Altinkum Beach is a serene location nestled within the Ayvalık Nature Park, where the lush greenery of the forest meets the blue of the sea. This unique intertwining of forest and sea creates a tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for those seeking calm and quiet.
The beach is known for its shallow, warm waters, which are often as clear as glass when there is no wind. However, the sea can become blurry when it is windy. The beach has a stony bottom, so it is recommended to wear footwear when entering the water. There are areas with a lot of algae, but these are generally away from the main beach area, which is kept clean.
Despite being located in a Mediterranean region, the waters of Altinkum Beach are not as warm as one might expect, offering a refreshing experience to swimmers. The beach is also a sensitive area against forest fires, and measures are taken to protect it, including restricted access through certain entrances. The private beach before the forest area remains open for visitors.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty of the beach, particularly appreciating the shallow, warm waters and the unique blend of forest and sea. Many visitors also praised the calm and serene atmosphere, where green meets blue. However, some visitors complained about the presence of algae and stones in the water, and the occasional closure of the beach due to forest fire risks.
