Known forBlack Seafreenaturaluncrowded
Kumköy is a quieter, less commercialized stretch of Black Sea shoreline near Şile that locals prefer when they want to avoid the main beach crowds. The sand is fine and the setting is more natural with fewer facilities, which is both its charm and its limitation. Bring your own supplies as there are minimal services on site. It's best accessed by car and rewards those willing to explore a little beyond the main Şile town beach.
