Kinburn Peninsula

The Kinburn Peninsula (, "Kinburns'kii pivostriv"), a peninsula in Southern Ukraine, separates the Dnieper-Bug Estuary from the Black Sea. Administratively the peninsula is divided between two regions each represented by one rural community: Pokrovske (Mykolaiv Oblast) and Heroiske (Kherson Oblast).
The western tip of the peninsula extends into the Kinburn Foreland (spit).
To the south are located couple of islands, Dovhyi and Kruhlyi - both belong administratively to the Ochakiv Raion of Mykolaiv Oblast.
The Battle of Kinburn was fought on 17 October 1855 as part of the Crimean War.
