The village of Vityazevo has the widest sandy beaches on the entire Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. Their width reaches 100 meters. Sand dunes stretch along the beaches. Their height reaches 15 meters. All beaches have a very flat entrance to the sea, which has made Vityazevo a popular children`s resort.

Vityazevo used to be a small suburb of Anapa, but in recent years a lot of hotels have appeared here. Tourists are attracted by wide sandy beaches and dunes. They were formed due to the several millennia ago the Kuban River flowed into the Black Sea in this place. She carried a huge volume of sand from the northern slope of the Caucasus Mountains. In some places there is a lot of quartz in the sand, and sunbathing on quartz sand is very useful, especially for children.

The central beach is located near the pier, where the pedestrian Boulevard Paralia begins. The official name of this street is Chernomorsky street, but the Vityazevo city authorities are developing an ancient Greek theme in the city, so the pedestrian zone was named Paralia. Translated from Greek, "Paralia" means "Embankment". Ships are moored at the pier, where you can make an excursion towards Anapa and further to the Utrish Nature Reserve.

On the left side of the Central Beach is Vityaz Beach. This beach is located near the Olympia Water Park. Next is the Pearl of Russia Beach. It is named after the Pearl of Russia children`s sanatorium, which is located here. This beach is closed for swimming, only children from the sanatorium swim here.

To the right of the Central Beach there is the Beach of the Dune sanatorium, then Atlantic Beach and Venus Beach. The farthest from the pier is Torguga Beach, which is considered a youth beach. There are many bars right on the sea. All the buildings of Torguga Beach are made like pirate huts on the islands. In the evening, youth discos and themed parties are held on Tortuga Beach.
