In view of the limited holiday opportunities on the Black Sea coast, the Russian Association of Tour Operators (ATOR) suggests exploring other regions of Russia that offer beach vacations. One such destination is the Caspian shore of Dagestan.

The region offers a unique experience far from typical beach holidays. The average daily temperature in July is around 22 degrees Celsius, with daytime temperatures often reaching 26 to 28 degrees Celsius. Water temperatures can range from 24 to 26 degrees Celsius.

The allure of Dagestan coastline is in its shallow waters and absence of medusae. Nonetheless, the window for pleasurable swimming is brief, spanning from mid-June to late August. One can also integrate beach leisure with excursions throughout Dagestan, catering to those seeking an active vacation experience. A drawback is the dearth of high-quality accommodations, which may impact overall comfort levels.
