Where to swim in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region

According to the forecast of the Hydrometeorological Center , on June 28 the air in St. Petersburg will warm up to +27. But on Saturday it will be cooler - only +23. In addition, rain is possible. However, Kolesov is confident that on warm days the region’s reservoirs are already suitable for swimming - in the Gulf of Finland, the water is warmest in the shallow waters in the Lisiy Nos area. And the rivers and lakes in the Leningrad region have warmed up even more: the water temperature there is already reaching 18-20 degrees Celsius, he noted.

There are not many swimmers on popular beaches yet. Although some swim at this temperature: this can be seen in the photo from the “ Laskovoy ” beach in Solnechny and the beach in the village of Sosnovo . And on the city beach of Sosnovy Bor, people simply go into the water and walk - which is normal for this location, even on hotter days. The beach is located in shallow water, the water in the bay warms up unevenly: near the shore it can be warm, but at greater depths it can be much colder.
