It is located at the easternmost part of the Crimean Southern coast, before a shoreline transitions into the Kerch peninsula. It is also near the narrowest place in Crimea between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. At Prymorskyi, the shoreline curves, creating a bay-like feature between the Elijah Cape in Feodosia and the Salar Cape on the southern side of the Kerch peninsula.
History
In 1938, near the villages of Dalni Komyshi (Uzaq Qamış) and Hafuz, construction of a shipyard began, and a new populated place, Yuzhnaya Tochka (PO More Shipyard), was established for the shipyard builders.[2]
After World War II, in 1952, Hafuz and Yuzhnaya Tochka were merged into a single populated place, the urban-type settlement Prymorskyi.[2] Sometime before 1954, Dalni Komyshi was also merged into the newly formed place.[3] 45°07′00″N 35°28′50″E
