Beach near Aktau, Kazakhstan

Aktau Travel Guide

Kazakhstan

Aktau is a city of 147,443 people in western Kazakhstan, on the shore of the Caspian Sea. It is served by Aktau International Airport, making air travel the main straightforward option for reaching the city.

The nearby Caspian coastline is part of Aktau’s setting, but there are no named notable beaches within 40 kilometres of the city. Plan beach visits with that in mind rather than expecting a concentration of well-known sandy spots close by.
