The beach is fantastic and considered one of the best spots for swimming in Sinop. The admission fee is 40 TL per person, as of August 28, 2023. You have the option to rent sun loungers and umbrellas, and there are also dressing cabins and toilets available.

When visiting Sinop, one of the must-see places is the beach, although we hope it could be better maintained.

I had a great time at this beach. Despite the water being refreshing after the storm, there were plenty of activities to keep us entertained. The admission fee is 15 TRY.

The beach was tidy and well-maintained. We had to pay an entrance fee of 15 liras for two adults, along with an additional charge of 10 liras for an umbrella and 15 liras for a beach chair. Unfortunately, there were no showers available. Although outside food and drink were not permitted, many people were still bringing their own. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any toilets around. On the bright side, there were numerous changing rooms available. The beach itself is on the smaller side and has a rocky terrain. Unfortunately, there were quite a few dead jellyfish this time. However, parking outside was abundant, and people started arriving around noon.
