Maksimikha Beach
Максимиха
A village with a long sandy beach on the southern shore of Barguzin Bay, where pine forest backs fine sand and it is a popular summer lake retreat for Buryats.
Maksimikha lies on the shore of Barguzin Bay about 30 km south of Ust-Barguzin. Along this stretch of the lake are more than ten kilometers of fine sandy beach backed by pine forest. The bay is shallow, and in summer the water is warmer than in the main lake, making this one of the most popular lakeside resorts on the eastern shore. The village has many wooden guesthouses and campsites, and it is lively on summer weekends. On clear days you can see the Svyatoy Nos Peninsula across the bay. The drive from Ulan-Ude takes about 4 hours, and you can stop at other sandy beach villages along the way.
