When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.7/10 with highs of 31 °C, sea at 23.6 °C and 4 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.6 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 1.2 °C cooler than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.9 °C, warmer than 52% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (116 mm) and August the driest (3 mm); the yearly total is about 620 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.5 hours in December to 14.9 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:58 and sets at 20:38 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (215°). Open water fills about 33% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in October–March; in mid-December it goes down at 17:51 local time on a bearing of 240°.
Straight out to the south-west the next coast is roughly 30 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 43 m deep and 78 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 71 m above sea level 500 m inland and 292 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 52% grassland, 30% tree cover and 11% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 37% of that circle.
