When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June and September; September scores 9.3/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 23.1 °C and 44 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Turkey in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 17.9 °C, cooler than 59% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (75 mm) and August the driest (13 mm); the yearly total is about 590 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.3 hours in December to 15.1 hours in June; in mid-September the sun rises at 06:53 and sets at 19:25 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south (180°). Open water fills about 47% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in October–February; in mid-December it goes down at 17:48 local time on a bearing of 240°.
Sunrise is over the sea in October–February.
The opposite shore is only about 12.0 km away to the south, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 19 m deep and 34 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 16 m above sea level 500 m inland and 26 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 53% built-up land, 19% tree cover and 17% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 59% of that circle.
