The Most Beautiful Beaches in Pazar: The Hidden Pearls of the Black Sea
Rize's Pazar district, in addition to its majestic mountains and lush greenery, is also home to some of the Black Sea's cleanest and most peaceful coastlines. Here are our favorite beaches, offering a relaxing escape away from the crowds.
1. Kirazlık Coastline: Central Comfort
Kirazlık, offering easy access to the Pazar district center, is one of the region's most well-known and well-maintained coastal areas. This beach, composed primarily of small pebbles, is known for its clear waters and pristine waters. The surrounding social facilities and recreational areas are ideal for families to enjoy all day long. Here, where the unique green and blue of the Black Sea meet, you can both cool off and breathe in the local atmosphere of Pazar.
2. Şenköy Shores: Peace and Tranquility
As you travel east from the town center, the Şenköy region offers more isolated and natural coastlines. It's perfect for those seeking a quiet escape from the crowds and a quieter seaside experience. The beaches here are frequented by locals and offer a unique Black Sea experience, complemented by views of the region's tea fields. The water is quite clear, but like other Black Sea coastlines, the seabed can deepen quickly; caution is advised.
3. Maiden's Castle Locality Beach: Historical View
This coastline, notable for its proximity to the historic Maiden's Castle, a symbol of Pazar, adds a cultural richness to your swimming experience. Swimming or sunbathing with a view of the castle makes this one of the most special spots in Pazar. The beach is well-maintained and a wonderful spot for watching the sunset. It's a must-see for visitors seeking a blend of history and the sea.
