This beach, with its clean sand and crystal-clear waters, is a true oasis of tranquility. The tranquility of the water and the freshness of the shore, especially in the morning, are captivating. The sun loungers and umbrellas are well-maintained, and the beach staff is attentive and helpful.

The showers and restrooms are generally clean, although they can get a bit crowded during peak hours. The drinks and snacks at the beach bar are fresh and delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The shallow waters are quite safe for families with children.

My only complaint was that there could have been a little more shade. Also, you need to wear water shoes in some parts of the beach, as the sand can get quite hot in mid-summer.

With its overall cleanliness, quality service, and natural beauty, it's a great option for those looking to enjoy the sea. A place where you can fully enjoy the sun, sand, and sea! ?️☀️

It has a long, clean beach. It definitely looks more beautiful in the summer with the sunset view. This was the end of April when it was a bit foggy. It might be nice to come here with more time and walk along the beach. Perhaps there are more walking paths closer to the sea. Samsun Atakum is a beautiful place, but I've never gotten used to the hills.

A long beach in Atakum. We only took a walk. There were few swimmers around noon, but the water was murky and wavy. There are cafes along the way. This is a more ideal place for a walk than the center.

We stopped by this area during our Black Sea tour. There are no breakwaters like other places in the area. There are no toilets or prayer rooms nearby. There is no parking area for children. I also think the parking area is not sufficient, especially on weekends. There is a Yeşilyurt Shopping Mall nearby where you can meet your food, drink, and clothing needs. There are electric vehicle stations where there are many people from abroad in the summer.
The sea bottom is sandy and the sea is not deep and it does not absorb water. The sea in this area is dirty. I would like to add that.
We liked it overall and recommend it.
