Kamchatka: Avachinskaya Bay

Bay "Avachinskaya Bay" is one of the largest bays on the planet.
Being a transport gate of the Kamchatka Territory, it is ready not only to accept ships of any size, but also to please tourists with its sights.

With the "lip" it's simple. This is the name of the bays into which the rivers flow from the mainland, like here Avacha and Paratunka.
Of course, the main port of the bay is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
On the horizon, the Koryak hill is formidably rising.

The bay area is over 215 km, but there are unusual places on such a huge area.
We move to the first.
Look at the finger protruding from the water.

"F..ing finger"
Once upon a time, such kekur stones aroused respect and fear among the ancient seafarers, who considered them to be a supernatural force.
And who knows, maybe here once stood a statue of an ancient sea god ..

From a distance the finger is quite small, but near it it turns out to be an indecent kind of a mahin with a height of 6-7 meters.

While in the bay calmly, you can get around the pebble.
They say that this is one of the favorite places for visitors to Kamchatka..

Impregnated with salt and wind textures, which you want to constantly touch.

Beauty!
By the way, kekur is also called "Watchmaker". There's something about it...

We round Cape Uglova, more likely resembling an aggressively tuned bull.
And what a nice beach on the left!

Guys sipping fish.
I can not call them poachers. The fishing boats are too small.
However, they can be right here to buy everything fresh and inexpensive.

We rush to the next giant.
Grandmother's Stone.

The pebble is cut at an angle from above.
I do not know where my grandmother is.
Perhaps the whole thing is in an unimaginable number of birds, as well as fish and all kinds of sea urchins in this place.
All are full and happy. Like my grandmother.

The lighthouse on the next promontory hints that we are outside the bay.

Ahead is the Pacific Ocean ...

The banks here seem steeper, more dangerous and higher.

Although here there is a moment of humor.
Starichkov Island.
I do not exclude that there lived those who visited the stone to the grandmother.

The protruding shreds of land are densely littered with sea birds - chunks, gulls, cormorants.
On the island can permanently live up to 30 thousand individuals of different birds.
This whole thing is very noisy and smelling.

Well, the next protruding, sorry, kekur.
This time "Guard." Also picturesque.

We return to the bay in the evening.
On the horizon are hiding military radar Vilyuchinsk, and fishing trawlers on the contrary, do not hesitate.

I know that this is hard work, and yet I feel some romance in this work.

Well, the main attraction of the bay is the cliffs of Three Brothers.

Koryak legend says that three handsome-brothers blocked their bodies fishing villages on the coast from a sudden tsunami.
Yes, and turned forever in stone defenders.
Now the rocks are declared a monument of nature.

They did not come near, because it's windy and uneasy.
The size of the brothers is also impressive.

Leaving the bay and returning to his native port, Three brothers are always in sight of the sailors.
Therefore, they are loved by the locals, considering them a symbol of both bays and cities.

At sunset here is magical.
If you are lucky with the weather, then the feeling of incredible expanses and the sleeping power of the mountains and the ocean will last a lifetime.
Every surge of the wave and every peak on the horizon, highlighted by the setting sun, wants to be remembered, because it will not be possible to repeat such a walk soon.

And ahead of the ugly Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
But how much all around!

And I'm still not talking about going to volcanoes!
Do not switch)
