Cape Ostrovnoy

Cape Ostrovnoy projects into the Sea of Japan east of the great bays of southern Primorye. Rocky headlands and small inlets interrupt a coast backed by the forested hills of the Sikhote-Alin. To the west the shore turns towards the islands and sheltered waters of the great gulf; to the northeast it continues along the mountainous mainland. The cape marks a point of land between open water and the smaller bays along this shore.
