The sea is wonderful, especially for children because it is not deep, but it is very poorly maintained, the municipality does not take the necessary care.

Not bad. It can get very windy at times. When it's windy, it gets very dirty. If you're windy, don't go in. You can bring your own umbrella. There's a facility; as of July 14, 2025, the price for an umbrella and two sunbeds is 300 TL. There are restrooms and showers. Showers are 30 TL. The facility offers meals: French fries, hamburgers, meatballs in bread, grilled meatballs, cheeseburgers, etc.
There's a parking lot. The road is very good, no problems. Some users have reported that the road is bad, but that's definitely not the case. I go every time I'm in Didim; the road is very smooth. It's beautiful and worth seeing when it's windless. It's just a little shallow. You keep going, and the water comes up to your knees. (If you have children, it's an extremely beautiful place to be.)

Nature is beautiful, but people aren't. It was so wavy when we went, we couldn't swim. Parking isn't a problem; there's a large area. However, there was all sorts of debris, even diapers, and it was neglected. There was seagrass in the sea. I'll try it again in calm weather and revise my rating.

In my opinion, it's one of Didim's most beautiful bays and swimming spots. You can only arrive by private vehicle. It's in the Altınkum area. Public transport isn't available. I especially recommend coming in spring and autumn. The sound of the sea is soothing. Your clean feet are visible.

It has a very clean, clear sea, but it's full of fish. The sea is completely sandy, and you can see through it. It's not very crowded. It's suitable for children. It's shallow. There are restrooms and showers. You can easily find a place to park your car.
