Lazurnaya Bay

It lies to the northeast of Vladivostok and to the southwest from the Three Little Pigs Bay.

The toponym was coined in the 1970s and translates from Russian as "the Azure Bay".

The older, traditional name is Shamora (Russian: Шамора) which supposedly translates from Chinese as "sandy desert".

The Shamora beach gave its name to a collection of old songs by the Vladivostok band Mumiy Troll.
