In the last week of July 2022, we stumbled upon Kadıkalesi Public Beach with our caravan and had the opportunity to stay two nights. As we headed north along the peninsula, towards Gümüşlük, we saw a stone-paved street leading from the highway to the sea. On the left at the entrance were a mosque and shops ahead. I pulled the caravan aside and walked through this small market towards the sea. At the end of the market, I saw the public beach and its fish restaurants. In between, there was a dirt parking lot the size of two football fields. I spoke to the young people operating sunbeds on the benches above the public beach. They explained that the parking and the public beach were free, and that we could use the sunbeds and restrooms in exchange for food and drink. They also told us we could use the seaside benches starting from the time the sunbeds were collected. We were very comfortable here under these conditions. We really enjoyed the view of the setting sun. We weren't so fond of the sea; the interior was rocky to the point of being wet. The beach is beautiful and sandy. There are showers at the businesses. I recommend stopping by and having some fish while passing through.

The beach is very narrow, and the sea wasn't as clean as other places we've visited in Bodrum. Similarly, we didn't find the sea very clean. The sea is rocky at first, then sandy for about 20 meters, then mossy for another 30-40 meters. The depth is ideal for children. Transportation is quite easy; you can drive right to the beach. We went in the evening and had no trouble finding a parking spot. We weren't very pleased.

The entrance to the sea is rocky and difficult to walk without shoes, but the further part is sandy and the water is cold. I think the beach is sufficient. We were going to set up a tent in the evening, but there were too many people who came to drink and we had to avoid the sharp objects. There is a mosque nearby for those who want to set up a tent where they can relieve themselves. The fee is 10 TL. For shopping, there is a Carrefour and A101 within walking distance. The beach is free.

The sea is beautiful. Unfortunately, most of the umbrellas were removed in 2025! The resorts are trying to take over the public spaces. There's an influx of holidaymakers. Trash cans are slowly being removed, umbrellas are being removed, and sun loungers are becoming scarce! Restaurants are setting up tables on the beach! The beaches are for everyone!
