Çilingoz Nature Park, Nature park on Black Sea coast in Çatalca, Turkey

Çilingoz is a nature park along the Black Sea coast that combines sandy beaches, dense forests, a freshwater lake, and reed-covered wetlands. The terrain features several connected landscapes that together create a varied space for nature and recreation.

The area gained protected status in 2005 and was officially established as a nature park in 2011. These steps reflect efforts to preserve local ecosystems and coastal nature for the future.

The park serves as a place where both locals and visitors come to experience and understand coastal nature firsthand. You will see people walking, observing wildlife, and spending time in this setting.

The site offers camping, a restaurant, and snack bar on-site, with additional lodging available in the nearby settlement. Visitors should prepare for varying conditions from beach to forest and wear comfortable shoes.

A creek called Çilingoz creates a distinctive phenomenon where it meets the sea, depositing sand and silt in a natural pattern. This forms an unusual natural boundary between fresh and salt water that can be observed.
