The beach experience was a complete disappointment. We had planned a birthday celebration, but it turned out to be a disaster. We were charged separately for coke service and cake cutting, and the music abruptly stopped. Moreover, their dogs were scared and caused a commotion. We were so dissatisfied that we decided to leave immediately. The service was terrible, and they didn't even bother to turn on the stove, leaving us freezing. We would have been warmer if we had celebrated on the street.
The beach has a unique atmosphere that makes you feel like you're not in Iskenderun. The sunbeds cost 25 TL, but amenities such as showers, toilets, and changing rooms are free. The beach and sea are clean, and although we didn't try the catering service, it seemed to satisfy other customers. However, the prices on the menu were a bit steep. Despite visiting on a Sunday, the beach wasn't too crowded, and the customers were respectable, likely due to the fee. We didn't notice any major issues, but unfortunately, some people left their trash on the sunbeds despite trash cans being nearby. Overall, our group of three was very happy with the beach and regretted not discovering it earlier.
If you're looking for a destination that offers both historical and seaside attractions, Hatay-Iskenderun is a great choice. This charming city reminded me of my childhood days in Izmir, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The beach is stunning, though it's important not to have overly high expectations. We paid 50 TL for two sunbeds, and our meal of chicken curry, hamburger, and two cokes cost us 70 TL. For two sodas, a mixed bag, a children's ice cream, water, and tea, we paid 70 TL. The sea was calm until 2 PM, after which it became wavy, but we still managed to swim comfortably with our two-year-old daughter. Families with young children will love this spot. It's only a 14-minute drive from Iskenderun's city center, making it a convenient location. If you're considering a holiday or a quick seaside getaway, I highly recommend Iskenderun.
