It's quiet compared to Akçakese, not crowded even though it's Saturday. Parking - 200 Umbrella Rental - 100 Toilet - 20 However, the dirty water flowing from the stream behind it flows into the sea and the sea is muddy and dirty. Lifeguards warned one by one that the stream was opened and that it could be dangerous for health to enter, but there were people entering despite that. We had breakfast and left without swimming.
The sea is generally slightly wavy, but the water is very clear. It's not very crowded on weekdays. The endemic sand lilies in the dunes are magnificent and deserve protection. There's a fine of 380,000 TL for picking or damaging them, so act accordingly and don't drive over them!
Before coming here, we went to Ağlayankaya. We came here after seeing ninjas swimming in their uniforms. There were fewer men in the morning, but around 1:00 p.m., people in burkinis, Syrians, and people of unknown ethnicity stormed the beach. Lifeguards immediately warned off any young men who tried to light a barbecue. The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality needs to continue to liberate the beaches and provide WC and shower facilities on the beaches. At around 14:00 they opened the water in the stream bed to the sea. The sea is green, the beach smells like sewage I hope we are free of germs
The sea is very sandy. Some places were rocky. The sea deepens suddenly. Entrance is 200 meters for small cars and 400 meters for large cars. There is a lifeguard. Restrooms and showers are charged. There are no sunbeds. The spot I posted the video of is the cleanest. You can get there early and get a spot. It's a one-person retreat.
Istanbul is a wonderful place to visit, just 1.5 hours from Tuzla (after you've gotten past the Friday evening traffic). The weather and beautiful sand are especially captivating after mid-May. As you might expect, the sea is quite cold, after all, the Black Sea. (It's only accessible in mid-July (?)). There are two restaurants: one beach restaurant and the other Blue Beach. Both establishments have excellent menus. They are mid-range establishments. Restrooms are available. Blue Beach costs 10 TL, and Beach Beach costs 20 TL (2025). I recommend parking 100 meters before the beach. Because it's crowded on weekends, you'll find yourself waiting for a long time for car owners at the exit. I recommend finishing your grocery shopping before arriving. You can easily find businesses in the village that can meet all your needs. There's a sign prohibiting camping tents on the beach, but no one will bother you; one of the business owners probably hung it. The gendarmerie is 10 minutes away. You can easily stay the night with security. The wind increases at night. Camping close to the sea (3-4 meters) can be dangerous. You can follow the weather from the Windy program. Have a great holiday everyone. Have fun.
Şile, İstanbul
