Shamora Bay (Lazurnaya Bay)
Бухта Шамора (Лазурная)
A sandy beach on the Ussuri Bay, the favourite summer swimming spot for Vladivostok residents, about 30 km from the city center.
Shamora Bay, officially known as Lazurnaya Bay, lies on the east coast of Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula, on Ussuri Bay. It has a sandy beach about 1.5 kilometres long, clear water and lush forest around it. In summer it is the liveliest beach in the city, with restaurants, barbecue stalls, jet skis and inflatable slides along the shore. It is very crowded on weekends and quieter on weekdays. You can reach it by bus or taxi in about 40-60 minutes, or take a commuter train to the Sanatornaya area and transfer. The water reaches 22-24°C in August. Protect yourself from the sun and keep an eye on your belongings.
