increase in tourists in the Krasnodar region in July, highlighted a hotelier. Hotels are keeping prices in Anapa at last year's level and even holding sales, emphasized the hotelier.

On December 15, 2024, two tankers carrying fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. As a result, a crew member of one of the tankers died. Additionally, an oil product spill occurred, leading to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to a report from "Caucasian Knot" titled "Fuel Oil Spill in the Kerch Strait". Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Ecological Disaster in Kuban".
