National Natural Park «Svyatoslav’s White Coast», also known as Kinburn Spit, is another protected corner of nature in Mykolayiv region of Ukraine. Here is concentrated the rarest natural complex of the Lower Dnieper sands. Local landscapes consist of small areas of sandy steppes, notable saga forest groves, various wetlands, as well as within the park there are artificially created pine plantations. A total of 35223.15 hectares of land is assigned to the park.
It is easy to find the park «Svyatoslav’s White Coast»: its territory is located a little to the south of the city of Ochakov in Ochakov district of Nikolaev region. This is the expanse of the Kinburn Peninsula, its western part. In the north, the peninsula goes to the Dnieper Bug estuary, in the west — to the Black Sea, and in the south — to the Yagorlitsky Bay. 
In general, the name of the Kinburn Spit nature protection area was from the first years of its existence, the new name — «Svyatoslav’s Biloberezhye» the territory received relatively recently (in 2009) together with a higher status — National Park. Previously, the park belonged to the «landscape» — that’s how it was created in 1992. The very word combination «Kinburn Spit» has Turkic roots, it is formed from the words «hair» and «cape». As a result, the total length of the coastline of the Kinburn Spit is 71 kilometers. The spit is 40 kilometers long and 8-10 kilometers wide.
It turns out to be an incredible combination — one part of Kinburn spit is washed by sea waters, and the other — by river waters. Inside the Kinburn Peninsula there are about 300 lakes, some of which have salt water, and some of which have fresh water. There are even salt-mining lakes and lakes with therapeutic mud. 
This phenomenon contributed to the creation of the most unique flora and fauna on the peninsula. Local plant communities are mainly represented by pine forests and grasses with an abundance of medicinal herbs (solyanets solarosy, Tatar kermek, orchids, jatryshnik kidney and so on). Among birds, local representatives of the Red Books are especially appreciated: pelicans, swans, pheasants, thrushes, gray cranes, white herons and white storks.
Today the history keeps a lot of beautiful legends, which are somehow connected with the territory of Kinburn Spit. Earlier in its water area lay the most important sea trade route, in view of this territory of the peninsula was interesting to many people. There is a number of legends about the wise and invincible queen of the peninsula, who had snakes instead of legs. 
There are also legends about beautiful Amazons warriors, who contributed to the supremacy of matriarchy on the peninsula. One of the legends reveals the history of another name of the peninsula — Achilles Run. It comes from the athletic games organized here by Achilles himself to celebrate his victory in a sea battle. Some legends help to explore the geography of the peninsula: some tell stories about the temple of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, others about the grove of the moon goddess. Today, there is still a place among the local cultural traditions for Chumaca songs, which took root on the spit in the past centuries, when the Chumacas themselves often visited the peninsula to collect salt from its lakes.
Kinburn Spit is also remarkable for its centuries-old history. So, at the end of XV century Turks built their fortress Kinburn
, which already at the end of XVIII century was half defeated by the troops of A. V. Suvorov. The final transformation of the fortress into ruins occurred during the Crimean War, when the fortress left only stones soldiers of the Franco-British fleet.
Today all the activities of the park are aimed at the development of the following directions: preservation of biological and landscape diversity of Kinburn spit, organization of cultural and ecological recreation for the guests of the park, educational activities, as well as taking into account the needs of the local population. The administration of this park is located in the city of Ochakov.
