Опубликовано: 20.07.2026 | Обновлено: 26.07.2026
In September in Primorye comes the velvet season. Summer heat gradually subsides, typhoons go far into the ocean, and the water still retains summer heat. Tourists often ask where to go in the Primorsky Territory in autumn. If you decide where to go to the sea in Primorye, pay attention to three famous locations.
Tourists often choose Nakhodka, Andreevka and Livadia. Each place has its own characteristics and advantages. We have collected a guide on the beaches, which will help to plan the perfect trip to the Sea of Japan.
Nakhodka: white sands and wildlife
The Nakhodka and its surroundings attract connoisseurs of the clean sea. Within the city is Ritz beach with a developed infrastructure that is suitable for family holidays.
Near the village of Vrangel, you'll find Triozerye Bay, renowned for its fine white sand and clear azure water. A little further away, the hard-to-reach Okunyovaya and Spokoynaya bays are hidden.
Visitors to the Nakhodka area will appreciate a vacation near Nakhodka. The local beaches are perfect for SUP paddleboarding.
💡Keep in mind that the sea here is deep and quite cool in September.
Andreevka: active recreation and entertainment
Khasan district is the warmest point in the region. The village of Andreevka regularly breaks records for the number of sunny days. It is worth going here to rest for the warmed up sea and noisy parties. The closed Bay of Trinity warms up very quickly and does not cool down until September.
Pluses of holidays in Andreevka:
• A huge choice of housing for any budget.
• Long swimming season due to shallow water.
• Dozens of water attractions for the whole family.
• Proximity to Gamov peninsula and Far Eastern Marine Biosphere Reserve
💡Andreevka is a classic seaside resort: hotels and resorts are located along the seafront, and cafes, shops, and nightlife establishments operate on the shore.
Livadia: the perfect balance of nature and comfort
Livadia harmoniously combines comfort and sea space. Tourists know the area because of its endless sandy beaches. Local residents conditionally divide the coastline into several long zones. The first beach offers tourists a maximum of infrastructure and entertainment. Distant beaches delight guests with silence and freedom from fuss.
Large families with children come here constantly. A gentle entry into the water makes swimming as safe as possible. The village covers all the basic needs of the traveler: you will find shops, pharmacies and restaurants here

Prepared a graphic table, which is convenient to navigate when choosing a place to relax.

How to get to the beaches of Primorye and plan a trip
The road largely determines the quality of the entire holiday. To Livadia leads a comfortable asphalt track from Vladivostok itself. The journey by car takes about three hours.
You will reach Andreevka in three and a half hours. Builders regularly repair the highway Razdolnoye - Hasan, so you can safely go by car.
Nakhodka neighborhoods require a special approach. To the picturesque bays like Triozeria, you will have to go along a difficult forest road. Rains often blur steep ground climbs, so we recommend using a high SUV.
Useful tips for travelers:
- Reserve rooms in advance. September is in great demand among tourists from all over the Far East.
- Be sure to take warm things. Autumn evenings by the sea quickly become cold.
- Check the current weather forecast. Seaside cyclones sometimes make tough adjustments to plans.
- Download offline maps. In the vicinity of each place there are picturesque capes without cellular connection.
The velvet season in the Primorsky Territory always gives a soft sun and a clear sea. Choose wild beaches in the vicinity of Nakhodka, party Andreevka or spacious Livadia. We are waiting for you!
