Seaside Park and Colonnade

Subtropical resort park whose white colonnade has become Gagra's seaside symbol.

The Seaside Park was laid out in the resort-building years, planted with palms, plane trees, agaves, citrus, and other warm-climate species that make Gagra feel almost Mediterranean. Its best-known piece is the white colonnade near one entrance, the image that turns up again and again in photographs of the town.

Come for a walk rather than a checklist. The park is strongest as a piece of resort atmosphere, with the Black Sea on one side and the steep green slopes rising behind town.
