Golden Beaches

The especially golden sands of Oxus's beaches have given them their name. Popular with young athletes who use the beach to swim in the waters of the sea competing against each other, launching themselves from the cliffs to the south, or off Bocia Island, to which they organize swimming races. The cliffs between the island and the city itself hold reefs full of natural beauty that lead young people to enjoy diving in these areas, despite the danger involved. Occasionally night parties are organized on the beach, as well as the Lyokokymon festival in honor of Thassa. On the southern beach during this month, during the festival, crabs of all shapes and sizes come out of the sea covering the sand with shiny shells like precious stones, honoring Thassa with what the citizens have come to call "Thassa's tiara."
