Cape Tobizina
Мыс Тобизина
A narrow cliff headland jutting into the sea at the southern tip of Russky Island, where turquoise water and sheer rock walls make it one of the most popular spots for photos on social media.
Cape Tobizina lies in the southeast of Russky Island. It is a narrow headland about 2 kilometres long, with vertical rock walls on either side and clear water. On sunny days the sea turns blue-green, and from the end of the cliff you can see small islands offshore. From the parking area, it takes about 30-40 minutes to walk along a dirt road and rock ridge to the far tip. The path is uneven, has no railings, and stays close to steep drops, so keep well away from the edge in strong wind. The path gets slippery after rain. Transport on the island is inconvenient, so it is best to hire a car or join a Russky Island day tour, combined with the Voroshilov Battery, Far Eastern Federal University and the Oceanarium. There are few supplies on the cape, so bring your own drinking water.
