Beach near Atyrau, Kazakhstan

Atyrau Travel Guide

Kazakhstan

Atyrau is a city of about 180,000 people in western Kazakhstan, on the Ural River near the northern Caspian Sea. It is a practical base for exploring this part of the country rather than a conventional beach destination.

Most visitors arrive at Atyrau Airport (GUW), the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so plan coastal sightseeing around the wider Caspian region rather than the immediate area.
