Altinkum beach

This beach is absolutely incredible, with a vibrant atmosphere, charming shops, and an array of fantastic restaurants stretching along the waterfront. Whether you're here for the beach itself or simply to enjoy breathtaking views while savoring a couple of cocktails, you absolutely must dedicate a day to this place. I highly recommend trying out Cafe Istanbul for their delicious food and potent drinks - you can check out the previous review for more details.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear and invigorating water. Surprisingly, it is not crowded at all.

The beach is absolutely stunning. There are convenient amenities nearby such as cafes, restaurants, and shops where you can purchase any forgotten items. On the beach, locals sell delicious hot corn, simit, sweets, and water. However, the prices are quite high. For instance, a bottle of water costs 1.75 tl at the shop, but they sell it for 10 tl on the beach. After a refreshing swim, you can rinse your feet with fresh water. Additionally, there are clean restroom facilities and changing cabins available.

The beach is an incredibly serene and stunning location, free from any disturbances such as noise or loud music. It maintains a high level of cleanliness, and is adorned with an abundance of beautiful flowers.

This beach is considered one of the best and most popular in Turkey. It offers affordable prices, with 35TL (2022) for two long chairs and an umbrella, as it is managed by the local municipality. The sandy bottom is mostly smooth, with occasional rocks and seaweed. It is a great choice for families with children and couples, but it is recommended to arrive early to avoid overcrowding in the afternoon. The water is generally clean in the morning, but it becomes choppier and murkier as more people arrive. Here's a helpful tip: If you bring your own chair and portable low table to the western end of the beach (the right end when facing the sea), you can enjoy the calm and coolness of the evening. While you won't be able to see the sunset, the beauty of the water becomes truly incredible as the crowds disperse. You can swim as much as you like while it gradually gets darker. The place is safe and peaceful. Although there are other beaches nearby, most of them are either rocky, littered, or too isolated. However, this beach is only a few meters away from the restaurants. Come at the right time and experience it for yourself.
