Kerpe Plajı, Black Sea beach in Kocaeli Province, Turkey
The 500-meter sandy coastline of Kerpe Plaji stretches along the northern edge of Kocaeli Peninsula, offering clear waters suitable for swimming and water activities.
Dating back to the 5th century BCE, Kerpe, formerly known as Kalpe, served as a vital port for British, Roman, Byzantine, and Genoese trade routes.
The beach features separate designated areas for men and women, reflecting Turkish customs and accommodating diverse preferences of local communities.
The beach provides essential facilities including showers, restrooms, lifeguard services, medical team, bicycle parking, and specially designed access for visitors with disabilities.
During September, visitors can watch sunsets from Kartal Rocks while enjoying the warm waters without the summer crowds.
