Kadıkalesi Halk Plajı
A picturesque, sandy beach nestled between Turgutreis and Gümüşlük, offering a local Bodrum experience despite its small size and occasional crowds.
Kadıkalesi Halk Plajı, located between Turgutreis and Gümüşlük, is known for its lovely sandy beach and clear waters. However, its small size makes it extremely popular during the peak season, leading to overcrowding. While the sandy shore is inviting, the beach can sometimes be marred by litter left by inconsiderate visitors. The open bay location also means it's often breezy, sometimes resulting in choppy seas. Basic amenities like markets and restaurants are close by, and the beach is easily accessible by public transport. Overall, Kadıkalesi offers a nice, though sometimes crowded, beach experience, best enjoyed during the shoulder season when it's less hectic. It provides a convenient spot for a beach day with its proximity to local amenities.
