Beach description
The length of the beach is about five kilometers. The width of the beach edge in some places is from twenty to seventy meters. Sometimes there are small pieces of greenery, which are quite close to the sea. The sand is coarse, closer to the east it turns into small and medium shingle of light ashen color. Shingle is composed of coarse sandstone and shell rock. From the western part, the beach consists of large stones. Most small hotels and bungalows are located in the central part of the coast, where the sea forms a kinkle.
The sea is somewhat muddy, especially if the current brings water from the western part of the Absheron peninsula. The bottom goes relatively quickly, the depth along the coast becomes significant already at a distance of ten meters.
When is the best time to go?
The most favorable time for a trip to Azerbaijan is May-June, when the temperature on the beaches has a comfortable rest. If you can withstand high temperatures when the thermometer does not drop below 30 degrees, then July and August are also suitable for a trip.
