Blagoveshchenskaya: Lagoon, Spit and Kitesurfing

Bugaz Spit shapes the coastal character of Blagoveshchenskaya; kitesurfing, diving and windsurfing give the place an additional, clear connection to the water. This makes it possible to plan a trip around different interests, from scenery to active days. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide which of these priorities you want your stay to focus on.

Bugaz Spit: a narrow strip of coast between two bodies of water

The spit stretches between the Kiziltash Lagoon and the Black Sea, from the stanitsa of Blagoveshchenskaya to the settlement of Veselovka. It is almost 13 kilometres long and about 300 metres wide. The ratio of length to width makes the shape of this coastal strip particularly striking: land, lagoon and sea together define the landscape here. The Bugaz Spit area has been part of the protected zone of the «Blagoveshchenskaya kosa» protected area since 1995.

Kitesurfing, diving and windsurfing

The Russian Wind school offers kitesurfing lessons in a shallow lagoon in the stanitsa of Blagoveshchenskaya. Its 2026 teaching season begins in May and runs until the end of October. For anyone who wants to include lessons in their travel plans, this provides a specific seasonal reference point.

Kosa Golen'kaya is a kitesurfing spot where you can ride and practise on a shallow, wave-free lagoon. Conditions and access rules may change; check them before visiting. Diving and windsurfing are also available at Bugaz Spit. The annual international BeeKiteCamp kitesurfing festival for amateurs and professionals takes place above the spit. If the festival is important to your travel dates, check the dates for the specific edition.

Another local attraction: the Ethnopark

The «U Lukomorya» Ethnopark has a children's area and an artificial pond. For families gathering ideas for different kinds of outings, these are two specific options alongside coastal scenery and water sports. You can take these local attractions into account when planning your trip, without making waterside activities the sole focus of your stay.

Krasnodar Krai: nature and culture on a broader scale

In the wider destination of Krasnodar Krai, the «Azovskie kosy» Nature Park offers another perspective on coastal landscapes. There, sea waves and currents shape spits and islands from sand and shells, creating varied outlines. The park is home year-round to colonies of various gull, tern and cormorant species. They occur on shallow waters near the coast, at the ends of the spits and on sand islands; their presence varies by season.

The «Vinnye dorogi Krasnodarskogo kraya» route also offers insight into regional history: it spans the period from antiquity to the present day and explores the more than 2,500-year history of viticulture and winemaking in Krasnodar Krai. Interactive exhibitions and installations bring these themes to life. The route passes through Anapa, Taman, Golubitskaya, Sennoy, Moldavanskoye, Novorossiysk, Abrau-Dyurso, Fedotovka and Gelendzhik. Check the current operating status and route before planning a visit. The large «Chernomorskaya vinnaya nedelya» enogastronomic festival is also held annually in Krasnodar Krai; when planning, it is advisable to check the dates for the edition you wish to attend.
