Sıcaksu is a unique beach located near Doğanbey, notable for its natural hot springs that emerge from small caves in the bays and rocks. The hot water is so warm that it is possible to swim in it even during the winter months. The beach is accessible by sea, with visitors often arriving by boat.
Despite its beauty and unique features, Sıcaksu has faced challenges related to waste management and inappropriate behavior by some visitors. There have been calls for increased patrolling of the area by the coast guard and other authorities to address these issues.
Due to its location in the Syrian escape zone, vehicle access to the beach is restricted. Visitors are required to walk a distance of approximately 4-5 kilometers to reach the beach. This restriction, along with the natural characteristics of the beach, contributes to its unique charm and appeal.
Visitor reviews highlight the unique beauty of the beach, particularly appreciating the hot springs emerging from small caves in the bays and rocks, providing a unique combination of sea and hot spring. The island's location near Doğanbey and its accessibility from the sea also add to its charm. However, visitors express concerns about environmental pollution due to waste left behind by visitors, inappropriate behavior from some groups, and lack of enforcement of vehicle restrictions and general patrolling in the area.
