When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.7/10 with highs of 31 °C, sea at 23.5 °C and 6 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 1.3 °C cooler than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.8 °C, warmer than 51% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (110 mm) and August the driest (4 mm); the yearly total is about 640 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 west (268°). Open water fills about 36% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 20:39 local time on a bearing of 301°.
Straight out to the west the next coast is roughly 20 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 7 m deep and 27 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 6 m above sea level 500 m inland and 37 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 66% tree cover and 31% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 66% of that circle.
