Altinkum beach is just lush, really packed in the Summer but you can always get a sunbed! Lovely shallow water to swim in and the lifeguards are there to tell you when it gets deep. Every few minutes people come past selling food or drinks and there are toilets nearby. Close to all the bars and restaurants if you want to come off the beach for a bit
