What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Yalanci Bogaz Causeway is a highly-rated local beach known for its beautiful, calm, and clear waters, offering a peaceful escape. Visitors appreciate the option of free access or paid amenities, and the unique experience of small fish nibbling in the shallows. However, the need for cash payments at cafes and the distance to the nearest markets are recurring points of consideration.
"Can’t complain much! The place is big and has pretty much everything — you can even take a real shower. You can go the free route with just an umbrella, or pay 140 TL per person for the full setup. The only little hiccup for us was the coffee or food— cash only, which we’re not used to since most places take cards. Otherwise, it’s a really nice spot."

"It is one of the beaches loved by the local people of Marmaris. Always praise from people👋🐚🏖️I would hear 😇😍🥰. I finally had the chance to go this season. But hey, it was truly beautiful and wonderful 🌊I loved it. The sea has both sandy and stony areas 😎The public beach is a bit small🏖️. But there are also many places with sun loungers and beds for a fee. Fees change. Prices for hotel rooms start from 250 TL 💵You can choose the parts managed by the municipality between 100 TL and 1000 TL.
But it is truly one of the wonderful beaches that must be seen and experienced.
The only problem is that there are no markets around them. Even the nearest grocery store takes 30 minutes to go"

"Very nice beach - calm, spacious, beautiful crystal clear water, fantastic view, all prices are upfront, and less people who smoke. There is some funny fish that bites you a bit if you stand for a long time in shallow waters.
I wish there were separate areas for people who smoke and who do not. Maybe this can be implemented next year?
I also wish people put more effort in cleaning after themselves - we started every day with 5 minute of cleaning the area close to our beds from cigarette butts and some other miscellaneous stuff. It’s the least we can do to keep this beautiful place in a good shape.
The beach gets cleaned, but the easiest way to keep nature clean is simply not to leave trash at the first place :)"
