Beaches in Trabzon: choosing a coast-side outing

Yalıncak and Çamburnu offer different settings for a Trabzon beach outing: one is in the city’s Ortahisar District, while the other is associated with a nature park in Sürmene.

Yalıncak Beach is in Yalıncak Neighborhood, Ortahisar District. The Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality tourism guide places it about 10 km from Trabzon city center. Its sandy area and beach equipment make it a straightforward choice if you want to spend time by the water without heading as far along the coast as Çamburnu.

Çamburnu is a separate outing in Sürmene. The regional forestry authority places Çamburnu Tabiat Parkı on the Trabzon–Rize highway, 55 km from Trabzon. Its park setting means you can combine the beach with facilities such as picnic tables and restaurants.

Yalıncak Beach is a city-side beach about 10 km from Trabzon city center, with a sandy area and sunbeds and umbrellas.

The municipality’s tourism guide also mentions cafés and restaurants nearby. That gives you options for a meal or refreshments close to the beach, though the guide does not specify their opening hours.

Yalıncak is in Ortahisar, within Trabzon, so it suits a shorter coastal outing from the city compared with Çamburnu, which is in Sürmene. For public transport, Trabzon’s municipal transport information includes route 11, serving the Yalıncak and Sahil Peron corridor. Routes and fares can change, so check the official site before you go.

For another outing beyond the coast, Sera Lake from Trabzon offers a different setting.

Çamburnu Beach is in Sürmene, within the wider Çamburnu Tabiat Park area on the Trabzon–Rize highway.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism identifies the beach as Çamburnu Halk Plajı in Sürmene, Trabzon. The regional forestry authority places the surrounding nature park 55 km from Trabzon, 7 km from Sürmene, 6 km from Of and 35 km from Rize.

The park has two rural restaurants, toilets, a mosque, a local-products sales unit, beach cabins and roofed picnic tables. You can plan to spend time by the coast and use the park’s facilities during the same outing.

Sürmene, Of, Çaykara and Rize minibuses pass through Çamburnu Tabiat Parkı and operate continuously, according to the regional forestry authority. The authority does not give a route number or stop name, so check locally before setting out. For a highland alternative, Hıdırnebi Plateau from Trabzon is another kind of day trip.

Swim only at places designated as bathing areas, and check current water-quality information before entering the sea.

The Trabzon Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism directs visitors to the Ministry of Health’s yüzme.gov.tr portal for swimming-water quality and physical and technical information about designated bathing areas. Use that resource to check the conditions for your planned destination rather than assuming they are the same along the coast.

For Yalıncak, consult Trabzon’s municipal transport information for current route details. For Çamburnu, the regional forestry authority describes the minibuses that pass through the nature park, but does not identify a specific stop. The contact number for Çamburnu Halk Plajı is 0462 752 26 50.
