The Caspian Sea

One of the best sites to visit in Azerbaijan is the Caspian Sea, the world's largest lake. From the southern border with Iran to the northern border with Dagestan, the Azerbaijani coastline runs for more than 500 kilometers (310 miles). The Caspian Sea sits on what appears to be an ocean bed, and the water is salty, but it has a lower saline content than other seas and oceans, making it ideal for swimming because it is less prone to irritate the skin. Bot tours, diving chances, and fishing are all popular activities on the Caspian Sea.

Despite the fact that portions of the shoreline and beaches surrounding Baku are polluted, lovely resorts can be found in Sumgait, in the northern part of the Absheron Peninsula. Lankaran, about four hours south of Baku and close to the Iranian border, also has some lovely resorts.
