It is one of the warmest waters in Foça, but the water is muddy and not very clean. It is shallow compared to Foça, but when we went there were a lot of fish. Prices in the cafeteria are reasonable. Umbrellas and sunbeds for 2 people are 600.

The beach and the business are beautiful, the sea is clean, the prices are very reasonable because it is a municipality business. Tea is 15 sol, potatoes are 130, nescafes are 50. There is not only sand but also pebbles, you need to wear slippers to enter the sea.

As its name suggests, Karaku sand is different from the sand I'm used to. The beach's water is a bit muddy, probably due to the constant wind. It's a shallow beach; I actually walked in about 50 meters of water. It was July, so the sea was warm, and I'm not a fan of warm seas. But it's still enjoyable. I recommend it.

The sea in Foça is already rocky, so getting in is difficult. Sun loungers cost 300 TL per person. They also allow one shower. It's run by the municipality, so the prices are very reasonable. There's not much variety, but it's convenient. The restrooms are very dirty, and they need some improvement.
Because it's the municipality's location, of course, there's a lot of people coming and going, and the sea is like a mess. It's okay for a swim. The sun sets right in front of you, and you're in the sun all day; the sunset is magnificent.

When we visited during the weekday, despite it being summer vacation, it wasn't crowded. This is considered a family beach. We easily found a spot on the sun loungers. They charge 300₺ per adult for a sun lounger and umbrella. They didn't charge my 4-year-old daughter. When you hand your entry ticket to the cashier, they add a one-time shower pass to your card. If you're taking an outdoor shower, you pay 10₺. Because it's a municipality, the prices are reasonable, but don't expect anything fancy. The hamburgers are typical supermarket staples. The menu also includes toasted sandwiches. The staff are helpful and friendly. There are also booths for those who prefer them; I think they were around 2500₺.
The sea is warm, even warmer than Foça. It's shallow, and you can even walk around the pier to the other side. It's an ideal, life-saving spot for children and families with children. BUT, the water seemed murky and muddy. There were broken glass pieces on the beach. I picked them up. Apparently, people come and sit in the evenings after sunset. We do what we do, and we have to be careful and attentive. What can we say to anyone?
