Geography

The lake basin of an irregular elongated body of water stretching from the northeast to the southwest. The shores in the north are winding and steep with and without beaches, 13 (western) and 7-11 (eastern) m high. The southern coast is gentle and repeats the line of the isthmus with the Black Sea. The lake has two branches Solyonoye (Bazaryan) (separated by an artificially fixed isthmus with a road, but communicated by the fairway) and Kurudiol (partially separated). Lake Kurudiol adjoins to the west, and Alibei to the west. Lakes Shagany, Alibey and Burnas form a system of not separated (isthmuses and scythes) lakes.
The lake is characterized by partial drying out and salinization due to a drop in water level. The bottom is covered with mud (black silt), in places - sand with shell. To the east of the lake is the village and resort of Lebedevka .
