Europe
Montenegro
The Adriatic coast beckons those who love a beautiful vacation amidst golden sands and captivating landscapes. Yes, people also go to Montenegro to bask in the sun and get a bronze tan. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to do this.
For example, one of the most popular beaches is Bečići. It's located near Budva and attracts not only tourists but also locals. The water there is clear, and the entry is shallow. So, if you want to go on vacation with children, it's perfect.
By the way, there's a women's beach in Montenegro where men are strictly forbidden. It's located behind a large stone wall, and a guard sits at the entrance. You can go there with your girlfriends and take cool selfies.
A couple more interesting options:
- Sveti Stefan (or Millionaires' Island) near Budva;
- the crowded Jaz surrounded by mountains and rocks;
- Kamenovo with clear water and an atmosphere of tranquility.
Turkey
Turkey is an undisputed leader among countries where you can relax by the sea without a visa. Moreover, in one trip, you can visit both Europe and Asia. So, if you want something specific, choose wisely.
Among the popular options for where to go in Turkey for a prime spot by the water, Marmaris or Fethiye are most often chosen. Not far from there is Cleopatra Beach, which is literally surrounded by rocks and considered public property. In addition to a paid entrance (about 550 rubles), the coastline is guarded.
In general, the rules at Cleopatra Beach are interesting: you can't enter the water with shoes, and it's not advisable to take sand from the bottom. This is because it is considered unique. Thanks to its spherical shape, the grains completely settle to the bottom, which keeps the surface of the Mediterranean Sea transparent.
You might also like these beaches:
- Patara, where you can find turtles;
- Oludeniz with turquoise water (and it's not even Photoshop);
- Icmeler, located right in the mountains.
Asia
Maldives
Well, the Maldives are a classic, without which no article about a visa-free sea vacation is complete. Of course, there are many options for how to spend a weekend here – choose to your taste and preference.
Among what is definitely worth your attention is Vaadhoo Island. Perhaps the name doesn't mean anything to you now, but rest assured, you've definitely seen photos of the famous glowing beach online.
Fulhadhoo Island is suitable for a family vacation: the entry into the water is shallow, there aren't too many people, and the place itself is considered one of the most beautiful in the Maldives. We recommend the Taj Exotica hotel (not to be confused with the Dubai one) for accommodation – with sun loungers and turquoise water.
Thailand
You won't have to rack your brains for long about where to go in Thailand. Firstly, there's a long coastline here (as much as 2,500 km) not only in large cities but also in the provinces. Secondly, you can escape the cold winter here for pleasant temperatures and a tan.
Confidential information: Koh Larn beach is particularly popular among tourists. It's located just ten kilometers from Pattaya, surrounded by green jungles and high mountains. Yes, there will be plenty of tourists there, but that's not a problem if you manage to grab a sun lounger early.
If you want to relax with the whole family, Karon Beach is a must-visit. As is traditional for such places, it has a shallow entry and clear sea. However, this location is also distinguished by the nearby 'Dino Park'. So, if you get tired of the noisy beach, go ahead and explore dinosaurs with your child.
Something else interesting:
- for nightlife, boldly go to Haad Rin Nok;
- for extreme sports enthusiasts, we recommend Railay in Krabi — a hard-to-reach beach where it's quiet and peaceful;
- Lamai on Koh Samui with a wide coastline.
Philippines
The resorts of the Philippines are wonderful not only for the opportunity to go to the sea without a visa but also for their landscapes. It's no wonder they are considered among the most beautiful on the planet. Just imagine: the work hustle is somewhere behind you, and you're lying on a sun lounger surrounded by palm trees with fruit juice in your hands... A true resort fairy tale!
Boracay Beach is considered the calling card of the Philippines. In the clear water, you can often spot colorful fish, and thanks to the developed infrastructure, you can try fruit desserts without even getting up.
Another interesting location is Paliton Beach. Pros: few tourists, so you can spend the day in peace and quiet.
United Arab Emirates
What kind of top list about a sea vacation would be complete without the Emirates? Luxury relaxation and high-quality service await you even on the beach. For example, in Dubai Marina.

Or La Mer — a relatively new beach where you can see the famous Burj Khalifa building from any point.
And to add a bit of thrill to your life and try something new, go to Kite Beach. There's a water sports center located there. And even if you're not a fan of active recreation, you can always watch all the fun from a sun lounger.

Near Abroad
Georgia
Want to escape closer to the Black Sea and away from problems? Then confidently plan your trip, because we know what to see in Georgia, and we'll gladly share cool locations.
It's very warm here, especially in summer. So, cool water will be very welcome. For example, travelers particularly like Sarpi beach in the village of the same name. It stretches to the border with Turkey, famous for its crystal-clear water and shallow entry.
Among the unusual beaches is Ureki. It is also called a "healing beach". Due to the admixture of magnetic iron ore, the sand here is black and looks very unusual from afar. And the trees surrounding the shore even have a positive effect on health. In short, it's a "two-in-one" effect: both beautiful and very, very beneficial. Moreover, Russians can easily enter Georgia with an international passport.
Azerbaijan
Among neighboring countries with visa-free sea access, Azerbaijan is often highlighted. All thanks to easy entry into the country, endless beaches, and the Caspian Sea nearby. For example, Zagulba is considered one of the cleanest in the area. Fortunately, there aren't many people here, so if you want to relax in peace and quiet – welcome!
Another option is Bilgah Beach. In fact, it's a hotel with its own coastal area. In addition to comfortable rooms, guests are offered convenient access to the sea and a huge swimming pool. In short, you definitely won't get bored in Azerbaijan.
Africa
Morocco
True exoticism awaits you on your trip if you decide to go to Morocco. Especially if you're used to palm trees, white sands, and crowds of tourists in Russia. So, if your heart craves something new, head to the secluded Legzira beach. Due to its remote location, it's not highly sought after by tourists; there's no infrastructure here, nor are there the usual palm trees and sun loungers. Instead, you'll find towering arches of orange-red rocks and complete tranquility.
Oh! Or the beach of the city of Essaouira, which shares its name. Pros: all infrastructure is nearby. Cons: many tourists.
Ideas you might like:
- the beach in El Jadida with small restaurants and an endless coastline;
- the Saïdia resort near hotels, a bustling center, and nightlife;
- Martil beach with a captivating view of the city.
By the way, our blog has already told you what to see in Morocco and how to get there.
Tunisia
Tunisia is a worthy competitor to Egypt and Turkey. The coast is well-maintained, a lifeguard is on duty at every beach, and the entry into the sea is usually shallow (which makes it easier to choose if you want to travel with children).
The beaches of Hammamet are considered among the most beautiful in Tunisia: the sand is fine and pleasant to the touch, and the coastline stretches for kilometers. Moreover, the developed infrastructure doesn't let you get bored: you can always try good drinks or just take a selfie against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
The most party-oriented beaches are often those in Sousse. They are literally a step away from the city, so young people often relax here. There's also Raf Raf beach (which has nothing to do with the coffee drink), surrounded by palm trees and with clear water.
We found some more cool options you might like:
- Sidi Bakour is considered one of the most famous on Djerba Island;
- and Sidi Ali El Mekki beach will delight you with pleasant water temperatures in any season.
Oceania
Fiji
You've probably heard almost nothing about Fiji. What a shame! After all, the country is in no way inferior to popular Maldives or Bali. You don't even need a visa to visit it. In short, it's all positives – isn't that a sign?
By the way, there are plenty of interesting beaches here. For example, Natadola. There's no developed infrastructure in the vicinity, but you can relax in peace away from tourists. Or the beach of Vomo Island. The water here is so transparent that from a height, an optical illusion is created: it will seem to you that the bottom of the beach goes far, far down. Fortunately, this is just an optical illusion, which you can only see if you fly on a small tour over the islands. Take our word for it, it will be an unforgettable adventure.
In general, in Fiji, you will often have a feeling of unreality: the colors there are as if turned up to the maximum, and the air is unusually clean. One could talk about this place endlessly, but it's better for you to discover everything yourself. So here are a couple of colorful locations you can visit:
- Tavarua Island, better known as the heart-shaped island;
- the Lau Islands with crystal-clear water and the same optical illusion as Vomo;
- the beach of Fiji's second-largest island — Vanua Levu.
America
Cuba
It's hard to believe that you can find a visa-free destination in America. However, here's a living example – Cuba. Among the popular beaches, Varadero is often highlighted – it's the longest and cleanest here. Travelers love this place for its pleasant climate and transparent turquoise water.
There's also Cayo Coco beach, named after the ibis bird (but Cubans simply call it coco). Families often vacation here. Again, this is due to the climate and comfortable entry into the sea.
There are also small beaches, such as Guardalavaca. Only three meters long, but due to the small number of tourists, there's enough space for everyone. Additionally, there's a diving center and a dolphinarium nearby, which will perfectly diversify your vacation.
Now you know everything about visa-free sea vacations abroad. All that's left is to pack your suitcase and embark on your unforgettable journey!
