Welcome to Zatoka!
The village of Zatoka (Odessa region) is small but cozy, well-groomed, with well-developed infrastructure. The status of "urban type settlement" was granted to him for a long time. And quite rightly. The settlement's location is Belgorod-Dnistrovsky district, between the Black Sea and the Dnister Estuary. From Carolino-Bugaz in the direction of Sergeevka in the sea a long braid is issued, on which the village of Zatoka was laid in 1827. Odessa region, of course, did not exist then. And the village itself arose as a result of the discovery on the coast of the lighthouse and the consolidation of the crew of seamen for service. Later the place was settled by people, upset, communications appeared. Then there was a modern administrative division. And now Zatoka is the Odessa region, and not the Tsargradsky-Dnistrovsky district, as it was almost 2 centuries ago. The coast itself - with clean fine-grained sand, the width of which is almost 50 meters, and the length of 5 km, has turned into excellent beaches and attracts thousands of holidaymakers. Therefore, in the season, the population of the village, which is rather small, increases almost threefold.
