General information about Sanzhiika

The seaside village of Sanzhiika is located 10 kilometers south of Chornomorsk, on the shores of the Black Sea. The coast is steep, the beaches are narrow and sandy (collapses occur).

The year 1792 is considered to be the founding date of the village of Sanzhiika, when a small military settlement of Sanzhak with a watchtower that served as a lighthouse was founded on this site. In 1956, a modern building of the Sanzhiika Lighthouse was built.

There are no sanatoriums and boarding houses in Sanzhiika, apart from two small recreation centers. Accommodation services are mainly provided by the private sector.

Приморське село Санжійка розташоване в 10 кілометрах на південь від Чорноморська, на березі Чорного моря. Берег стрімкий, пляжі вузькі піщані (трапляються обвали).

Датою заснування села Санжійка вважається 1792 рік, коли на цьому місці було засновано невелике військове поселення Санджак зі сторожовою вежею, яка виконувала функції маяка. В 1956 році було побудовано сучасну будівлю Санжійського маяка.

Санаторіїв і пансіонатів в Санжійці немає, не рахуючи двох невеликих баз відпочинку. Послуги розміщення в основному надає приватний сектор.

Sanzhiika Lighthouse

Architecture

The Sanzhiika lighthouse is sometimes called the "runaway lighthouse".

In this area of the Black Sea, there are two underwater currents coming from the Bosphorus and Kerch, which poses a danger to passing ships. In 1792-1793, a decision was made to erect a watchtower here and appoint a garrison for duty. To warn ships of danger, sea flags were hung on the tower, and at night - signal lanterns, which became the prototype of a lighthouse.

In 1921, the capital building of the lighthouse was built, of which only a plaque remains today. In 1956, the current building of the Sanzhiika lighthouse was built. But since the sea was approaching the lighthouse tower about a meter a year due to the collapse of the coast, in 2010, without waiting for a critical situation, the lighthouse was moved 80 meters further from the shore.
