What the community said
The pier has loungers with umbrellas, but availability decreases as the resort fills up — after a few days, shaded spots are nearly gone and only unshaded loungers remain, which makes staying in the sun difficult.

The pier has small round tables next to the loungers under the umbrellas, handy for placing water or drinks. The main beach has no tables — belongings are placed on the lounger itself.

One beach charges 100 lira per car for entry, after which everything is included: umbrella, lounger, picnic gazebo, and toilets. Great value if you're driving.

On the pier, umbrellas don't provide great sun protection. Also, if you leave your spot, your umbrella may be moved by staff. By 7am the pier can already be full, while the main beach still has space.

Loungers and umbrellas are free. Towels are available with a deposit, and swapping them costs extra. Many hotel guests simply bring towels from their room.
