Strelna Shore

Strelninsky Coast is a specially protected natural area in Strelna on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, covering an area of about 0.4 square kilometers. On this territory, 130 species of lichen biota have been identified, including lichens discovered for the first time in Russia and in the North-West of the European part of the country. Nine lichen species found here are listed in the Red Book of St. Petersburg, and the discovery of Leptogium saturninum may indicate a decrease in atmospheric pollution. The coast can be reached by car via the Saint Petersburg Highway and Rastannaya Street or by public transport.
