Pier / Boardwalk · Tourist Spot
Sitting atop a steep seaside hill, The Lighthouse shines red light visible from a distance of up to 30 km (18.5 mi). This bulky black-and-gray structure features a simple octagonal shape that resembles a toy, making it one of the most popular lighthouses in the area. Snap a photo of the 21 m (69 ft) structure and take in the views of the open sea surrounding it. Since its creation in 1955, the lighthouse has become a favorite meeting spot for locals and tourists alike. Plan a trip to Anapa easily and quickly by telling Inspirock to suggest an itinerary.

    Nice quiet place, make sure to go down to the beach, thats the best part!
  • By ava angom
    A historic place. Near the promenade on which you can walk and relax. The waterfront offers a beautiful view of the sea. The embankment is located at a rather high altitude, on a cliff, over the sea. If desired, you can go down to the sea on special stairs-descent.
