In certain seasons of the year, the choice of favorable types of recreation on the water area and on the coast of water bodies requires climatophysiological justification, as certain climatic conditions are necessary for various types of recreational activities. In the article describes the environmental evaluation for the development of popular types of water tourism: beach bathing, water sports, and cruise and the others on the example of Astrakhan Region. The basic meteorological data (atmospherical temperature, cloudiness, wind velocity, humidity) shows computations of number of days for the comfortable and uncomfortable period for different summer types of water tourism. The study has revealed that warm period in Astrakhan Region is very long, unique for Russia and averages 180-210 days. Period from May to October is regarded to be favorable and comfortable period for recreation. In the article presents computations of favorable days for separate kinds of motor-boating in different settlements of Astrakhan Region. The region possesses particular resources for the development of beach bathing tourism. Bathing season in Astrakhan is open in the last decade of June and is ended in the first decade of September. On the basis of calculations of climatic indexes it was calculated the number of days for the each area of Astrakhan Region for the development of beach bathing tourism. Astrakhan Region has a great potential for the development of summer types of tourism thanks to combination of environmental recreational conditions: huge amount of water bodies, convenient beaches, favorable hydrological regulations and climate.
