Pullu Nature Park

Pullu Nature Park is a protected coastal area in Mersin Province featuring red pine forests and sandy shores along the Mediterranean Sea. The park sits beside the main D.400 highway and combines woodland areas with direct beach access.

This location functioned as a recreation area starting in 1980, then received official nature park status from Turkish authorities in 2011. The designation marked the beginning of formal protection for the area's sensitive ecosystems.

Visitors come here to experience how pine forests and coastal habitats exist side by side in their natural state. The park shows how Mediterranean ecosystems function and why both land and sea are important parts of the region.

The park offers camping options for tents and caravans along with cottage rentals and day-use picnic areas. Planning ahead helps ensure you can secure your preferred accommodation type and visit when conditions suit your needs.

The protected beach serves as a nesting ground for loggerhead sea turtles during breeding season. Mediterranean monk seals also inhabit the surrounding waters, making this location a refuge for marine species at risk.
