History

In 1925, the spit was cut by a storm, forming Tuzla Island. The open-water channel between Tuzla Island and the Russian mainland where the spit had previously existed reached over a kilometer in width.

Tuzla Spit consisted of the Tuzla Island (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".) and two small islands on the Russian side (Script error: No such module "Coordinates". and Script error: No such module "Coordinates".), and a narrow sand bar connecting them all. The two small islands were re-connected to each other by the 2003 construction by Russia of the 4.1 km long Tuzla dam (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".).

The Tuzla Spit formed the southern shore of the Taman Bay; the northern shore is the Chushka Spit.
