Ayazma Beach
Ayazma Plajı
The best-known beach at the island's southern end, with fine sand, clear water, and well-equipped facilities, making it the first choice for summer swimming.
Ayazma Beach lies on the island's southwest coast, about 8 km from the town center. It is Bozcaada's largest and best-equipped beach, with soft, fine sand and clear water. The beach has restaurants, and sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented, while some sections are free to use. The water in the North Aegean is fairly cool, so July and August are the best months for swimming, and strong winds often pick up in the afternoon. In summer, minibuses run between town and the beach. You can also rent bicycles, motorbikes, or electric scooters to get there.
