Cape Povorotny at a Glance

About Cape Povorotny

Cape Povorotny is a rocky headland on the Sea of Japan coast in Russia’s Primorsky Krai. The feature forms part of the region’s jagged maritime shoreline.

The cape offers coastal scenery typical of the Primorsky coast - rocky shorelines and maritime views - rather than developed visitor amenities. It is a geographic reference point for local navigation and coastal ecology.

There is no widely recorded long history of large-scale habitation or major construction on the cape; its significance is primarily geographic.

The headland lies on the Russian Far East coast of Primorsky Krai, on the Sea of Japan, roughly east of the regional centre of Vladivostok.
