What to Expect
Baku Bay is a natural harbor of the Baku port and local yacht club on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula and on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. It has an area of 50 km² and a coastline of 20 km.
The bay is bordered by Sultan Cape in the east, Shikh Cape on the south-west and the islands of Qum, Dash Zira and Boyuk Zira in the south and south-east. These islands are part of the Baku Archipelago which lies mostly within the bay. These characteristics make it an ideal place for a harbor. During severe storms with high winds, the height of the waves in the bay can reach 1–5 m.
There lies Baku Boulevard on the seashore. Here, visitors can explore the unique Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, enjoy the concert at International Mugham Center of Azerbaijan or enjoy the family time, while riding on bicycle, scooter or amusement attractions. For art enthusiast, YARAT Contemporary Art Centre will be an excellent choice, considering the variety of art exhibitions.
