Burc Beach Istanbul Reviews: Price + Things To Do + Location
If you are looking for one of the Black Sea beaches north of Istanbul to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours, I recommend Burc Beach Club.
Burc Beach is one of the most expensive beaches in Istanbul. The entrance fee is 500 lira during the middle of the week and 800 lira at the end of the week, but unlike Solar Beach in Istanbul, it is worth it because there are many facilities on this beach that you can enjoy.

What makes Burc Beach extraordinary compared to other Istanbul beaches?
The moment I entered this Beach, I realized that it was different from other beaches in Istanbul and was better than other beaches.
The golden sands of this Beach were the first thing that attracted. Walking on the soft and golden sands of this Beach gave me a feeling of peace that I had forgotten for a long time due to being in the hustle and bustle of the city.
What are the cons of Burc Beach?
I had taken some food with me to this beach to eat when I felt hungry, but when I arrived, I realized that no one could bring food to this beach. If you have food with you when you enter this beach, they will take it from you. To eat, you must buy food from the restaurant inside the beach.
There is a bar on this beach, but it does not serve alcoholic beverages because, due to the new laws of Turkey, drinking alcohol is prohibited on some beaches of this country.
The downside of this beach is that the sun beds are not clean. I had a towel with me and spread it on the chair so I could lie down on it. I also recommend you take a towel to any beach you go to.
Points to follow while swimming at this beach
The lifeguards always watch out for adults and children swimming in the sea, but sometimes, the natural phenomenon of rip currents occurs on this beach. You can read the text inside the image below to save yourself from it.
