 Water distance from Listvyanka Settlement to Peschanaya Bay is about 80 km, motorboat voyage time is 5 hours.
Peschanaya Bay is one of the most famous, interesting and beautiful places around Lake Baikal. The creator of Lake Baikal seemed to feel inspiration in that place and try to shape very beautiful rocks, mountain slopes and the bay oval beach which he placed on a small area of Lake Baikal.
Peschanaya Bay is the sole place on the lake where one can see miraculous "walking-on-stilts" trees, a real wonder of Baikal. The trees have risen above the earth on their stilt-like roots, from under which water and winds blow out the soil. Climate of Peschanaya Bay is mild and the bay is famous for plenty of sunny days. It is the only place in Eastern Siberia, where the average annual temperature is above-zero
