TL;DR
Travelers generally report cleaner water in Sarpi and Kvariati than on Batumi’s city beaches. However, Sarpi can occasionally be murky near the shore, so check conditions on arrival.
The discussion did not provide a confirmed answer on Kvariati’s beach facilities or whether sunbeds are pushed on visitors. If you plan to bring your own beach mat, check directly with nearby beach cafés or rental operators when you arrive.
Kvariati and Sarpi were described as cleaner swimming options than Batumi’s beaches. The trip from Batumi can take around two hours depending on traffic and road conditions.
Sarpi can be murky right at the shoreline, so inspect the water from the beach before settling in, even though it is often considered a cleaner option. This matters especially after rough seas or rain.
