Velikan Gulf Beach

The Cape was nicknamed the Giant, apparently in mockery of its size, it is quite small. But an increasing number of people are eager to visit its relief beauty. About 2 km of the shore decorated with rocks contain quaint stone arches, one next to the other. The first stands on three pillars. Another has Gothic outlines, which looks like a portal. From Cape Ptichiy to the Cape Giant sea waves “tuned” a lot of grottoes, pillars and caves. Rocks of cosy bays covered with an impenetrable taiga, and colonies of birds nest on standing in the sea stone giants.

The most daring experience the refreshing waters of the Sea of Okhotsk, bask in the sun and fishing. Others are catching the famous Sakhalin delicacy (sea urchins). A little further from the tourist sites you can find mushrooms or ... bears. So you should be careful. Take with you repellents. Local botfly burns strongly. The best shots are at dawn or sunset. The best parking places should be occupied from Friday. Wild places are becoming more and more inhabited. The smoke from the neighbor's barbecue will bring, then someone's bride, just descended from the helicopter, makes a photo shoot on the rocks.

When is the best time to go?

The best time to relax on the Far East coast – is July and August. At this time, the temperature of water and air reaches maximum levels: about + 20 °C on land and slightly lower in the ocean. Summer in Primorye is rather short and foggy, especially in the southern regions – the humidity there is much higher, which also contributes to a comfortable rest.
