Burhaniye and Beach Culture

Located on the Edremit Gulf of Balıkesir, Burhaniye is known for its clear air from the Kaz Mountains and deep blue sea. The area boasts beaches that are primarily a mix of pebbles and sand, and its tranquil atmosphere makes it ideal for those seeking a relaxing getaway from the crowds. Burhaniye's coastline offers a wide variety of destinations, from central public beaches to more isolated coves.

Burhaniye's Featured Beaches
Ören Public Beach (Blue Flag Center)

It's arguably Burhaniye's most famous and lively beach. Awarded the Blue Flag, Ören stands out with its long, fine, sandy shore. The sea is shallow and generally calm, making it a perfect choice for families with children. Just behind the beach is a walking path, cafes, and restaurants. It's completely open to the public, and sunbed rentals are readily available.

Artur Beaches and Bays

Artur, located further west, is a densely populated area, but some of its coves are open to the public. Artur beaches are generally less crowded than those in Ören, and the water is clear. The ground is mostly pebbled, making it ideal for those seeking a tranquil and natural haven.

Pelitköy Coast and Beaches

Located between Ören and Burhaniye, Pelitköy boasts a wide coastline. Less developed than the central beach, it's an area densely populated by summer houses. The sea gradually deepens and can be more exposed to the wind. Those who enjoy camping or enjoying the sea with their own equipment might prefer this spot.

Teachers' Neighborhood Beach

Located near Burhaniye Pier, this beach is ideal for those looking for a swim without straying too far from the city center. The beach is generally composed of pebbles and fine sand. Known for its tranquility and cleanliness, this area also offers beautiful sunset views.

Tips Before Going to Burhaniye Beaches
  • Sea Shoes: It is recommended that you have sea shoes to move comfortably in pebbly areas such as Artur and İskele.
  • Parking: Parking can be a problem, especially in Ören during high season; arriving early in the morning is an advantage.
  • Water Temperature: Due to the influence of the Kaz Mountains, the water of Edremit Gulf is generally cooler than the southern Aegean.
  • Access: All beaches can be easily reached by minibuses or taxis departing from Burhaniye center.
