Whenever we visit Balikesir, we always head straight to Cağrıkent beach for a swim. The beach provides clean shower facilities and dressing cabins.
Currently, I am at Cagrikent Beach. The beach consists of stones, as does the sea at the beginning. However, as you venture a little further, you will find sand. The beach provides showers, locker cabins, and an adequate number of washbasins. Please note that the use of these facilities requires payment. Overall, I have observed that the sea is clean.
The digger at this beach is highly unprofessional, as he changes prices arbitrarily and does not provide receipts upon request. On our first day, we did not order any drinks and were not charged, but on the second and third days we were charged varying amounts for tea and table/facility fees. Despite the consistency in people and items, the digger failed to provide a receipt, which is extremely disappointing.
This beach is open to the public and offers amenities such as showers and changing cabins. The sand on the beach is not rocky, but rather sandy. The water is clean, but can be affected by waves at times.
I would recommend this beach for a family outing, but be aware that the first 4 to 5 meters are rocky before you reach the sandy area.
