The weather was nice, but the sunbeds, changing rooms and toilets were not yet open for the season, so other than that it was nice.

The scenery and the tranquility of the area, which is less crowded than other places, are beautiful. I wouldn't recommend it for swimming because it's very wavy and the sea is rocky. It's a great place to bring a camping chair and relax. I recommend it.

The view and the calm formation due to the fewer people compared to the other content is very nice. It is very wavy due to the recommendations for swimming and the sea consists of rocks. It is a very nice place to bring a camping chair and relax. I recommend it.

We went on a Wednesday. The beach was empty and clean, and there was a parking fee. I asked the employee, and he said the municipality charged it. We paid 400₺ for 5-8 hours, which seemed reasonable. If you don't have small children with you, you can leave them in the parking lot outside and walk. It's a maximum of 1 km. We went to Sofu, but the route was through the forest, but this one isn't like that; you can walk on the paved road. The showers and restrooms are charged, so we dried off before showering and got in the car.

It's our go-to spot when we're bored, always with no shortage of space. Because we go to the side where the rafts cross, it's quiet. There are no sun loungers on this side, and after crossing the raft, it's a bit of a walk, and while the sand can be a bit challenging, it's not a problem for us. The beauty of the sea depends on the weather that day. We think the beach is clean. If we don't pollute it until evening, it will stay clean. Raft crossing is free. There are no changing rooms or restrooms.

Kumbaba Beach is so dirty!

We visited Kumbaba Beach today, but unfortunately, the pollution was extensive. Plastic bags, food waste, bottles, and other trash littered the sand. As you can see, the trash hasn't been collected and has been left in the middle of nature. It's both visually unsightly and a health hazard.

It's truly saddening that this beautiful beach has been left so neglected. I demand that the municipality or other authorities clean more frequently and increase the number of trash receptacles. Please take immediate action.

It's a shame to present such a beautiful place to nature and the public like this!
