Altınkum Beach
Altınkum Plajı
The 'golden sands' at the southwestern tip of the peninsula, a string of sandy coves with clear blue-green water. Some stretches remain natural and undeveloped.
Altınkum means 'golden sand.' It lies about 10 km south of Çeşme town, in the Ovacık area, and consists of several linked sandy coves with clear water, backed by pine forests and dunes. Near the main road are beach clubs and restaurants. Further south the beach is more natural, with a free public stretch. In summer, minibuses run from Çeşme to the beach. Because of the north winds from the Aegean, the water is usually cooler than at İlıca, and waves are stronger in the afternoon.
