A 1.5 hour walk north of Arcadia, 45 minutes north of Otrada beach (below) and the cable cars, and just East of Shevchenko Park (Парк Шевченко)

Lanzjeron Beach is much quieter than Arcadia and the closest beach to the city center.
It is more than a kilometer long and 40 meters wide.

A large yellow shell rock marks the border between the Lanzjeron and Otrada beaches.

Delfin Beach
South of the Yacht Club, this beach is one kilometer long, up to fifty meters wide, and was founded in 1968.

Chkalovsky Nudist Beach (Плаж Чкаловский)
Located south of Delfin beach and north of Arcadia.
The beach is below the Chkalova (Чкалова) Sanatorium, Frantsuzsky Blvd. 85 (Французский Бульвар) and the botanical gardens

Simply ask other pedestrians for " Chkalovsky Plazj".

In 1815 he became governor of Novarussia. Exports continue to grow under his rule, to 40 million rubles in 1817. Lanzjeron opened the Richelieu institute. The institute was only for the elite, only the children of merchants and Greek-immigrants could enroll. During Lanzjeron's tenure, the construction of the Botanical Gardens and Primorsky Boulevard began

The most far reaching legislation in Lanzjeron's term was that the port of Odessa was pronounced a free port in 1819, a port that allowed the selling and storing of imported goods with no customs duties. (for more on the free port see history)

Lanzjeron built a summerhouse at the seashore, with today's Lanzjeron archway at the entrance. This is how today's Lanzjeron Beach got its name.

Lanzjeron left Odessa in the summer of 1822.
