Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Foca beach (Izmir) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Foca beach (Izmir) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Foca beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

During peak times such as holidays and weekends, the beach can become quite congested. However, our curiosity was piqued when we noticed a long line of parked vehicles along the roadside for nearly 200 meters. After venturing along a path for a few hundred meters, we discovered a stunning cove. Although it was crowded due to its free admission, we were still able to enjoy the beauty of the bay and swim in the sea, despite the disorderly presence of other beachgoers.

Unfamiliar with the area? No worries, just park your car on the side of the road and take a quick 5-minute walk down a scenic pathway to the beach. The crystal-clear waters are serene and the beach is adorned with smooth stones. While camping is an option, be aware that the area tends to attract rowdy party-goers at night and there are no restroom or shower facilities available. Weekdays offer a peaceful escape, while weekends tend to be bustling with activity. One of the best aspects of this beach is that it is family-friendly and still relatively undiscovered by the masses, although it may not stay that way for long as it has potential to become a popular tourist destination. Hopefully, the local government will prioritize the needs of the community over commercial interests.

I hope you are able to find some solitude as the beach tends to get crowded quickly. During our visit, a group was diligently working to clean up the litter left behind by others. The tranquility of the early morning, around 8 am, was breathtaking. The natural surroundings, including the sea and air, were stunningly beautiful. To access the beach, you must park your car on the side of the road and walk inward. Alternatively, there are other entry points from nearby fields.

If you're unfamiliar, parking your car on the roadside and making a brief descent of approximately 4 to 5 minutes will lead you to a secluded beach that's off-limits for camping. While not ideal for pitching a tent, the pristine waters are free from contamination and the surrounding foliage is breathtaking. The cove itself is rather petite and lacks shade, but the sand is pure and the shoreline is dotted with smooth rocks. Adjacent to the beach is a reed-filled campground.
