It's a very long beach, yes the sea is very beautiful but as someone who goes there from the nearby area it has some negatives. I added it in the photo, from where I'm standing one is on the right and the other is on the left, so it's a very long beach. However, the summer houses behind the beach seem to have fixed an umbrella as if they bought the beach when they bought the summer house and they all have it fixed somewhere else and you have to open your umbrella somewhere else. If you open it somewhere close to an empty umbrella, they can come to you 5 minutes later and say "this is mine, you live too close". This is ridiculous.
Edirne has extremely hot and bad weather, and so does Enez. It's so hot outside you can't sit, but there's a strong wind, so you have to take your umbrella with you. Even though the water is warm, you get cold when you swim in the sea. I don't know if the weather is always like this, but it's been like this every time I've been there. The sea is perfect for children because it's almost 60-70 meters knee-deep. This might be fine for children, but the long, shallow waters can be tedious for adults.
There's an area between where you park your vehicles and the beach, and it's always filthy and neglected. It would be nice if the municipality would take care of the dry grass, but no one seems to. And because people don't throw their trash away, as in all the beautiful places in Türkiye, it's filthy... In short, I didn't like Enezi.

The sea is quite clean, cool, and clear. Because it doesn't get deep quickly, even non-swimmers can have a great time. The water is also self-cleaning. It has a wide, sandy beach that stretches as far as the eye can see. It's a town that's not very crowded except during holidays, making it an ideal place to unwind. As long as you don't get caught in the ladybug infestation, which lasts about a week, it's a perfect place to relax.

God gave us the sea and the sand. The CHP municipality hasn't even capitalized on that. The sea is truly clean, but municipal services are nonexistent. You only look at a beach. This beautiful, idyllic place seems abandoned to its fate. The part of the beach closest to the sea is fine sand. There's grass at the end of the sand. When that grass dries and falls out, the sand blends in with the established grass. Either plant grass in that area or completely remove the sand. The ridiculous lack of maintenance is a shame. Those who rent sunbeds should at least clean it up. You're charging 400 TL per sunbed. The ground is crawling with garbage... At least keep your own space clean. Bringing a tent makes sense, by the way, but as is typical of the CHP municipality, stray dogs are everywhere at night. Those with children might be afraid. Of course, since there's no pest control, you might get bitten by mosquitoes at night. You can protect yourself with insect repellent like Sinkov from three-letter supermarkets. Still, it's a budget-friendly place for a family trip, relatively close to Istanbul. It's poorly maintained, but it works. Ninety percent of the criticism is about the failure to capitalize on this beautiful location. The friendly people of Edirne and Enez should at least change their preferences to receive some electoral service. It would be beneficial for their future.

Plenty of mosquitoes, black flies, dragonflies, ladybugs, some places have been given away for free. If you set up a tent somewhere outside of that, the gendarmerie comes and says the forest is forbidden, but even though there is a forest 100 meters to the side, some have been given away for free. There is no prohibition for them. The roads will burst the shock absorbers, as you can see, it's not worth a penny. Extremely mediocre, Enez Municipality is beyond awful, it's a shame, it's a shame, Silivri is a big drawer, it's more beautiful, you can be sure.

The sea is beautiful, there is camping opportunity. My advice to those who will come is to take precautions against mosquitoes. They are waiting for you to suck your blood. They swarm over you like a herd of hyenas when it gets dark.
