The small village of Pokrovka is located on the southern (sea) shore of the Kinburn spit, next to its protected part. The spit itself separates the Dnipro-Buzka estuary from the Yagorlytsk Bay of the Black Sea. The Kinburn Fortress was built not far from here in the 15th century, fortified after the beginning of the Russian-Turkish war according to the plans of Alexander Suvorov. In 1787, Suvorov's troops defeated a Turkish squadron here and destroyed a janissary landing, thanks to which the Russians later managed to capture Ochakiv. The remains of the fortress were preserved to the west of the neighboring village of Pokrovske.

The small village of Pokrovka is located on the southern (sea) shore of the Kinburn spit, next to its protected part.

The remains of the fortress were preserved to the west of the neighboring village of Pokrovske.
Now Pokrovka is the main resort center of Kinburn. It is quite difficult to get to it by land from the side of Golaya Prystan, since the dirt roads on the spit are impassable. Tourists are taken by boat from Ochakiv to Pokrovka, and then by off-road vehicles to Pokrovka.
Маленьке село Покровка знаходиться на південному (морському) березі Кінбурнської коси, поруч з її заповідної частиною. Сама коса відокремлює Дніпровсько-Бузький лиман від Ягорлицької затоки Чорного моря. Фортеця Кінбурн була побудована неподалік звідси в XV cтолітті, укріплена після початку російсько-турецької війни за планами Олександра Суворова. В 1787 році війська Суворова розгромили тут турецьку ескадру й знищили десант яничар, завдяки чому росіянам пізніше вдалося захопити Очаків. Залишки фортеці збереглися на захід від сусіднього села Покровське.
Зараз Покровка - головний курортний центр Кінбурна. Дістатися до неї по суші з боку Голої Пристані досить важко, оскільки грунтові дороги на косі важкопрохідні. Туристів достав ...

Kinburn Spit
Natural object , Reserve
The Kinburn Spit is the western edge of the Kinburn Peninsula, which separates the Dnipro estuary from the Black Sea. The length of the spit is about 40 kilometers, the width is 8-10 kilometers.
Described by Herodotus as Hileya (forested land), later the route "from the Varangians to the Greeks" passed here. Many myths and legends are associated with the spit: about the temple of Demeter, about the sacred grove of Hecate, about Scythian gold and about athletic games in honor of Achilles' victory in the sea battle, after which the Greeks nicknamed the spit Achilles' Run (according to another version, it is the island of Dzharylhach) .
In the 15th-18th centuries, there was a Turkish fortress of Kinburn here, opposite Ochakiv, in the area of which Oleksandr Suvorov defeated a large Turkish landing force in 1787 (the ramparts of the fortress have been preserved, a memorial has been opened).
In 1790, between Ochakiv and the Kinburn spit in the middle of the estuary, an artificial Maiskyi island was built with a block fort that controlled the entrance of ships to the estuary (still under the control of the military).
In 1992, the regional landscape park "Kinburn Spit" was created on the spit, which is part of the Black Sea Nature Reserve. About 60 species of animals listed in the Red Book of Ukraine have been recorded on the territory. About 240 species of birds nest here: swans, pink pelicans, geese, pheasants, herons, white-tailed eagles and others.
Kinburn spit attracts tourists with empty and clean beaches.
Excursions to historical and protected places are organized by the administration of the National Nature Park "Ivory Coast of Sviatoslav" (Biloberezhzhya Svyatoslava).
Russian-Ukrainian war
During the Russian-Ukrainian war, in March 2022, Russian troops occupied the spit to block traffic from the ports of Kherson and Mykolaiv, and shelled Ochakiv. During the counteroffensive of the armed forces of Ukraine in November 2022, the Kinburn spit remained the only Russian-occupied part of the Mykolaiv region.
