Located approximately 10 km from the entrance to the National Park, this bay is definitely worth a visit for its natural beauty and crystal-clear waters. The water is exceptionally clean and clear, so clear that you can easily spot large fish (especially sea bream and sea bass) without needing a mask or snorkel. However, because the water deepens quickly and the shore is pebbly and rocky, it's not suitable for families with children. Bringing water shoes is a must.

A little further out from the shore, you'll reach the sandy bottom, making swimming enjoyable. There are a limited number of picnic tables on the beach. If you bring your own grill, the restaurant in the bay will cook and serve it for a reasonable fee (250 TL per kilo)—an excellent alternative.

In terms of facilities, there are showers, toilets, and changing rooms, but the cleanliness is average. Mornings are relatively quiet, but unfortunately, the crowds and noise can increase in the afternoon. It gets particularly busy on weekends, so those seeking peace and quiet should choose the early hours.

This bay, which can be much more enjoyable if nature is treated with respect, is definitely worth spending time in, with its clear water, view and natural structure, despite all its difficulties.

I recommend you come to Kavaklı Burnu. Parking is free. Toilets, showers, sunbeds. The sea is perfect. Pigs are wandering around the tables. Don't leave your food lying around. Have a nice holiday.

It's generally a quiet place, with a beautiful sea, but it's not sandy, but rocky and pebbly. The picnic area is 10 meters from the beach, making it a good family destination. There are changing rooms and restrooms. There's also a small market.

A wonderful bay nestled in nature. Tranquility, forest, and sea... Sun loungers are free but few in number. There are tables in the picnic areas, but wild boars roam. There's a HGS entrance fee to enter the national park; there's no other fee. The water is a bit cold. But the nature is beautiful.
