8 Very good

The best thing about this beach is the stunning view it offers. The prices for food are reasonable, but the charges for accessing this beach are slightly on the higher side, though not excessively so (180TL per person). You can see the beautiful view from my profile. The staff members are friendly, but unfortunately, there are no indoor showers, which is a bit disappointing. However, there is a changing room available for you to change your clothes.

The beach is absolutely delightful. There's a cozy little Café/Bistro with delicious food and tea, and the views of the Bosphorus and the entrance to the Black Sea are simply stunning.

Altinkum beach is a beautiful and pristine place, with excellent stalls offering local products and clothing, and so on. It is less crowded and more peaceful in the evening, making it the ideal time to visit if you wish to avoid the crowds. Additionally, during the day, there are fantastic boat trips available that are definitely worth experiencing!
