TL;DR
Top picks are Nakibey and Aya Nikola beaches on Büyükada (600–1200 TL depending on the day), plus Noya Beach on Kınalıada (1000 TL). Solar Beach and Goga Beach on the Black Sea coast are also popular but farther from the city.
Nakibey beach on Büyükada island has clean water with no seaweed or jellyfish, shallow entry, and an on-site restaurant. Weekday entry is 1000 TL, weekends 1200 TL, including a sunbed, umbrella, and boat transfer from the island pier.
Aya Nikola beach on Büyükada costs 600 TL on weekdays and 800 TL on weekends, though the swimming area is quite small.
Yörükali beach: the boat from Büyükada pier is free, you pay only at the beach entrance — around 1000 TL for adults, free for kids under 5, and 600 TL for ages 5–11.
On Heybeliada island, the Asaf Bey beach is worth visiting.
Noya Beach on the nearby Kınalıada island charges a 1000 TL entrance fee, closes at 18:00, and doesn't allow outside food or drinks. It has a pool and several tiered, fully equipped areas.
Solar Beach and Goga Beach clubs are located on the Black Sea coast — popular, but quite far from the city center.
