Across the river is Zadvinye, now an almost unremarkable area. But there was a border between the two sections of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772-93) along the Dvina, and Polotsk was a provincial city in 1776-96. Zadvinye remained Lithuanian, and I think its inhabitants felt about the same as the current inhabitants of the Far East, looking across the Amur at the growing Heihe and Fuyuan. However, their fears were short-lived - soon Vilnius, Grodno and Kamenets-Podolsky were under Russia, and a little later Warsaw itself.
Very nice beach. It is very convenient and safe to play with children. The river is very clean, there is almost no garbage. I recommend this beach to everyone.
They poured sand, put up a bench, changing rooms, a toilet, but the plants on the shore were not removed, perhaps they will be removed before the season.
Unsettled, and in general there are many disadvantages. And now, in connection with the repair of the bridge, you can even forget about those shortcomings that were, although they, let's call them conditionally, satisfied the residents of the city. And this is the proximity to a public transport stop, generally easy accessibility for recreation in the city.
