Embankment on Cape Akhlestyshev

Akhlestyshev Embankment on the Russian Island of Vladivostok
The embankment on Cape Akhlestyshev is a modern walking area located along one of the best beaches of the Russian Island. It is equipped with wooden decking, sun loungers, changing rooms and sports grounds, which makes this place comfortable for relaxation at any time of the year.
Along the embankment, art objects are installed, among which the wooden sculpture “Vlad Fox” – the unofficial symbol of Russky Island – stands out. Due to the mild climate, the swimming season here lasts until the beginning of October, and in spring you can see the unique flowering of Amur poppies.
The best time to visit the embankment on Cape Akhlestyshev
The best time to visit is summer and early autumn, when the water in the lagoon is warmest, and the beach comes to life thanks to tourists and active rest. At this time, you can not only swim, but also surf, rent a kayak or SUP board, as well as just enjoy walking along the wooden flooring along the coast.
In winter, this place attracts lovers of secluded walks, when the beach becomes deserted, and the seascape is especially harsh and fascinating.
