In the Mykolaiv region, two recreational areas on the Tiligul Estuary have been prepared for the summer season

Divers have completed a comprehensive survey of the seabed along the coast of the Tiligul Estuary. Two areas in the region have been officially designated for public recreation—near the village of Kobleve and on the second spit near the village of Ukrainka.

This was reported by theKobleve Territorial Community

To ensure the safety of vacationers, rescue stations have been set up at both locations. Regional authorities have equipped them with boats, jet skis, and the necessary specialized equipment. Rescue personnel will be on duty at these locations at all times.

Experts have already established the boundaries for safe swimming and set up the basic infrastructure. At the same time, officials emphasize that swimming is permitted exclusively within these two designated zones. Vacation organizers will ensure constant safety monitoring along the coast.

Earlier, Vitaliy Kim, head of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, expressed doubts about whether this year’s resort season would take place in Mykolaiv. According to him, despite preparations for the opening, the military is not granting permission due to the high level of danger. The region is located much closer to enemy positions than, for example, Odesa, which makes the coastline vulnerable to attacks by FPV drones and artillery.

Kim noted that, technically, the region is ready to open its beaches. In particular, a system to protect against sea mines has been developed using special structures. Specific plans have also been prepared for opening individual locations should permission be granted. However, according to preliminary estimates, access to the open sea will most likely remain closed in 2026.

As is well known, with the start of the full-scale invasion,the village of Koblevein the Mykolaiv region was closed to vacationers. The coastline was mined to protect against the Russian army. Today, all that remains here are dilapidated hotels and abandoned vacation resorts, while the local shops where people once bought and sold goods are overgrown with weeds.

In February, the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration discussed thepossibility of reopening the beaches in Kobleve, but they were unable to reach an agreement with the military.

Meanwhile,in the Odesa region, plans are in place to open more beaches than last year.
