An excerpt characterizing the Ussuri Bay

Deep in Russian lands two bays jut out Sea of ​​Japan. One of them is the Amur, and the second is the Ussuri Bay. Vladivostok is located just between them, on the outskirts of the long and wooded Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula. In this article, we will introduce you to the Ussuri Bay and its many bays.

Ussuri Bay: photo and brief geographical description

Cold, harsh, uninhabited, but incredibly beautiful - this is exactly what Ussuri Bay looks like, located on Far East Russia. Nevertheless, on its shores there are several dozen hotels, recreation centers and beaches where you can relax and sunbathe in the summer. Where is Ussuri Bay located? And what are its dimensions?

The Ussuriysky Gulf is located within Russia. It washes the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula from the east, on which the city of Vladivostok is located. In comparison with its "brother" - the Amur Bay, it is much wider, deeper and ... colder. In winter, the northern waters of the bay, as a rule, freeze. Although the thickness of the ice cover is small.

The Ussuriysky Bay has the following parameters:

• length - 67 km;
• width (maximum) - 55 km;
• depth (maximum) - 69 meters;
• total area - 1155 sq. km;
• coastline length - 243 km.

Recreational and tourist potential of the Ussuri Bay

Ussuriysky Bay has a certain recreational and tourist potential. On its banks there are dozens of campsites, hotels and recreation centers where you can stay either in comfortable rooms or in wooden summer houses. The cost of a standard room for two here starts from 600 rubles per day.

The beaches and on the banks of the Ussuri Bay are quite popular among the residents of Vladivostok, primarily due to clean sea and beautiful wild landscapes. Besides local forests attract tourists with an abundance of edible mushrooms and berries. Passive beach holiday can be successfully combined with active hikes and forest walks.

There are a number of settlements on the coast of the Ussuri Bay. The largest of them, of course, is the city of Vladivostok - the main financial and Cultural Center throughout the Far East. In addition to it, on the shores of the bay is the city of Bolshoy Kamen, town. Shkotovo, two villages (Emar and Mysovoy) and three villages (Deer, Rechitsa and Sukhodol).

But the village of Shkotovo can be attractive for tourists. In its vicinity there is a unique safari park where bears, eagle owls, owls, deer, Amur tigers and other animals live. The pride and highlight of the park is the Far Eastern leopard, brought here from the Czech Republic in 2016.

Lazurnaya Bay - beaches and music

On the western coast of the bay there is an elongated 3-kilometer bay with the poetic name Lazurnaya (the former name was Shamora). It is known for its beaches, disco bars, cafes and attractions.

Unique beach in Glass Bay

On west bank Ussuri Bay is another very interesting bay- Glass. And this name is by no means accidental. A few decades ago, it was turned into a huge glass container dump. Thousands of broken bottles of beer, wine, vodka and other alcoholic beverages covered almost the entire area of ​​this tiny cove in a thick layer.

But nature is on it specific example irresponsible human behavior once again reminded the inhabitants of the Earth who is the rightful owner here. In just a couple of decades sea ​​waves the glass was ground and polished to the state of perfectly smooth pebbles.

Beach today glass bay shines in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow. And now you can walk on it barefoot, not at all afraid to cut yourself on the sharp edges of the glass. After all, they are no longer here. No one! The sea element has eliminated absolutely all traces of human recklessness.

It is curious that today the so-called "Steklyashka" beach is protected by the state as a valuable natural monument. They come here regularly locals, and travelers from other countries to relax and take a series of stunningly vivid and vivid photographs.
