The Winter Coast (Zimniy Bereg, Russian: Зимний Берег) is a coastal area in Arkhangelsk Oblast in northwest Russia.
Administratively, the Winter coast is shared between Primorsky and Mezensky Districts of Arkhangelsk Oblast.
The villages of Lapominka, Patrakeyevka, Kad, Kuya, Kozly, Veprevsky, Nizhnyaya Zolotitsa, Tova, Intsy, Ruchyi, Megra, Mayda, and Voronovsky are all located on the Winter Coast.
There are no all-season land routes to most of the villages, and the connections are either by sea (irregular), or by air from Arkhangelsk.
In order to visit the zone, a permit issued by the local FSB department is required.
