Within the bay were the remains of an ancient Armenian church with Armenian inscriptions near the altar [5]
In 1784, a two-arm artillery battery was located in the bay. On the shore of the bay was the cottage of the famous Russian shipbuilding engineer G. I. Bubnov. Around it, a small holiday village of the Russian intelligentsia Bubnovka arose. At the bottom of the bay lies several ships.
