Kabatepe Plajı

Kabatepe Plajı, located in the town of Eceabat in Çanakkale, Turkey, is a popular beach and camping area. The beach is nestled in a forested area, lending to its natural beauty, and is known for its clean, clear water and sandy shoreline. The beach is also characterized by its shallow depth, making it an ideal spot for families with children.

The extensive coastline of Kabatepe Plajı provides ample space for both tent and caravan camping, with the beach being situated right by the sea. This allows visitors to enjoy the dual pleasures of swimming and camping simultaneously. However, it should be noted that the camping area is quite basic, with no facilities such as toilets or changing cabins available on site. As a result, visitors are encouraged to bring their own food, drinks, and camping equipment.

Despite the limited facilities, the beach does offer several amenities for its visitors. Sunbathing umbrellas are available at the beach, and there are also areas under the shade of pine trees by the sea where visitors can enjoy their meals. Additionally, the beach is equipped with showers, offering some level of comfort to its visitors.

The beach has an entrance fee, with different rates for drivers and passengers. However, visitors should be aware that making fires in the campsite is not permitted.

The beach's location in a forested area means that reaching it may involve traveling through a gated area in the woods. Visitors should also be aware that there have been instances where the beach was closed without prior notice.

Despite its relative seclusion, Kabatepe Plajı can get crowded, especially during peak holiday seasons. The beach's natural beauty, coupled with its unique characteristics such as the remnants of a war, with holes dug into the ground still visible, makes it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.
