Where to go to the sea in May in Russia, abroad with children

In May, using the long weekend, many Russians go to the sea. You can go to the Black Sea coast of Russia or abroad. When planning a trip, it is worth taking into account the weather features, because in May the sea is still far from becoming comfortable for swimming everywhere.

The cost of tours is also important: more budget options are offered with departure in the second half of the month, but it is at the end of May that the rainy season begins in many foreign resorts.

Where to go to the sea in May

The territory of Russia extends to the coasts of 13 seas, including the Caspian. However, it is difficult to swim in most of them due to low temperature indicators: for example, in the Baltic Sea in the last month of spring, the water temperature varies from +5 ° C to 14 ° C.

In the White and Barents Seas, the water warms up to +12-16 °C in May. Therefore, Russians traditionally go to the south, to the resorts of the Azov and Black Seas. Residents of the Far East choose holidays on the Sea of Japan.
