It makes this sea to be the shallowest in the World!!! There are not many resorts here, as on the Crimean Black sea coast. Most of beaches are sandy, it's rather windy here. Azov sea coast of Crimean peninsula - is an unspoiled Nature. During winter it happens sometimes, that shallow sea is frozen, but already in May the water temperature is enough warm to start a swimming season.
