Вулканічна скеля над морем (120 метрів), що носить античну назву Іфігенія, є символом селища Берегове (Кастрополь).
З нею пов'язаний міф про Іфігенію, дочку еллінського царя Агамемнона, учасника Троянської війни. Іфігенія була жрицею богині Артеміди в Тавриді, і, за переказами, приносила в жертву мореплавців, що випадково опинилися тут, скидаючи їх у море зі скелі (цей сюжет використаний у класичній трагедії Євріпіда "Іфігенія в Тавриді").
Завдяки стародавньому віку та мальовничому вигляду скеля оголошена пам'яткою природи та знаходиться під охороною держави.
