Shikhov Beach is a well-loved sandy stretch along the Caspian Sea, located about 30 kilometers south of Baku. It offers a classic seaside escape with clear waters and a range of amenities including resorts, cafes, and water sports facilities. Visitors can swim, jet ski, or simply relax on the sand. The beach is particularly busy on weekends and during summer, with a lively atmosphere. The backdrop of the Caspian Sea and distant oil platforms adds a unique touch.
