This beach holds sentimental value for me, and my family goes camping here every year. However, it's disheartening to see the large number of people who leave their garbage behind. It seems like the local authorities are neglecting the cleanliness of this place.

The municipalities have overlooked a certain area where the road from Karabiga has been left unbuilt for half a century. During my childhood, this place lacked any houses or visitors, with only a few tents scattered around. The surroundings were relatively cleaner back then, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. Although this place has been discovered in recent years, it has unfortunately been neglected. If the municipality had the desire, they could transform this place into something magnificent by constructing the necessary roads. However, it seems that their vision is nowhere to be found.

The beach has a wonderful sea with clean water; however, there was some litter on the beach. It would greatly improve the experience if visitors could refrain from leaving their garbage behind.

If you're coming from the Karabiga side, the road is in really bad condition. It's so terrible that it feels like the front of your car might fall apart. It's better to approach through Aksaz village. The sea is actually clean, but there's a lot of sand mixed with large stones as you enter. If there's no wind, there won't be any waves. The beach consists of both sand and pebbles. I can't really say it's clean though, because unfortunately, people don't know how to pick up after themselves and leave their garbage behind. No one really appreciates the beauty of this beach. There are areas where you can set up tents or stay in bungalows. The fee for a bungalow is 250 TL per night, while camping is free of charge. There's no entrance fee, but you'll have to pay 2 TL for using the toilet and shower facilities. The showers are cold and the toilets are quite dirty and old. There are options available for food and drinks. It tends to get crowded on weekends. Around 8 or 8:30 in the evening, a swarm of mosquitoes comes in from the sea, making it difficult to enjoy yourself without getting bitten. You often have to wait for about an hour and a half before they finally start to disperse, leaving only a few behind.
