When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June and August–September; June scores 9.6/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 23.6 °C and 12 mm of rain.
In June 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 3.2 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 21.8 °C, warmer than 68% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (225 mm) and August the driest (3 mm); the yearly total is about 960 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.6 hours in June; in mid-June the sun rises at 05:43 and sets at 20:19 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-east (155°). Open water fills about 39% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 241° to 300°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in October–March.
The opposite shore is only about 2.0 km away to the south-south-east, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 131 m deep, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 51 m above sea level 500 m inland and 128 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 81% tree cover and 14% shrubland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 65% of that circle.

- Shrub 14%
