Nardaran beach
Nardaran, an enchanting urban-type settlement, is home to approximately 10,000 residents. Exclusively crafted as a tourist haven, it nestles in the north-east of Baku, gracefully sandwiched between two resort areas - Novkhany and Zagulba. The majestic Haji Bakhshi Mosque, along with the venerable Nardaran Fortress, emerges as the village's crowning attractions. Furthermore, visitors are often captivated by the opportunity to acquire the region's renowned carpets, celebrated for their local craftsmanship.

Beach description
Welcome to Nardaran Beach, a picturesque destination perfect for your next beach vacation in Azerbaijan! Spanning approximately five kilometers, this coastal haven offers a diverse landscape that caters to all preferences. In certain areas, the beach edge varies from a modest twenty to a generous seventy meters in width. Amidst the sandy stretches, you'll occasionally find patches of lush greenery, a delightful contrast to the azure waters they neighbor.
The beach's sand is notably coarse, transitioning to a blend of small and medium shingle of a light ashen hue as you move eastward. This shingle is a natural mosaic of coarse sandstone and shell rock. Venture to the western part of the beach, and you'll be greeted by an expanse of large, smooth stones. The central coast is the heart of Nardaran Beach, where charming small hotels and bungalows nestle close to the shoreline, just where the sea gently forms a quaint kink.
The sea here presents a unique charm, though it can appear somewhat muddy at times, particularly when currents carry water from the western reaches of the Absheron peninsula. The seabed descends rather swiftly, reaching significant depths just ten meters from the shore, offering an exciting adventure for swimmers and snorkelers alike.
