It's a crescent-shaped bay. The sea is calm and clean. There are no waves. It's ideal for families with children. You have to wade 50-60 meters into the sea to swim, but it's very rocky and very difficult without sea shoes. Finding a sunbed and umbrella can be difficult. There's a small business on the beach that can meet your needs. Prices are reasonable. Cash only. There are two restrooms. Free showers. Vehicle entrance is 400 TL.
It would be beneficial to come with caution.

It has a small beach with clean water and is in the shape of a bay. There is constant wind and there are many stones in the water.

A bay I will never go to again for its sea
It was great to be in Şile and have no waves, but the bottom of the water was so full of stones that we couldn't swim.

We went canoeing and camping, we would have swam if it wasn't so rocky.
It was 400 TL for our vehicle and tent. I hope it stays at this price. The toilet was moderately clean.
Refrigerator available for campers
There are night lights, but they may not illuminate every part of the tent.
You can go up to the mountain to fish and enjoy the view, but only one baby anchovy arrived in season in June, and we couldn't get anything else.

I went on a weekend, and it was a bit crowded. The sea was calm and clear. The seabed is rocky, so wearing water shoes makes swimming more enjoyable. There's parking available. There's a cafe where you can eat. I really liked it.
