Melenağzı Plajı, located in Akçakoca, is a beach situated 17 km away from the town center. The beach is positioned on the shores of the Melen River, from which it derives its name, and it is renowned for its natural beauty, clean sand, and wide sandy coastline. The sand at Melenağzı Plajı is believed to have healing properties, particularly for rheumatism, adding to the beach's appeal.
The beach is not only a spot for swimming and sunbathing, but also provides areas for camping. However, visitors are advised to be cautious as the sea can sometimes have strong currents and waves, and swimming too far out is not recommended. Despite this, the beach remains a popular destination, attracting a significant number of both local and foreign tourists, especially during the summer months.
The village nearby, also named Melenağzı, has a water supply network, an elementary school, a health center, and a mosque. The village's primary source of income is hazelnut farming, but fishing, corn production, and cattle farming are also common. The village and its surroundings are influenced by Georgian traditions and customs.
While the beach does not have lifeguard services, it does offer food and drink facilities for visitors' convenience. However, it's worth noting that some visitors have left their garbage behind, and there is a significant amount of wood brought in by the waves on the beach. Despite these challenges, Melenağzı Plajı continues to be a popular destination for its unique natural characteristics.
To reach the beach, visitors can travel along asphalt roads, while the village roads are paved with cobblestones. Parking information is not specified.
