Lankaran Caspian Beach
Lənkəran çimərliyi
A Caspian beach south of the city with dark, fine sand and warm water, where local families come to swim and cool off in summer.
Lankaran lies on the southwest shore of the Caspian Sea, with long beaches on both the north and south sides of the city. The sand is dark and fine, formed from volcanic minerals, which locals believe has health benefits. In summer the sea is warm and calm, making it good for family paddling. Along the beach you will find basic changing rooms, teahouses and barbecue stalls, and some seaside hotels have been built nearby. Facilities are fairly simple overall and far less developed than the resorts around Baku, so the beach suits travellers who want to enjoy the Caspian coast alongside sightseeing in the city.
