The long, narrow headland consists of vertical cliffs measuring 70 meters in height. It is entirely protected as a nature reserve. It is a breeding ground for numerous bird species, incl. cormorants, antlers and black shrike. There is a walking path along it, from which you can often see dolphins flowing below.
There are archaeological monuments in the headland, including the remains of defensive walls, waterworks, baths and a residence belonging to Despot Dobrotica, the 14th century ruler of the Bulgarian principality Despotat Dobrogea. It is worth mentioning that the first sea settlement was built on the peninsula by the Thracian tribe of Tiris already in the 4th century BC
At the entrance to the headland there is an obelisk connected with the local legend about 40 Bulgarian girls who threw themselves from the headland into the depths of the sea. They preferred to commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of the Ottoman invaders.
