What is the beach and water like at Gulluk Bay near Bodrum?

There are handrails to help entering the sea, but they start a bit further out in the water rather than right at the shoreline.

There are pools with slides at the beach area, but the pool water is also cold, similar to the sea.

According to another visitor, the pebbles are pleasant — coarser near the sunbeds but quite comfortable in the water, with some entering without water shoes.

The beach has no concrete platforms — it's a sand-and-pebble mix, with occasional large stones that can be uncomfortable barefoot (water shoes recommended).

A mountain river with icy-cold water flows into the sea near the bay, noticeably affecting sea temperature in this part of the coast.

Waves mix the cool fresh river water with the sea, so water temperature can vary noticeably from spot to spot along the shore.

Despite the uneven bottom and variable temperature, the sea at Gulluk Bay itself is described as beautiful and clear.
