Baklan

Baklan is a coastal cove on the northern shore of Peter the Great Gulf, where protected waters create small natural harbors. The waters here are relatively calm due to the surrounding geography and merge gradually with the broader sea.

The cove emerged as an important landmark during Russian maritime exploration of the Far East in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its sheltered position made it a natural stopping point for ships navigating these waters over time.

Local fishing communities near Baklan maintain traditional fishing methods passed down through generations of maritime experience.

This is a remote location that requires careful planning and awareness of sea conditions before visiting. The warmer months offer more favorable conditions for any journey to the area.

The protected position of the cove within Peter the Great Gulf creates conditions for diverse marine life observation throughout the year.
