Canğul[a] is a coast and regional nature reserve (zakaznik) located on the Tarkhankut Peninsula in Crimea, a peninsula internationally recognised as part of Ukraine but occupied by Russia since 2014. It is part of the larger Charming Harbor National Nature Park.
Located on the Tarkhankut Peninsula, Canğul is known for its steep cliffs stretching up to 60 m (200 ft), several limestone formations, and frequent landslides. It is also noted for its white beaches and caves, many of which are only accessible by boat. In the law which established Canğul as a nature reserve, it was noted as an exhibition of erosion and their effects.[1]
Canğul also serves as a resting spot for 90 species of birds, which serve as the most significant factor of local fauna.[2] Other noteworthy species include wild rabbits. In terms of flora, the coast is dominated primarily by herbs and shrubbery, though a variety of flowers bloom during the spring.[1]
