Akhtynsky

Akhtynsky is a rural locality in Khasansky District of Primorsky Krai, Russia. It is situated near the border with North Korea, on the coast of the Amur Bay. The settlement's name is believed to be derived from the Nivkh word "akhta," meaning "place of reeds" or "marshy place."

The primary economic activity in Akhtynsky has historically been fishing and related industries. The fertile waters of the Amur Bay provide abundant resources, supporting a local fishing fleet. In recent decades, there has been some development in aquaculture and tourism, though these remain secondary to traditional fishing.

Akhtynsky has a small population, primarily engaged in the local economy. The settlement features basic infrastructure, including a school, a post office, and a few small shops. Due to its remote location and proximity to the border, access to Akhtynsky is primarily by road, with some maritime transport available depending on weather conditions. The natural environment surrounding Akhtynsky is characterized by coastal landscapes, including beaches, small forests, and the waters of the Amur Bay. The area is known for its scenic beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities, although its accessibility can be a limiting factor for tourism.
