.FYI: Dzhubga is quite a noisy village: the proximity of the highway and the traditional loud music from beach cafes have an impact, so if you are annoyed by harsh sounds, try to find accommodation, as far away from the seafront and the highway as possible.
.Beaches
The central beach of Dzhubga sandy-pebble and almost always crowded, and the maximum “concentration” of tourists is observed on the sandy part of the coast. Often the search for a free place on this piece of land turns into a fun quest, because rented in the nearest rental shop sunbed does not guarantee that it will be where to put. Due to the large influx of vacationers village utilities do not have time to monitor the cleanliness of the coastal zone, so that such a phenomenon as household garbage floating on the surface of the sea, in Dzhubga periodically takes place.

For vacationers, unencumbered by complexes and conventions, there is a wild nudist beach (landmark – the foot of Mount Ezhik). The approach to the sea here is stony and not quite comfortable, but the people in this place is noticeably less.
