Uzunkum Beach, located in the Mecidiye town of Edirne, is one of the longest and most pristine beaches of the Saros Gulf.
Story
Uzunkum Beach is located within the borders of Mecidiye town, part of Keşan district in Edirne, on the northern coast of the Saros Gulf. Named after its length, which reaches approximately 12 kilometers, this beach is one of the most striking natural beauties of the region. Thanks to the unique geographical structure of the Saros Gulf, the sea at the beach has a self-cleaning feature. This occurs due to the gulf's connection with the Aegean Sea and the effect of wind currents, which keeps Uzunkum's water quality high. The fine sandy structure of the beach and its shallow sea offer an ideal environment, especially for families with children and those who cannot swim. The region has largely preserved its natural structure, with no intense construction around it. This allows visitors to experience a calm and peaceful beach. The forested areas behind the beach offer suitable environments for picnics and nature walks. Uzunkum Beach attracts local and foreign tourists, especially in the summer months. There are also suitable areas for those who want to camp in the region. The natural beauty and clean sea of the beach also offer opportunities for activities such as bird watching and photography.
