Divnomorskoe is a coastal village in Gelendzhik District that sits directly on the Black Sea and provides direct beach access. The settlement has modest buildings with small guest houses, a few hotels, and local eateries that line the coastal road.
The settlement began as a small community during the Soviet era and developed gradually as tourism grew along the Black Sea coast. Its name, which refers to the region's remarkable natural environment, was established during that period.
The community maintains local fishing traditions and keeps coastal building styles that reflect Black Sea life. In local restaurants and shops, visitors encounter typical regional cooking that remains part of daily routines.
The village connects to Gelendzhik by regular bus service along the coastal road a short distance away. The best time to visit is from May to September when the weather is warm and stable.
The village long remained a quiet escape for travelers wanting to avoid crowds and keeps its understated, authentic feel today. Unlike larger beach resorts nearby, it has less commercial development and more peaceful stretches of shore.
