The best time to visit Cape Akhlestyshev

The best season to visit is summer and early autumn, from June to September. During this period, the water in the bay warms up well, which makes the beach an ideal place for swimming. The most beautiful photos here are obtained at dawn or at sunset, when the sun is reflected in the water, creating a unique play of light.

In autumn, the cape acquires a special charm: there are fewer tourists, and nature is painted in bright colors. This time is ideal for walking along the coast and excursions around the island.
