Located opposite the resort Skadovsk, on the one hand it is washed by the Dzharylgach Bay, on the other hand, by the open sea. The narrow strait from the side of the village of Lazurnoye is often covered with sand, turning the island of Dzharylgach into a peninsula.

Skadovsky, a 24-meter lighthouse was installed, made in Paris according to the project of one of G. Eiffel's students.
