Kabardinka resembles Gelendzhik: the same beautiful bay, long embankment, quiet music by the sea, but the water is much cleaner. However, the village also has its drawbacks. Let's walk through the resort together and get to know it better!
What the resort looks like
Kabardinka is a small village in the shadow of Gelendzhik. I thought that it was a collective farm and half-abandoned, like some small villages on the Black Sea, but no. The resort turned out to be clean and well maintained, with a long green promenade and an incredible amount of fun for the kids. A long pedestrian alley with lanterns, shops, souvenir stalls and cafes leads to the beaches.
Kabardinka is located in the beautiful Tsemesskaya Bay, which strongly resembles Gelendzhik. It is deep blue and framed by greenery, and the silhouettes of barges and ships can be seen on the horizon. Nice looking landscape!
The resort is also remembered for its pretentious pseudo-Greek style, just like Vityazevo. To tell the truth, some sculptures cannot be envied - they have such a sickly and creepy appearance, like the famous "Alenka" from Voronezh.

The private sector prevails in Kabardinka - guest houses, mini-hotels, apartments and houses. However, there are few hotels 3-5 *. Accommodation is cheaper than in Gelendzhik and even more so in Sochi. Check out how much it costs for two to live in the summer of 2021:

If you are traveling to Kabardinka with your family or a group of friends, it is cheaper to book an apartment or apartment with a kitchen. Look for housing in the private sector on Sutochno.ru - this is a convenient and reliable service with real photos and reviews of tourists. There you can rent an apartment, room or house directly from the owners. Do not expect to easily rent a house upon arrival at the train station - usually they offer apartments at inflated prices, in an inconvenient area and with a minimum of amenities. Book your accommodation 2-3 months before your trip.

Attention! During our large-scale audit of resorts in the south of Russia, we found that local hoteliers often deceive vacationers by buying positive reviews on travel sites, including Booking. Therefore, carefully read reviews before booking, especially negative ones - they will tell you a lot of interesting things. And also look at the owners' responses to criticism: if they are rude, make jokes and run into a tourist, then feel free to walk by. We advise you to always book your accommodation in advance, and not look for it on the spot, otherwise you will get a mediocre option, and even overpay.

Food prices in 2021
In Kabardinka, as elsewhere in the south, there is no shortage of catering. There are many inexpensive canteens where you can eat for RUR 200-250 per person. True, the rating of canteens on Yandex.Maps is low, and when I started choosing a place for lunch and reading reviews, I realized that there was nowhere to eat. We looked into the "Prestige", and there the dishes are open to all insects flying by. So they poured us soup with a drowned fly ... However, this is the problem of all cheap southern catering. Tourists speak well of the dining rooms "Sated Cat" and "Lakomka".
Many cafes, restaurants, pizzerias and kebabs are located on Mira Street and along the embankment. You can eat at the cafe for 350-500 rubles per person.
If you want to eat in a decent place, I can tell you the restaurants "Dacha", Kastalskaya kupil "," Naturlikh "- they have a high rating. The average bill is from 1000 rubles per person.
According to vacationers, many in Kabardinka stay in guest houses with a kitchen and cook on their own. Food is bought at Magnet, while fruits, vegetables, and cheeses are bought at the central market.
Beaches and the sea in Kabardinka
There are only pebble beaches in Kabardinka. If you find it difficult to walk on pebbles, buy special slippers. The entrance to the sea is shallow almost everywhere, but the depth grows rather quickly. The water is clean everywhere, unlike the bay in Gelendzhik! However, it was not without a catch - in some areas, large slippery stones are hidden in the water, which can be painfully hit by water.
The central beach of Kabardinka is the busiest. It has awnings and sun loungers, toilets, changing areas, showers, massage rooms, a path for the disabled, charging with free Wi-Fi and an area for children who cannot swim.
Other beaches are inferior to the central one in terms of infrastructure and are not so busy. There are fitness equipment on the Chaika beach, a children's playground on the Metro beach, and very photogenic umbrellas on the Coral beach, but there are coral reefs at the bottom.
Primorsky Boulevard stretches along all the beaches - a spacious and green embankment with flower beds, a small copy of the Eiffel Tower, cafes and canteens. It is tiled, there is even a bike path. There are a lot of attractions for children on the boulevard!
According to vacationers, lovers of solitude should go to the wild beaches on the western outskirts of Kabardinka. The best of them are located near the memorial to the Seamen of the Revolution, on the Doob and Penay capes and on the coastal section separating the Lazurny and Kabardinka boarding houses.
Intestinal infections are a really big problem in southern resorts. Rotavirus and norovirus are more often caught by children and are seriously ill, but adults also suffer from them. Be sure to collect a first-aid kit for rest and do not forget the compulsory medical insurance policy. Young children need to be vaccinated against rotavirus.
In order not to catch an intestinal infection in the Black Sea (and indeed in any sea, even abroad), you need to follow the basic rules of hygiene:
In terms of the amount of entertainment, especially for children, Kabardinka can compete with its neighbor Gelendzhik. The resort has rides on the waterfront, the ubiquitous "House Upside Down" (it seems that even the most run-down village already has one!), A water park, and a bunch of standard beach entertainment - from catamarans to parachutes. For adults - karaoke, nightclub, sea fishing and even diving.
There are not many attractions in the vicinity of Kabardinka. Look at the mega-popular sunken dry cargo ship "Rio", go to Gelendzhik, Novorossiysk, to the Pshadsky waterfalls, to the valley of the Zhane river to dolmens and waterfalls, go to the Old Park, beloved by all tourists for 600 ₽ (I consider it kitsch, but out of boredom you can look). Book excursions in advance on the Tripster or buy locally.
