There are no noisy nightclubs or discos, but there is a child-friendly entry into the sea—the depth increases gradually.

"It's a very unusual name—For the Motherland. That's how you hear it on the bus: 'I need to get to the Motherland. How much is the fare?' or 'I need to go to the Motherland', 'Are you going to the Motherland?'"
This the story began In 1947, people had been settling here since the mid-2nd century BC. In the post-war period, due to a labor shortage, the Soviet government invited citizens who had resettled abroad to return to their homeland. Thus, 444 people arrived here—their ancestors had migrated to Romania due to Nikon's church reforms. Initially, they were resettled in the homes of residents of the Akhtanizovskaya village. A little later, the Temryuk District Architecture Department developed a plan for the development of a new settlement near the Sinyaya Balka tract. The families of the new arrivals were fishermen, and they decided to create a fishing collective farm called "For the Motherland." This gave the settlement its name.
