Karantynna Bay, Natural cove in Sevastopol, Ukraine
Karantynna Bay is a protected cove along Sevastopol's coast with sandy shores and calm waters. The bay stretches for several kilometers along the coastline, offering space for swimming and walking.
The bay was established in the 18th century as a quarantine station where ships underwent health checks before entering the port. Naval combat operations occurred in its waters during World War II.
The name originates from its past use as a quarantine station, reflecting the bay's maritime heritage. Today visitors can observe fishing boats operating in the shallow waters.
The bay is accessible throughout the year with several entry points along its shore. Parking areas near the beaches make it easy for visitors with vehicles to find spots.
The bay's waters conceal remnants from wartime, including military vessel wrecks that sank during combat operations. These submerged relics stand as silent witnesses to the conflict.
