"I gave one star for the beauty of the sand and the sunset. There were also sand lilies, but there were also many with crushed green leaves that had been stepped on. It's important to note that the fine for cutting or damaging the sand lilies is close to 400,000 lira.
There are shoes, injection syringes, medicine containers, plastic bottles and lids, and drink cans on the beach. Despite this, I collected a large number of seashells.
I don't think the parking lot has a permit for caravans or tents; it's run by a local family. The area is extremely dirty and littered. The fee was 500 TL in August. Since we couldn't find a caravan park in Amasra, we stayed here and explored Amasra. There's no electricity, but there is water. Unfortunately, some people wash their feet. However, a separate footwashing tap could be installed for those coming from the beach. The area is sandy, so even if it's washed, you have to be very careful to get to the caravan. Since there aren't any designated barbecue areas, they are random. There are cooked onions, plastic bags, ashes, and bags stuck between or stuck in the trees. The fenced-in area is full of garbage. There are beer bottles on the dunes. The parking lot owner comes to collect money. Speaking of garbage, everyone else is responsible :) You can only come here for the sunset and to collect seashells. The restaurant's meatball plate only includes four meatballs, one tomato, and one pepper. The price is 300 TL."
