Baku Mayor Hajibala Abutalibov has signed an order on organization of summer holiday of Baku’s residents. Under the order, no entry fee will be charged for visiting coastal beaches of the capital city.

Abutalibov has tasked the heads of Executive Powers of Binagadi, Sabail, Khazar, Sabunchu, Surakhani and Garadagh districts of the capital to fulfill the order and create all necessary conditions for efficient relaxation of the population.

The Executive Powers have been instructed to make sure that the beach areas and coastal zones are in appropriate condition, and further keep the territories clean.

The entrance to the beaches and coastal area is free, and the Executive authorities of the capital’s districts have been entrusted to monitor compliance with this requirement.

Recently, the Ecology and Natural Resources Ministry examined the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea by setting 17 water-cleaning installations in the waters of Absheron peninsula. Almost all the Azerbaijani beaches were declared suitable for swimming. The Ministry assured that monitoring will be held systematically throughout the whole vacation season to ensure the safety and healthcare of visitors.

The most popular beaches of Azerbaijan are located in Mardakan, Shuvalan, Novkhani, Buzovna, Zagulba, Pirshagi, Nardaran, Turkan and Hovsan villages of the Absheron peninsula. All beaches are equipped with changing rooms, loungers, awnings, umbrellas to protect from the sun, warm-water showers, toilets, and drinking water supplies.
