Sign in to savethumb|The Mercator's map Dzharylhach (Cyrillic: Джарилгач, also spelled as Dzharylgach; Crimean Tatar: Carılğaç) is a sand bank in Skadovsk Raion, Kherson Oblast near Crimea in Ukraine. Along with the Tendra island that lies to the west, in the past it was a spit that Greeks called "Course of Achilles".

The wider portion used to be called Tamyraca. It was named after an ancient town of Tamyraca located on the continent across the bay.
