The park is stunning and the beach is lovely with a wide shallow area. There are lifeguards and restrooms available, although there are no showers or changing rooms, which is why I gave it 4 stars. The park has plenty of trees and playgrounds suitable for all ages. There is ample parking space for cars and it is conveniently located within a reasonable walking distance to transportation.
Florya Gunes beach

Aariz Malik.
The Marmara Sea boasts a lovely beach that is under the care of the Istanbul Municipality Administration. The amenities provided are satisfactory, and the beach is kept clean. The sandy shoreline is adorned with charming wooden umbrellas, providing ample shade for visitors. A great restaurant is available for those who want to indulge in delicious meals. The beach is conveniently located near the Florya Aquarium and Florya Mall. Compared to private beaches, the entrance fee is quite reasonable. I recently visited the beach and paid 30 Turkish lira for an adult entry using my Istanbul Card. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but the only downside was that the water wasn't very clean. However, the lifeguard was vigilant and created a safe environment.
Burc beach

This is a great place to stay with a comfortable and friendly crowd. The water is warm and the waves are fun. The only issue is the card system. In order to make purchases, you need to get a club card and add funds to it each time. Even buying something as simple as ice cream or lemonade requires multiple steps. It would be much easier if the owners changed the system so that customers could pay the full bill upon leaving the beach.

The attentive waiters serve fresh seafood and Turkish meze in a stunning beachfront location. What else could you ask for? Don't forget to inquire about the catch of the day - you can't make a wrong choice.
Uzunya beach

Ozan Ertugrul
Uzunya is a great escape from the city, offering a nice beach that can get quite crowded during the summer. You can enjoy a variety of refreshments, including beers, and they also serve delicious meatballs and BBQ. However, it's worth noting that the entrance fee for the beach and the parking fees can be quite high during the summer, which may make you reconsider and go back where you came from. Additionally, the restaurant has a unique pricing policy, so it's advisable to inquire about the prices before placing your order to avoid any unexpected surprises later on.

Today was a terrible experience. After a lengthy drive, we finally arrived at the beach, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any available parking spots. As we attempted to park, we noticed people returning to their cars and hastily leaving due to an announcement made by the police. This incident left a negative impression on us, and I strongly discourage anyone from visiting this beach. The road leading to it is extremely narrow with no room to maneuver, and the behavior of the people there is quite disrespectful and lacking in manners. Honestly, it's not worth the trouble.
