It had to happen!
The beach road from Seaside aparts,Guvens and the old Dolmas terminal has been closed to vehicle traffic,by the use of metal barriers.
Cars etc now have to use the road behind Seaside,Daphne,Jiva,before coming out alongside Sunset apartments on the nicely newly laid road.
This means the Apartments,Hotels along that stretch now have a private beach no longer accessible,by car,by the countless numbers of Turkish families who by tradition spent most of their summer weekends there.
Seems like the big money has won again.
It will be interesting to see how the council buses cope with all of the cars parked,by the residents of Sunset and Jiva on the road.

I thought something was occurring last week, when various bits of the road around there, were being closed, then open again, it all fits now :(
-
hmmm - feel sorry for the locals who have their barbies there but it will make it much safer for our cycling - assuming bikes are still allowed.
We always ride home on the back road as the seaside one is just too dangerous late at night. Far too many cars along there at times.
and - will it put more pressure on the other end of that beach - near Telmessos?
-
We don't want them clogging up the roads near Telmessos >:( >:(

One of my Turkish friends reliably informs me they discovered a nest of Pokemon around there and set up a conservation area. We also have one in Fethiye amphitheatre too 8) :o
-
Also, a big hole in the road has appeared. Police are looking in to it. boom boom ;D ;D
-
They will move somewhere I guess. Where is the question?
-
I feel sorry for the Turkish families. They are being pushed off so many parts of the beach now. Is it not the same up by the Sat too now?
-
On a serious note, I have no problems with anyone using the beach, the problem I do have, is the rubbish that they leave behind, especially as there are huge bins all along the beach, but it must be easier to get up, go home and just leave your rubbish behind >:( >:(
-
Won't see this again from Guvens :(

I noticed lots of planting along that stretch as well in June. Seems they are trying to upgrade things a little.
-
Yes, they're all being pushed further out. Have some wonderful photos and memories from what is no longer The Last Stop of people cooking on the beach on Sunday evenings. As Dylan said " The times they are a-changing. It's sad :(, but Turks are accustomed to change and no doubt will find a way. ;)

It isnt just Turkish families affected by this move , we recently moved to Koca Calis and have spent many evenings on the beach there enjoying a picnic with our Turkish neighbours setting off out at at the time in the UK we would be packing up to go home, so our pleasure has been affected. Since moving back down to sea level we,ve been able to take the main road way home or the coast road home and I always choose the coast road and I always say " I cant believe this is my front street " Ive loved coming home late at night and seeing families still enjoying the sea and spending family time on that stretch of beach.

I was talking with some guys running the escape bar a couple of years back and they showed me this.
They were certain this would happen.

I have some sympathy for the locals too, but I guess they will need to walk a couple of hundred meters to picnic there now.
But something had to be done to prevent any more pedestrians being injured on this stretch. It seems like a 1/4 mile timed run at some times in the day!

the Road is only closed for around 100 yards or so, and hasn't stopped the locals from "cooking up a storm" on the beach plenty of BBQ action on the beach between the closed off section and the old dolmus parking area. So the after effects will still be there to continue the pride the locals take in their beach cleanliness.
-
I attended a meeting with Mayor Saatçi in 2013 when it was stated that this road would be pedestrianised following the accident when a child tourist was mown down. There have been more hotels built there since then so more tourists so it makes sense to me. They can still picnic and BBQ on the beach they just have to carry stuff down instead of parking on the beach.

Less chance of them cleaning up I guess - if they have to carry it back to their cars/vans.
