Eysk

Eysk, a city and resort of the North Caucasus region, located on the eastern shore of the Sea of Azov at an elevation of 18 meters above sea level, at the base of a spit extending into the sea. To the east, the city borders a liman, and to the south, a strip of fruit gardens and vineyards covering more than 200 hectares. The climate is moderately warm. Hot summers are moderated by the proximity of the sea and the large number of gardens. The average annual temperature is +10.8°C, with an average summer temperature of +21.7°C. Precipitation usually does not exceed 400 mm per year; the number of days with precipitation averages 108-110; cloudy days occur almost exclusively in autumn and winter. The temperature of the sea water in the liman ranges from +17.7°C in May to +28.1°C in July.

The narrow spit separating the sea from the liman forms a good sandy beach. The bottom of the sea and liman is sandy.
