A small Black Sea beach known for its magnetite-rich black sand. The water stays shallow far out, making it one of Georgia's best beaches for children and far quieter than the crowded Batumi boulevard.
June–September. Outside these months the sea is cold and the area nearly empty.
There is no train and no comfortable public transport between Georgian cities. The practical option for a family is a car with a driver who meets you at the airport, stays with you throughout, and knows the mountain roads.
Ureki is quieter with shallower water, but Batumi has more restaurants and services. Many families stay in Batumi and visit Ureki for a day.
