enjoy Lankaran'sblack-sand beaches
Lankaran is situated on the coast of the Caspian Sea and thus boasts several beaches both to the north and south of the city. These beaches are quite unusual: locals claim that the black volcanic sand has therapeutic properties, and the water the clearest along Azerbaijan’s Caspian coastline. Here, you can enjoy swimming in the calm waters of the Caspian Sea or sip a cold beer as the sun sets, casting glorious golden rays across Lankaran. Note that the beaches in Lankaran are segregated with different sections for men, women, and families. As of 2023, entrance costs just 2 manats (approximately $1.18).
