Iztuzu Beach (Turtle Beach)

Iztuzu Beach, also known as Turtle Beach, is a narrow spit of sand that stretches out into the Mediterranean Sea, forming a natural barrier between the Dalyan River and the open waters. This protected beach, located in Turkey, is one of the most important breeding grounds for endangered loggerhead sea turtles. Visitors can walk along the soft, sandy shores, observing the gentle waves and the serene landscape, while being mindful of the critical nesting sites. The beach’s conservation efforts ensure that these ancient creatures can continue to thrive, making it a significant site for both nature and wildlife enthusiasts.
