About
The Dzharylhach National Nature Park is a national park of Ukraine that covers Dzharylhach Island and the adjacent Karkinit Bay in the northern reaches of the Black Sea. Famous for clean sandy beaches and mineral springs in its many small lakes, Dzharylhach is the largest island in the Black Sea. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the region was occupied by Russians, who connected the island to the mainland, and then destroyed the national park.
