Sail Rock, or Parus Rock (Russian: скала́ Па́рус, Skala Parus), is a natural sandstone monolith of late Cretaceous age located on the shore of the Black Sea, in Krasnodar Ragion, Russia. It resembles the outline of a ship's sail, hence its name. The monolith lies 10 km to the southeast of Divnomorskoe. Sail Rock has a sheer vertical slope confronting the shore of the sea, isolated from the mass of basic rock by geological forces. It is more than three-fourths revealed by the tide and lies perpendicular to the coast. The appearance of this unique formation is explained by the pounding of the sea on the land (erosion), as well as the different strengths of its constituent rocks. A hole of unclear origin is located in the sail, approximatively 2.5 metres above the ground. It is said, that there is another one hole at the same level in the Rock, which is only seen from the side of the Dzhankhot farmstead.
