Latest reviews on Balıkesir's beaches

Akcay Resort beach

6 Tekin "RIZAN" YILMAZ

There are no facilities available anymore. The land is up for sale and the buildings that were once part of the railways are now in ruins. However, there is a small buffet that offers sun lounger service. The only positive aspect is that there is a public beach right in the center of Akçay. It's a nice spot to simply grab a chair, an umbrella, and relax.

Ruins beach

10 Mr. Azurite

Perfect

Guvercin Koyu beach

10 Lynna Valtairn

Very nice

Badavut beach

10 Ahmed Ali (Sparrow)

The beach boasts lovely sand and the water is refreshingly clear, albeit a bit chilly. Nonetheless, it's a great spot for a swim! 😊

Denetko beach

6 Samantha R.

The beach is situated within a secluded summer resort, boasting a vast expanse of sandy shoreline. While the sea may not be exceptional, it is relatively shallow and occasionally has grassy patches. Additionally, the resort provides umbrellas and sunbeds for its guests, so it's best to bring your own if you're not staying there. Overall, it's the perfect spot for families or anyone seeking a tranquil seaside escape.

Imbat beach

10 Kadir Ozan.

The pristine and refreshing waters make this beach a top choice for many. The local government takes great care in maintaining its cleanliness, but it's up to us visitors to do our part in keeping it tidy.
