If you’ve decided to go visit the Pacific, you’ll definitely need the information below.

The place where your crazy fellow riders await for you is Zolotary bay. Pretty funny name, ah? Actually there is an official name of this place – Cozino bay (not casino though!), but this name is not that popular here. Zolotary is the one that you want to remember. It is about 200 km from Vladivostok, passed Nakhodka, and the place is very beautiful.

“The coordinates for your GPS - N42. 49.300 и E132. 47.995

File with the GPS rout from Vladivostok to the party place will be available for download here soon.

***Commercial starts here***

Navicom, Moscow based company, sponsored me with the navigation gadget named "Garmin GPS V" that can locate a point on the surface of our friendly planet through satellites up in the space. Also it creates the most efficient rout, stores information about passed portion of the rout, warns about upcoming turns, informs about gas stations, camp areas and has many more useful features that can make your life on the road easier (not recommended as a nutcracker though).
For those how are getting ready to start a trip and think of the reliable navigation system – here is Novicom’s number in Moscow: 916-27-44 and 917-90-71. Highly recommended!

Well, even if you don’t have this magic gadget, you can still use a good old paper map to get here ?

In any case, with the word of mouth you can get far! First you can ask locals – “Kak doyekhat’ do goroda Nakhodka?” (How do I get to Nakhodka city?). Once in Nakhodka, go right and start asking people “Kak doyekhat’ do Zolotarei?” (How do I get to Zolotary bay?). You will reach this very bay in 10 km after you leave Nakhodka city. Cannot miss the place ?

Here is our little bay!

A piece of advice.
If you are coming from the West part f our motherland, you don’t have to come to Vladivostok first, it’s easier to go straight to Nakhodka. If you are coming here from Khabarovsk side, than it will be better for you to take a left turn at Uglovaya towards Nakhodka. Although if you do have time and good will, come over to Vladivostok! We’ll be glad to see you here.

Another piece of advice…
Have a look at the map – see, there are two roads: red and green. The red one (along the seashore) will easily take to the party place, but the problem is that 10 km of this road are under construction – clouds of dust and hundreds of bumps there.
And on the green rout (turn left after Partizansk, passed Shkotovo) you will get:
1) a nice asphalted road
2) a great rolling hills landscapes along the way
3) a chance to tie your hanky on The Tree and make a wish that will definitely came true (they say that the spirit of Sikhote Alin comes out in this place)
4) to pass a proud little town named New Moscow (must be interesting not only for Moscow people though)

This green road is 30 km longer than the red one, but it’s worth it!

Anyway, it’s up to you how do you get to Nakhodka.
By the way, be very careful on the green road at its crossing with Partizanskaya river – the bridge is metal and gets very slippery at the wet weather. Obviously it was not a biker who built this bridge! ?

If you get to Vladivostok, look for this address right away: 117 Snegovaya Street, “Custom Club MS” (it’s a territory of 6th kilometer) – you are welcome here for a few days to rest. No charge, for free that is ?

Information for those who are not on wheels:
Take a bus to Nakhodka city, than find your way to Zolotary bay by hitch hiking or a cab.

Don’t forget to bring your camping tent!
And a can or two of your best domestic beer… ?
