There have been many irrelevant comments about this place, so those who are coming should not trust them. When you enter from the main road, which they call a bad road, maybe 1.5 km inside the forest, that's all. The sea is incredibly clean, not sandy, small pebbles, it doesn't bother you at all, on the contrary, it's very positive. Fish swim under your feet, and the view is magnificent. There is also a camping area. It's a place that must be visited.
THOSE WHO ARE COMING, PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT THROW GARBAGE AROUND...

The bay has one of the coldest waters in Mersin, but it's still warm. The water is crystal clear and perfectly suited for caravans or tents. Still, it's a great place to visit with your family for a day trip. The breeze is warm, and the water is warm to the touch. It's also easy to get to, but the bay is also known as Eğribük Bay, so they've posted a sign saying "Eğribük Bay." For those coming from Mersin, take the first right turn after passing through the second tunnel.

Barbaros Bay, also known as Eğribük Bay, which stretches like a road leading to the sea between two mountains, has become a popular spot for camping. Normally, it should be off-limits, but when we visited, there were caravans, tents, and everything in between. We managed to find a spot for our car amidst the crowds and spent an hour or two on the pebble beach. The sea is beautiful, deepening quickly, and the entrance is gravelly. I wouldn't recommend it for camping because there aren't many private areas at the bottom, but for those who prefer crowds, the beautiful, crystal-clear sea views are a good option.

The bay is also known as Eğirbük. You can reach the bay about 2 km after the main road. Under normal circumstances, camping and lighting fires are prohibited. However, since the season hadn't started, the gendarmerie came, checked everything, and then returned. There was a small business, but it wasn't active when we visited. My advice is to get everything you need before you arrive. Eighty percent of the beach is covered with gravel. It deepens suddenly, and the water is normal temperature. Perhaps it's because of the month we visited, but the water temperature was the same day and night. People came with caravans, and some even brought canoes. There were many people fishing. If you want to fish, it's best to head to the rocks on the right side of the sea. There's not enough parking, so only a limited number of cars can enter. Later, more vehicles can enter, but they may not be able to handle the crowds. It's a nice place for camping, but as I said, it's normally off-limits.

You can find this place by following the Eğribük sign. There are no toilets or showers. It's a place where there are usually a lot of caravaners. It's not sand, it's gravel. It gets deep quickly after 7 meters. You have to be careful, but the water is very clean. It's a very beautiful place.
