Skadovsk is a relatively young town, but from the very beginning it was known far beyond the borders of the Tauride region.

Back in 1896 a study was conducted and noted that the waters of the Dzharylgach Bay are noted for their continued transparency. The percentage of salt in the water more than in the open sea, in addition, the water contains a significant amount of compounds of iodine. The temperature is subject to less fluctuations than in the sea. All this gave the place the right to become a seaside resort. Already by the revolution, this resort had a hotel with a boarding house, kursaal, bathing and sea baths. So, for 20 years, thanks to S. B. Skadovsky in the desert steppe was equipped with a resort [source not shown 2659 days].
