![Иллюстрация](/blog/image/4888) # 12 Beaches of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region: Where to Relax This Summer Summer in St. Petersburg is short but bright. When sunny days come, you want to get to the water. I've gathered 12 best beaches within the city and region—from sandy spits of the Gulf of Finland to wild lakes of the Karelian Isthmus. ## Within the City **1. Laskovy Beach (Sestroretsk)** The most popular beach in the Kurortny District. Fine sand, gentle entry, sun loungers, cafes. Getting there—train to Tarkhovka station, then 10 minutes on foot. **2. Park of the 300th Anniversary of St. Petersburg** Central city beach with a view of Lakhta Center. Sand, volleyball courts, SUP rentals. Metro Begovaya—and you're there. **3. Beaches of Krestovsky Island** Several equipped zones along the Gulf of Finland. Clean, civilized, with changing rooms and toilets. Ideal for families with children. **4. Dunes Beach (Solnechnoye)** Sand dunes, pines, clean air. One of the most picturesque beaches. Getting there—train to Solnechnoye station. ## Leningrad Region **5. Beach in Zelenogorsk** Wide sandy beach, promenade, cafes. Great for bike rides—there's a bike path along the shore to Komarovo. **6. Lake Lembolovskoye** Clean water, sandy bottom, pine forest. Free wild beach 40 minutes from the city by car. Perfect for tents and barbecues. **7. Lake Mednoye (Losevo)** Popular spot for kitesurfers and SUP boarders.
