When you reach the east edge of Bulvar (the fancy tourist coast path) you can walk directly into some leftover construction towers and a giant oil spill, It's just there and no one even cares. I waded into it and found a small pomegranate bush in it. I was deeply deeply tempted to take a fruit and eat it but I resisted.
I just checked the area on google maps and it seems it all got paved over with sand. RIP inner city oil spill, may your death cause many shitty Indian popcorn and e-bike stands to bloom. <3
Same thing happened to the big ship graveyard on Boyuk Zira (a small lighthouse island outside of the city), I wanted to visit it but there is some mess about permits and everything's been demolished now to make space for oligarch casino hotels or whatever.
One last point, the land/sea border has been closed since Covid, and now stays closed because of "terrorism", it's pretty blatantly just to increase demand for plane tickets (extended family members from the ruling family have good control of the air industry in the country). So there is no possibility of roadtripping, and passenger trains don't run either. Wikivoyage now says you can leave, just not enter, but that's new to me.
