You will see a lot of rocks created by Mother Nature. You will come out to the most important remnant, which got its name the Giant.

Cape Velikan is one of the most beautiful and amazing sea coasts of Sakhalin. Near the shore there are many remains in the form of arches and stone pillars, on which bird colonies are located.

Terraces, grottos and small caves are hidden in the coastal cliffs, and seals are often found on the beaches of Cape Giant. The bizarre giant surface superstructures impress with their outlines, and their names match – Giant, Fighter!

Screaming seagulls scurry on the tops of rocks and arches, cormorants sit proudly and swifts scurry. Spruce and fir forests stretch along a narrow strip of sandy beach on the sea terrace, where the fir trees diligently hide from the cold sea wind, turning their backs to the Sea of Okhotsk.

It's a remote place, but you can't always call it secluded. There are too many people who want to admire the local beauties! And even off-road driving doesn't scare anyone. The coast on the cape is steep and ends in a forest of almost mast pines. And then there are mountains covered with dense dark coniferous forests with a predominance of fir.

For those who have never been to the sea and were born in a flat area, it will seem very unusual. Some consider Cape Giant to be a "place of power."
