Whoever's interested in the music being played needs to be warned immediately. We come to the beach to find some peace, especially when Antepli plays, followed by arabesque songs one after another. We're in a funk. It's not that hard to play songs that will appeal to everyone.

I took my wife there and the water was warm, shallow and sandy. It was great, but there is a men's beach opposite the "women's beach" and a hotel next to it. It's visible from everywhere. So, no one has any special needs. The men's beach is far away, but the hotel is right next to it and especially the staff are disgraceful and rude. There was also a queue at the entrance, like a bread line, and they got sunburned for an hour in this heat. It's a disgrace. There was also a serious shortage of sunbeds. In conclusion, if you're having a women's beach, you should have made it a bit more sheltered. Building a hotel next to the women's beach is a disgrace, the staff anyway. I mean, it's up to you whether you go or not, but I don't think we recommend it.

You've already doubled the entrance fee compared to last summer, and we can't even bring anything in from outside. Not everyone has to buy anything there. Besides, the prices are no different from outside. I don't understand how this is a municipal beach. Besides, not everyone can eat everything; you're forcing people to pay for what you sell. A solution to this situation needs to be found urgently.

I've been going every summer for the last 3 years. Last time, there were about 6 men working to remove the leftovers from the concert. It was a storey and the entire beach was visible. I wish it was more camouflaged. Other than that, the food is more affordable and delicious compared to outside. The sea is very beautiful.

We paid 200 TL for the entrance fee. Bag searches are conducted upon entry, and bringing in outside items is prohibited. Food prices inside are similar to those outside; hamburgers and fries are 200 TL, and ice cream starts at 30-35 TL. The beach isn't bad, but it's not suitable for those wearing hijabs and going openly, as it's considered a women's beach, because boats are constantly passing by, and men are inside. Around noon, men are swimming directly across the shore. When we went to tell them, they didn't care. If you're wearing hijabs and already wearing swimsuits, it's fine. There are showers and changing rooms inside, but they're very small in my opinion. The restrooms weren't particularly clean, but they weren't bad enough to be unsafe. I think it's because the summer season hasn't quite started yet, but there were a lot of crabs and small jellyfish in the sea. Otherwise, the sea was clean and the water was quite pleasant to look at. I recommend going early in the morning; it gets very crowded in the afternoons, and the water gets dirty very quickly.
