Cape Velikan is a natural landmark, and probably the most impressive place on the Sakhalin coast.
Along the coast from Cape Ptichiy (Birds Cape) to Cape Velikan (Giant), there are many grottoes, caves, arches and pillars of various sizes and bizarre shapes created by wind and sea waves and standing directly into the sea.

THE NAME OF THE CAPE WAS GIVEN BY THE GREAT NAVIGATOR IVAN KRUZENSHTERN.
Cape Velikan has the status of a specially protected natural monument since 1990.
Colonies of seabirds live here, and the coast itself abounds with rare flora and fauna. The location while not so close, is very picturesque, and is very popular with Sakhalin residents and guests of the island at any time of the year.
