Kumcağız Plajı, Sand beach in Kurtyeri Mahallesi, Turkey
Kumcağız Plajı is a sand beach in the Kurtyeri Mahallesi neighborhood near Kandıra, along the Black Sea coast of Turkey. It runs along a flat shoreline with fine, light-colored sand and rocky sections at each end.
The beach was for a long time used mainly by people from nearby villages, before it gradually became known to visitors from farther away. Over time, local authorities invested in basic facilities to make it easier for the public to use.
The beach is popular with families and couples from the region who come for a simple day by the sea. On weekends, many visitors arrive with food they bring from home and spend the day swimming or walking along the shoreline.
The beach is easy to reach by car, with simple roads leading to the area and parking space nearby. Since waves along the Black Sea can pick up without much warning, it is worth checking the weather before heading out.
A pine forest starts just behind the beach, offering shaded spots on warm days to anyone who wants a break from the sun. The contrast between the dark green trees and the pale sand makes this stretch of coast easy to recognize from a distance.
