Attractions resort storm is not rich. In fact, there is only one attraction - Museum "marine curiosities", which is definitely worth a visit. There are also several interesting places in the vicinity of the resort that you can walk to during your vacation: three lakes with therapeutic mud and Z.City or remains of "Kazantip" in Popovka. To see something else interesting, you will have to go to more distant attractions with excursions.

Excursions to the beautiful Tarakhnkut Peninsula, sightseeing in Yalta or Yevpatoria, Taigan Park, Bakhchisarai palaces, Balaklava, historical Sevastopol, Jur-Jur waterfall, AI-Petri mountain and the Grand Canyon are popular.
When buying excursions in Stormovoye, please specify whether there is a transfer in Yevpatoria, as well as how much time you will spend on the road. The fact is that, for example, there are tours to distant attractions, during which you will spend most of the time on the road in the bus. For example, this is a trip to the Jur-Jur waterfalls, Yalta and Taigan Park. To get to any of these places, you will have to go 4 hours only in one direction, and if with a transfer in Yevpatoria, then all 5 hours. But trips to Evpatoria, Bakhchisarai (Khan's Palace and cave cities), Sevastopol, Saki, Simferopol, Tarkhankut Peninsula are quite good options.

Well, as an option, you can buy excursions immediately from Yevpatoria and get to the place of departure yourself by bus (from 60 USD), taxi (from 350 USD) or by your own car.

And now we reveal a complete list and description of the attractions that you can visit from the storm yourself, indicating the opening hours, cost and how to get to them:
Museum "Marine Curiosities"
This is a unique Museum of its kind, the exhibits of which are unusual objects washed ashore by the sea. The idea is to show how nature in the face of the sea can become an artist, creating almost objects of art. Of course, in fact, the exhibits are far from art objects, but the stones, for many centuries or even millennia, turned by waves to The Shape of the head of an alien, a bun and the like, can not but surprise. The exhibits in the museum are both man-made (stones, shells) and man-made (bottles, ceramics, even chairs), but changed beyond recognition during their stay at sea.
Visiting the museum includes accompanying a guide who tells informative and interesting stories, and involves visitors in fantasies about what this or that exhibit looks like. There are also master classes for children on making handicrafts-souvenirs.

Lake Oyburskoye is officially recognized as curative and is known for deposits of blue clay containing useful minerals, metals, salts and trace elements. It is believed that it cleanses and disinfects the skin, and therefore is actively used for cosmetic procedures. Next to it separated by an embankment road is a small unnamed lake with black silt mud. And on the other side of the village there is another officially recognized healing Adjibaychik lake with black and Blue Mud. There is no infrastructure for carrying out medical procedures here, and therefore you will have to independently extract mud from the bottom, which is not difficult, since all the lakes are very small.
