Alekhina Bay Beach

Remote Pacific-side bay beach with strong discovery value and clear separation from western Kunashir settlements.

7.0

Alekhina South Beach

Quiet southern continuation of Alekhina Bay’s coast, likely missed by generic beach datasets.

Alekhino Beach

Likely missed because it lacks strong tourism branding despite being a distinct coastal beach.

Cape Dokuchaev Beach

Rugged eastern cape beach with volcanic scenery and low mainstream tourism visibility.

Cape Rogachev Beach

Remote northern-Pacific coast beach with strong volcanic island scenery and expedition-style access.

Cape Stolbchaty Beach

Kunashir’s most iconic volcanic-column coastal site and a must-have beach landscape for the island.

Cape Stolbchaty Coast Beach

The strongest must-have coastal site in the Southern Kurils because it is visually iconic and highly distinctive.

Cape Stolbchaty Cove Beach

Small cove near the columnar-cliff coast, useful as a distinct scenic shoreline without duplicating the main cape beach.

Cape Veslovsky Beach

Long remote beach near Kunashir’s southern spit, important for wild coastal scenery and island-end geography.

Kunashir Eastern Surf Beach

Exposed Pacific beach stretch with surf energy and remote coastal character.

Kunashir Western Cove Beach

Small west-facing cove beach on Kunashir, likely missed by generic datasets but useful for local coastal discovery.

Lovtsova Bay Beach

Sheltered Pacific-side bay beach useful for capturing Kunashir’s less accessible eastern coves.

Lovtsova North Cove Beach

Lesser-known cove north of Lovtsova Bay, useful for remote Pacific-side discovery.

Pacific Kunashir Black Sand Beach

Open Pacific-facing black-sand shoreline representing Kunashir’s wilder eastern beach character.

Tyatya East Beach

Remote volcanic shoreline east of Tyatya, valuable for expedition and wild-coast coverage.

Tyatya Volcano Coast Beach

Dramatic northeastern Kunashir beach landscape backed by Tyatya Volcano, giving the Pacific coast strong visual identity.

Veslovsky South Beach

Southern sandy beach stretch near Kunashir’s spit tip, distinct from the main Cape Veslovsky entry.

Veslovsky Spit Beach

Long sandy spit beach on southern Kunashir, distinct from the Cape Veslovsky landmark beach.
