User reviews
"Sea itself is very good but unfortunately a lot of trash is lying around, also trash in the sea. It breaks my heart that so many people treat nature that way."
Yasin Eren Cakmak
"Nice beach with shallow water pretty far out so it's perfect for the kids. Wish people didn't leave so much trash behind on the beach. Overall a nice place for the family, only gets 4 stars due to people not being clean. Shower, wc and changing room available."
