The water's clarity is probably the reason it earned this much. The beach is full of rocks, and your feet hurt when you walk. The sea is crystal clear, but it suddenly deepens, and the bottom is just rocks. A lodge costs 4,000 TL, a four-person lounge costs 1,500 or 2,000 TL, and a two-person sunbed is 700 TL free. You'll need to bring a chair or something if you don't want to spread a towel on the rocks. There are plenty of insects and flies in the forest, which is natural, but disturbing. There are pigs everywhere, so be careful. This is the last bay. The sea gets very choppy in the afternoon. I give the sea a 10 for cleanliness. It would be perfect if it had sand. There's a changing room and a toilet.

It's unbelievable that some people gave it low marks because the sea is rocky and deep. It's such a beautiful bay. Yes, it's rocky and deep, but that's not a problem; it's crystal clear and has a stunning color. Swimming is so enjoyable that if you have a car and are visiting the national park, it should be your first choice. Bay 3 is also beautiful, but Bay 4 is the most beautiful.
There's a restroom and changing room. The price for an umbrella and two sun loungers at the establishment was around 700-750 TL. Bring your own food and drink, but be careful of the pigs.

The most beautiful bay at the end of the national park. İçmeler Bay is often called the first bay, and the others are rocky, but Karasu Bay, with its sandy shores and crystal-clear water, is a real treat. Last year, we visited Aydın Bay, but we didn't like it much. This year, we wanted to try Karasu Bay. It's about 10 kilometers after entering the national park, and there's no way past the entrance; it's closed off by the gendarmerie. The bay offers stunning views all the way to the edge, perfect for taking photos, and the sounds of the insects and birds in the forest are therapeutic.

The national park entrance fee is 180 ₺ in July 2025, and there's no extra fee to enter the bay. If you have a HGS (High-Speed Pass) card, crossing is easy. I recommend bringing food and drinks with you to the bay, and don't be too concerned about the pigs. They've become quite friendly with humans and are hanging around freely.

The water was crystal clear, and the surroundings were quite clean. The shore is rocky, and the sea deepens quickly, making it not a suitable bay for families with children. While showers, changing rooms, and toilets are nice to have, cleanliness levels are below average. Unfortunately, it became quite noisy by late afternoon. I wish everyone would learn to be a little more respectful of their surroundings while enjoying nature. Still, it's worth visiting for its natural beauty, and if you can manage to catch some quiet hours, it's a very enjoyable place.

It's the last bay in the national park. It's about 10 km from the national park entrance. The water is quite clean, clear, and cold. You should wear water shoes. The shore is rocky. After a short swim, the seabed becomes sandy. If you bring any grilling supplies, the restaurant in the bay will grill them for 250 TL per kilo, and they're fantastic. No need for a mask or snorkel; the big fish are readily visible. There's not much underwater diversity; only sea bream and sea bass.
