A video from an Anapa beach has alarmed social media users.

Clay canyons on a beach in Anapa were caught on video after the rain. Some users expressed outrage at the quality of imported sand, while others hoped that the sand dumped on the beaches would eventually wash out to sea.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," authorities promised that the swimming season in Anapa will officially open on June 1 and last until September 30. Permission for swimming in the sea will be valid in areas excluded from the danger zone designated after the emergency with the tankers. Social media users expressed concerns about the safety of the water and sand. After cleaning up fuel oil and refilling with new sand, 15 beaches in Anapa received all the necessary permits for operation on May 29. Another 29 beaches, prepared for opening at the start of the swimming season, are undergoing inspection.

Blogger Andrey Makovozov posted a video from a subscriber at one of the beaches in Anapa on his Telegram channel. In the video, vacationers are walking along a beach with deep ditches visible.

"The much-vaunted beach after the rain. It's a nightmare. It's impossible to walk on this clay, let alone lie on it. It (clay, you can't call it sand) becomes covered in a crust, and when it dries completely, it turns into dust. They've just ruined all the beaches," the video description says.

"Well, if the beach used to have good sand, and you could lie on it and your feet would sink into the sand when you walked, now it's just clay, and after the rains everything is lumpy (I'm talking about the central beach). It feels like you're lying on a lump of earth, and it doesn't dry out quickly, and you can feel the moisture in the soil...," writes M N.

"I assumed that there would be "Erosions, but not like this!" - Oleg Andrianov was indignant.

"Where they sifted, everything is fine," writes Ya.

"Every day the situation at sea looks different, eventually all this loam will be washed away over time and everything will be good," Ladanat_07 expressed confidence.

"I walked along Pionersky, there are indeed places where the fill is 60 cm high, but at night it is washed away by storms every day and the clay milk goes into the sea," she added in another comment.
