TL;DR
The beach has enough space for everyone, umbrellas for shade, and a pier for jumping in. Food nearby includes meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and baklava.
There are beach areas on both sides of the pier, and there are usually free spots everywhere — on the pier itself and on both beach sections.
On the main beach, the easiest water entry is on the left side, just to the right of the pier: it has small pebbles and a gentle slope into the sea. Other sections are less comfortable to enter, and water shoes may be needed.
The sea entry is good with a sandy bottom. Mobile internet does not work on the beach itself, but there is signal near the beach bar.
The beach is artificially filled (pebble/sand fill), the buoys are set fairly far out, but there is still room to swim.
Sun loungers can usually be found even on busy days — if the first row is full, spots are available in the second, third, or fourth rows.
The beach is open to everyone and has enough space. Those without sun loungers simply lie on the sand. There is a pier where anyone can jump into the water.
Umbrellas are available on the beach providing adequate shade. Changing facilities may be available — check with nearby establishments or beach staff.
Food options near the beach are varied: meat dishes, fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, and traditional Turkish baklava are all available.
Beach volleyball availability was asked about but not confirmed in available reports. It is best to check directly at the beach or with your hotel upon arrival.
