Cebeci Plajı, Sandy beach in Kandira district, Kocaeli Province, Turkey.
Cebeci Beach is a sandy coastal area in Kocaeli Province along the Black Sea, stretching across several kilometers with soft sand and shallow waters. Pink rock formations line portions of the shoreline, creating a distinctive natural feature.
The area was originally a traditional fishing village on the Black Sea coast before developing into a popular bathing destination. This transformation occurred gradually through the 20th century, while maritime heritage continued to shape the local character.
The beach serves as a gathering place for local families and friends who come to spend time together, especially during the warmer months.
The beach is easy to reach with nearby parking and basic facilities including restrooms and changing areas available to visitors. It is best visited in early morning or late afternoon when it is less crowded.
From this beach you can see Kefken Island, the only island in Turkish Black Sea waters, which is visible from the shore. This rare geographical feature makes the location a special vantage point for nature enthusiasts.
