to review Nature Park includes the island Moneron, located in the waters of the Tatar Strait, 50 kilometers west of the southern tip of Sakhalin (length from north to south is about 7 kilometers, and from west to east - about 4 kilometers). A secluded sea zone two miles wide is formed around the island.

Moneron Island is often called mysterious. And not without reason. The area of ​​the island is about 30 square kilometers, so it is barely visible on the maps. However, here there is a whole world: two small rivers, numerous waterfalls, emerald hills, columnar rocks, rock grottoes with colored walls. Calling the island beautiful - nothing to say.

The great seafarer Jean-Francois de La Perouse, during his round-the-world voyage in 1787, gave his name not only to the strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido.

The uniqueness of the island - a combination of mountain scenery, alpine meadows and rocky canyons.. A great variety of natural landscapes of the marine area adjacent to the island. On its territory there are exits basalt, as well as inclusions of agate and jasper at the pebble beach

High transparency of water, up to 30 -. 40 meters, the warm effect cause the existence of rare species of underwater fauna. Coastal reef islands are located rookeries of marine mammals, sea lions, spotted seal, especially numerous during the spring and autumn migrations.
