Beaches and Water

Beaches and Water gathers guides to places in Russia where the shore, a lake or the sea is the main reason to go. The example on this page is Saraysky Beach, Lake Baikal, a stretch of shoreline on one of the best known lakes in the country. Use the page to choose an outing built around water, whether you want a quiet walk along the shore or a place to sit and take in the view. Each guide explains how to get there, what the setting is like and how to plan your time, so you can fit it into a longer route through Russia.
