  • Nice place. Wide sandy beach, shallow water. The most popular public peaches with restaurants and clubs are there. Check also Takeoff surf/kite station (http://www.takeoff.spb.ru/). That is my lovely surfstation on the gulf :-). Special Respect to Alexey Chibisov, co-owner, manager and inspirer of the spot. Dr.Larry
