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.

The ocean tends to be wavy due to the north wind, making it perfect for those who enjoy playing in the waves. Despite not being very deep, it is still quite pleasant. When entering the water, there is a buildup of moss due to the waves, but it is usually cleaned out within a couple of meters. The sea is clean and free of garbage or other dirt, apart from some algae. Unlike its cousin, the Marmara, the sea here does not have a foul smell. Our family loves this beach. Let's talk about the mosquitoes, or as locals call them, stinging insects. They are not a major issue here, as they are present throughout the south Marmara region. If you do get stung, it will burn like fire, but the pain usually subsides within a few hours. The weather is fantastic, making you feel invigorated as you breathe in the fresh air. If possible, I would love to stay here year-round.
Orjan Boardwalk beach

The shoreline is in close proximity, with clusters of sea grasses swaying in the waves. Access to the water can be made via a sturdy platform, with the water being quite shallow. However, the aroma of seaweed is not particularly pleasant, so it's best to avoid any areas with sandy patches. A leisurely stroll along the shore is recommended, as opposed to risking getting your vehicle stuck in the sand.
