Unique beach in Glass Bay
On the western shore of the Ussuri Bay there is another very interesting bay - Steklyannaya. And it bears this name for a reason. Several decades ago it was turned into a huge glass dump. Thousands of broken bottles of beer, wine, vodka and other alcoholic drinks covered almost the entire area of this tiny cove in a thick layer.
But nature, with this specific example of irresponsible human behavior, once again reminded the inhabitants of the Earth who is the rightful owner here. In just a couple of decades, the sea waves sharpened and polished the glass to the state of perfectly smooth pebbles.
Today, the Glass Bay beach sparkles in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow. And now you can walk on it barefoot, without any fear of cutting yourself on the sharp edges of the glass. After all, they are no longer here. No one! The sea elements eliminated absolutely all traces of human recklessness.
It is curious that today the so-called “Glass” beach is protected by the state as a valuable natural monument. Both locals and travelers from other countries regularly come here to relax and take a series of stunningly lively and vibrant photographs.

Who is a holiday on the Sea of Japan suitable for?
Relaxing on the shores of the Sea of Japan is quite exotic for most Russians. Getting here is not easy, so among other tourists you are likely to meet lovers of active recreation. From the point of view of tourism, Primorsky Krai is a poorly developed territory, but it has enormous potential. There are stunning landscapes, wild nature, a beautiful sea, and a variety of flora and fauna. But it is often difficult to get to local attractions - the infrastructure is not developed. It is also impossible not to note the high cost of local holidays. It is often more expensive to relax in the Primorsky Territory than at classic southern resorts.
However, all these difficulties do not stop those who are ready to discover the Far Eastern sea coast.
So where do tourists mostly go here?
