When to go
The beach-day index peaks in May–June and September–October; June scores 9.5/10 with highs of 31 °C, sea at 25.4 °C and 20 mm of rain.
In June that is 0.5 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 4.1 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 22.5 °C, warmer than 70% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (99 mm) and July the driest (6 mm); the yearly total is about 610 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.7 hours in June; in mid-June the sun rises at 05:16 and sets at 19:56 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-east (140°). Open water fills about 42% 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 August–May.
Straight out to the south-east 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 18 m deep and 27 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 15 m above sea level 500 m inland and 20 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 49% built-up land, 25% cropland and 14% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 48% of that circle.
- Built 49%
- Crop 25%
- Tree 14%
- Grass 10%
