Kurucabük

It is a bay extending northwest between Adatepe Point and Bozan Point. 

The wide entrance of the bay is comfortable, but attention must be paid to the rubble extending from Bozan Point on the starboard side, the rubble of the small Kuruca Island also located on the same side, and the shoals in front of Adatepe Point remaining on your port side.

Generally, westerly winds blowing at the mouth of the bay almost disappear in the middle, but revive from the northeast when approaching the beach section.

It is a bay where those who live at sea for long periods stay for days, perhaps weeks without exaggeration. The facilities are abundant, the climate is beautiful. It is a place where you can find yourself either in tranquility or in activity.

One can anchor at 6-10 meters in front of the shores of the Adatepe peninsula facing the bay and take stern line to shore. This location is for those who love tranquility. Behind, a slope covered with pine trees extends. However, it is far from Aktur in terms of supply. It is the most suitable location in the bay for protection in southerly weather.

In this bay, one generally anchors in front of the beach area of the Forest camp among the pines. There is a long beach area on the shore.

The swimming safety area buoys of the beach extend to the middle of the bay. On the shore, there is a pier of a forest camp and also of Aktur Holiday Village. However, boats cannot berth at these piers.

In the southern part of the beach, there is another small pier, it is shallow. Here, fishermen live with their families all summer. In the morning, you can buy the fish they caught fresh. Fuel tankers come to this area from Datça and supply boats.

Some parts of this bay are sand, some parts are mud. If you want your anchor to hold well, the northern side of the bay is more suitable. It is advisable to anchor at 5-10 meters after definitely seeing the sandy area. We recommend checking the anchor here and making sure it is secure. Although rare, sudden downpours may occasionally occur. The Marmaris-Datça highway passes from the hill right above you.

The cove is sheltered from all weather conditions except northwesterly and easterly.

The seabed on the southern side of the beach is silt, anchor does not hold. Additionally, in this area there are numerous moorings belonging to boats of Aktur Holiday Village residents.

If the anchor holds securely, know that you are in a wonderful location. Get ashore and Aktur awaits you with its restaurants, cafes, excellent walking areas and the local market open three days a week (Monday-Wednesday-Friday).
