Kadikalesi Beach

Kadikalesi Beach is located on Turkey's Aegean coast in a sheltered bay with extensive resort and residential development. The coastline faces westward into a protected bay with minimal wave exposure. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense infrastructure including hotels, marinas, and residential compounds. Multiple jetties and boat anchorages indicate active marine traffic. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than well-formed waves, consistent with the low average swell of 0.58m. Wind reliability at 13.7% is notably low, suggesting this location is sheltered from consistent wind patterns. The bay configuration provides side-shore conditions primarily from northerly winds. This spot suits beginners due to shallow, protected waters and minimal wave activity, though low wind reliability means sessions may be infrequent. Kiters must navigate around marina infrastructure and boat traffic. The crowded development and choppy water conditions make this better suited for learning flat-water skills rather than wave riding.
