Shamora or Lazurnaya Bay is one of the popular and all time famous recreation places of the Ussury Gulf shore. No wonder the Mumiy Troll band lead singer Ilya Lagutenko named one of his albums Shamora. The length of the sand beach is 3 km, and the bay’s depth is 4-7 m. There are two capes here, Krutoy in the North and Zelyoniy in the South. It is practically a go-to beach for Vladivostok residents, as it is only 30 km away from the city.

“To Shamora!” say the t-shirt prints that depict a relaxed individual lying in a lounge with a cocktail in his hand. You can buy these t-shirts right here, on the long shore alley spotted with! cafes, restaurants, ice-cream 1 kiosks and souvenirs stand. Open-air dance parties and music festivals are often held here. A bit farther, right after a strip of yellow sand there is the sea, calling you. What a peaceful picture! By the way, the beach sea-, son in Primorye starts late, as it can be cold in evenings even in the middle of june. For this reason, nearly every cafe here has small wind- and weatherproof cabins with a table, chairs and a window overlooking the sea. Some of them even have heating or air conditioners. The waiters will bring your order directly to your cabin, so you can hide from the cold weather and prying eyes and enjoy the company of your friends, food and a view of the sea. The locals note, that lately there has been more and more people in Shamora and other popular tourist places of Primorye partially because people from the whole region or Khabarovsky Kray come here. Such a strong tourist flow gives a strong impetus to the further development of recreation areas in the region.
