Although the water is beautiful, the sea is very rocky and it's very difficult to swim. It's even difficult to stand upright, and the stones are very slippery. I think there are better beaches than this one. It used to be very crowded, but not many people come anymore.

It's a rocky area. Therefore, water shoes are a must. Also, to truly appreciate its beauty, you should definitely bring equipment like a mask, goggles, and a snorkel. The world under the sea is breathtaking.

You can dive with goggles and fins and watch the fish in the clear water. They charge 150 lira for parking, and some people leave a little further behind.

The sea is very clear, although a bit rocky. Prices are more affordable than in many cities. The sunbed fee is 200 TL, which is cheaper than in Aegean towns. For those who want to dive, you are in the magnificent Gökçeada underwater park.

It's a wonderful place, I definitely recommend it, especially at night, the stars look amazing. The lucky secret harbor is Laz Bay. Aydıncık beach. I visited all of them, but I had the most fun here. There are also nice activities at Aydıncık beach, surfers, etc. The island is absolutely wonderful.
