Why visit

Ureki is a small resort with a coastline of about 1.5 kilometres of dark sand. The sand contains magnetic minerals, and Georgian visitors have long come here believing it is good for their health.

What to expect

Pine trees back the beach, and the water is shallow near the shore, which suits families. The summer season runs from June to mid-September. Outside that window, many cafés and guesthouses close.
