This number is scheduled to increase soon, as 3 new popular beaches will be opened at the end of 2026 in Sinopapılı, Samsun Yakkent, and Bitlis Adalgüz, bringing the total number of free popular beaches in Türkiye to 23 beaches.

The General Manager of TURAŞ, Mustafa Engin Akkaya, explained that popular beaches are not just spaces that provide access to the sea, but rather are available and sustainable public investments that support social life. He pointed out that the beaches located in Antalya are very popular with local and foreign guests alike.

The scope of demand for popular beaches is expanding to include large tourist areas, as interest extends from Cesme to Bodrum, and from Marmaris to Belek, which reflects the growing demand for these free facilities with the advent of the summer season.
