The beach was full of seaweed and musulfa. They said it was beautiful. I want to see it again when it's calmer. But I don't understand what that statue is doing there at all. You could do something more useful... a public restroom, for example. :)

The water is wavy and seriously dangerous! Those who don't know how to swim shouldn't go too far. There may be undesirable consequences, God forbid. The water is clean, but caution is needed. The municipality could do with a little more attention, such as changing rooms, etc. The beach is beautiful and sandy.

A fascinating beach. Dangerous yet captivating.

The view is nice, but the seashore is covered in seaweed and rocky. The beach is nice, but there are no showers or changing rooms. When we arrived, a nearby guesthouse was playing very loud music. Frankly, I had considered staying for a picnic even if we didn't go swimming, but we decided against it because the noise was so disturbing.

One of Kandıra's most remote locations, the sandy beach is generally long. There's no lifeguard service. There are no showers or changing rooms. There's only one small grocery store-style place right below the guesthouse. The A101 is just across the road. There's no other place to shop. There are a few guesthouses, and it's more suitable for a day trip. There's also a monument to the Abkhazians. I've shared photos and videos.
