The sea is very beautiful, the management is municipal, there is no entrance fee, etc., sunbeds and umbrellas are available for a fee, the sea was very beautiful and has clean, clear water, but unfortunately, people throw their garbage on the beach without collecting it and do not pay attention, everyone should be sensitive about this issue...

Excluding the cigarette butts planted in the sand, the sea is clean for Turkish conditions, shallow enough to swim in for Black Sea conditions, relatively affordable umbrellas and sunbeds, plenty of free space on weekdays for those who want to bring their own, and parking for those who want to walk a hundred meters for Istanbul conditions. A true Ortadirek beach.

Entry is free, but the A101 is just behind it. The coastline is very wide, but the beach isn't very well maintained. There's a restaurant that serves alcohol, and you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds for a fee, but it's more profitable to buy one from the market behind.
The sea is perfect, crystal clear, and quite shallow, never deepening no matter how far you go. Swimming overlooking the castle and mountains was quite enjoyable. The sunset looked stunning.

It truly has a beautiful and calm sea, but this poor view doesn't suit it at all. Furthermore, there were no showers or changing rooms on the beach. I saw that the municipality was failing to fulfill its service obligations.

A beach that is not affected by roadside, castle edge, or currents.
