Places in Georgia

The seaside resort of Guria 24 kilometres from Ozurgeti, where the fine black sand of the shore holds 2–7 per cent magnetite and sets up a magnetic field of 150–250 microtesla, in places up to 850: a resort built from 1949, with a warm shallow sea and Pitsunda pines, on the site of the Bronze Age "Ureki hoard".

Between Ureki and Kobuleti at the mouth of the Natanebi, in a 5-kilometre strip of pines: the young resort of Guria with magnetic sand, the Black Sea Arena (2016, 10,000 seats), the Tsitsinatela amusement park, the Miniature, Musicians' and 60-hectare dendrological parks, on the site of Fort St Nicholas and one of the first battles of the Crimean War.
