Yasensk Bay

Yasensk Bay lies on the eastern shore of the Sea of Azov, beside the Yasensk Spit. This low ridge of sand and shells separates the bay from the shallow Beisug lagoon, into which rivers flow from the steppe. Reeds and sedges grow around the river mouths, and the warm, shallow water supports fish and water birds. Narrow openings allow water to pass between the lagoon and the sea.
