About Lisy Island

A small coastal island in Primorsky Krai, Russia, located off the mainland in the Sea of Japan near Vladivostok. It is one of several locally named islets clustered along this section of the Russian Pacific coast.

A quiet, little-visited shoreline with rocky coast and marine birdlife rather than developed facilities. Access is typically by private boat from nearby ports and landing is limited.

Administratively part of Primorsky Krai; the island has no widely documented built heritage or long-term settlement history in public sources.

Sits off the southeastern Russian mainland near Vladivostok in the Sea of Japan, within the maritime waters of Primorsky Krai.

  • Name meaning: The name translates as “Fox Island” in Russian and the island is one of many small coastal isles in Primorsky Krai.
