Solona Bay

Solona Bay lies in the northern section of Double Bay and forms part of Sevastopol's larger bay system along the Black Sea coast. Its waters extend along multiple shorelines where piers and mooring facilities serve maritime operations and vessel traffic.

The bay witnessed military activity during World War II when German forces attacked Sevastopol's harbor system between 1941 and 1942. Its strategic importance for the city's defense shaped the area's history across multiple decades.

The name Solona comes from seafaring traditions and refers to the salty waters typical of this coastal region. Today, the bay remains integral to local maritime life, where fishing boats and commercial vessels move through its waters as part of daily harbor activity.

The bay offers protected waters suitable for anchorage and is accessible to visitors from the waterfront paths that line its shores. Conditions are most favorable during calmer months when sea conditions remain more stable.

The bay is part of an intricate network of connected waterways that together form a natural harbor complex of significant scale. This geographic arrangement made the location strategically valuable throughout its maritime history.
