My next adventure: Chișinău (Moldova) – September 2025

Day 3.5 (Sumqayit) – Caspian Sea Beach

Azerbaijani cuisine appears to be difficult to seek around the Candy Cane Mountains hence one ended up in the country’s second largest city, Sumqayit. In contrast to Baku, the shores of the Caspian Sea are full of beaches and restaurants, much like your average seaside city.

The only thing that separates this beach to the likes of Benidorm is that one is able to drive a vehicle straight onto the sand from the main road. Of course, one can drive as close to the waters edge as they wish (at their own peril!). This makes it perfect for individuals who are unable to walk long distances and wheelchair users (if the thing can withstand beaches)…

Unfortunately, no sign of beach wheelchairs, perhaps in the future.
