Once the mouth of the Velykyi Kuyalnyk River, the area gradually turned into a bay of the Black Sea. But nature had other plans: over time, sea and river sands formed a spit that cut off the bay from the sea, turning it into a salty estuary.
Today, Kuyalnyk Estuary is renowned not only for its rich history but also for its healing muds, which attract tourists and those seeking natural wellness. It's a place where you can enjoy scenic landscapes, touch the layers of geological history, and feel the power of nature firsthand.
