Last year, 2024, the beach season in Odesa region opened on June 8. There were 20 locations available for swimming, which were previously checked to ensure they met safety standards.

In 2023, the holiday season in Odesa region was opened only in August. The situation in the region was extremely tense, in particular, due to the Russian terrorist attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. It was extremely dangerous to swim in the sea at that time. But the local authorities still decided that people should have a rest on the seashore, so they allowed the velvet season. Only six beaches were officially opened in Odesa.
