You are in Fethiye. As the sun rose, so did the air temperature. The water of the sea you enter in Fethiye's bays, reminiscent of paradise, feels warm to you. You really need to cool down. Then Soguksu Bay is just for you.
Soguksu Cove is a small cove located in the Fethiye district of Mugla in the southwestern region of Turkey. Moreover, it is an untouched cove that has preserved its beauty. Because it is not possible to reach the beach by road. The dirt road leading to the upper parts of the beach is a very rough road and it is a challenging road for the vehicle below you. An alternative way for those who want to reach here is to climb Kayakoy and walk down the path in the forest. This walk, which will take at least 30 minutes, is full of dangers due to the steepness of the path.
The most comfortable way to reach Soguksu Bay is to charter a yacht.
A bay that campers also love
The bay has a sandy-stony beach about 50 meters long. The upper parts of the beach are completely forest. It is possible to set up a camping tent on this beach. However, there are no facilities to meet the needs such as toilets, showers and fresh water. Those who want to camp should come fully-fledged, as going down to the beach with a lot of loads including water on your back from the paths will increase the risk of falling or being injured on the way if you do not have enough trekking experience. Still, this is a place camping enthusiasts will love. Especially at night, since there is no artificial light source in the bay, it is an invaluable pleasure to watch the stars in the sky in their full brightness and listen to the sound of the waves right at your feet.
Water temperature is 10 degrees colder
Soguksu Bay got its name from the fact that its water is really cold. Groundwater infiltrating from Kayakoy mixes with the sea from the rocks near the shore and causes a decrease of approximately 10 degrees in the temperature of the water in the bay. In fact, it can be clearly felt that the water in the bay is colder in some places. So much so that while swimming in normal temperature water, you suddenly find yourself in a cold body of water, when you take a few strokes and get away, the temperature returns to normal again. This feeling gives a person both vitality, coolness and great pleasure. Even jokingly, many people say that staying in this cold water for 15 minutes makes you 15 years younger.
Extremely clear sea
The water of the bay is very clear because the cold water source constantly cleans the sea and the seabed is pebbly. You can see a lot of fish at the bottom without even wearing goggles. It is an amazing feeling to swim with the fish in this calm, clear and cool water.
