The sea water is very clean, the atmosphere is beautiful, and there's a municipal cafe. There are no showers due to water shortages, but there are changing rooms. If you arrive early, you can spend a wonderful day under the juniper trees.

You can use the umbrellas right next to the sea for free. There's a municipal facility right next to it. Two sun loungers and an umbrella cost 400 TL. There are 5 or 6 restrooms, and the facility was generally clean. We paid 500 TL for two crispy chicken plates and two sodas. The food was amazing. The sea is sandy and not crystal clear. I don't think the water is cold either. I was pleased. I recommend it.

There's nothing bad to say about the beach; it's like a sparkling aquarium, but the same can't be said for the management. There's no minibus from the center to get to the beach, and if there is, it arrives hourly. We decided to take a taxi, so we paid 200 TL for a hop-on, hop-off, and restrooms. Anyway, we finally made it to the beach. My friend and I paid 700 TL for an umbrella and two sun loungers at the Ardıç Beach municipal facility. The changing room is already filthy and disgusting, and the restrooms are unhygienic. The food is overpriced, and we waited 45-50 minutes for a single french fry. After swimming, there was no shower, and we were left covered in sand. In short, the regret of having spent our hard-earned money here (without receiving any service) was overwhelming. You come on vacation to unwind, and you come back even more stressed. The municipality's management is terrible, nothing. There are no showers, and the restrooms are filthy, and the changing room is filthy. It's better to throw a towel in the sea and swim in the sand. Paying the facility and doing the same thing we did was a real shame.
Don't get scammed.

The sea is very clean and beautiful. The beach is sandy on the outside, and the shore on the left is rocky. The inside is sandy. The sea is usually wavy. The depths of the sea change from time to time, and sand dunes can form. It's a Blue Flag beach with safety measures. The establishment has a wide food and drink menu. There used to be a park for children, but now there are only a few toys left. Sunbeds and lodges are charged. There is a shower. There's a basketball/football court and a beach volleyball court right next to it. There's also a kiosk and a grocery store nearby (in addition to the beach itself) where you can buy alcohol. It's crowded on weekends, but quieter during the week. Parking might be a problem on weekends. The nearest supermarket is a car drive away. It's a beautiful location.

The toilets were not very hygienic
There was only one changing room on the track. Due to staff shortages, the main courses on the menu were not available; meals were served on plastic plates. We paid 700 TL for two people for a sunbed.
We paid 900 TL for 2 hamburgers, a crispy chicken plate and 2 colas. The sunbed price seemed very high to us even though it was a municipal facility.
