Thousands of Tourists Go to the Sea by Tractor in Marmaris!
Visitors who want to reach İncekum Beach, where private vehicles are not allowed, cover the last 4 kilometers with trailers pulled by tractors. This extraordinary transportation experience attracts thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year.
İncekum Beach, located within the boundaries of Çamlı Neighborhood in Marmaris district of Muğla, draws attention not only with its golden yellow sand and crystal-clear sea but also with the extraordinary transportation experience it offers to its visitors.
To prevent damage to the protected natural structure, private vehicle entry to the beach is not allowed. Visitors leave their vehicles in the parking lot and then reach İncekum by trailers pulled by tractors along an approximately 4-kilometer road. This practice reduces vehicle density in the area and preserves the natural texture.
4-Kilometer Tractor Journey
Transportation to İncekum turns into a different experience right from the first moments of the holiday. The tractor journey through the pine forests creates unforgettable moments, especially for visitors coming for the first time.
Tractors operate nonstop throughout the day during the summer season, carrying hundreds of visitors to İncekum Beach daily. This mode of access to the beach stands out as one of the most important features distinguishing İncekum from other beaches in Marmaris.
Tractor Journey Becomes a Center of Attention
The tractor journey, the most striking part of transportation to İncekum, attracts great interest especially from foreign tourists. Many visitors immortalize the moment by taking photos and videos with their phones during this approximately 4-kilometer journey.
This extraordinary transportation experience through the pine forests is frequently shared on social media. For families with children, the tractor trip turns into an enjoyable activity that begins before reaching the sea.
Many first-time visitors to İncekum state that they found the tractor journey more enjoyable than expected. This unique experience, starting before reaching the sea, stands out as one of the memorable moments of the holiday, especially for families with children and foreign tourists.
The Nature That Makes İncekum Special
After the journey, visitors are welcomed by a natural bay surrounded by golden fine sand, clear sea, and pine forests.
Since the entire sea is shallow for a long distance, İncekum is preferred especially by families with children. Visitors can rent sun loungers or spend the day with camping chairs and their own food and drinks. A facility providing basic needs is also in service within the beach area.
It Was in the Spotlight with a Controversial Project
The peninsula of approximately 180,786 square meters, known among the public as "Pig Pit" and including İncekum Beach, was debated for a long time due to the "Tent Accommodation and Daily Use Area Project" that came up in past years.
The area within the boundaries of the Gökova Special Environmental Protection Area stands out with its statuses as Special Environmental Protection Area, Natural Site Area, Archaeological Site Area, and Important Natural Area.
With its golden yellow sand, clear sea, and extraordinary journey by tractor, İncekum continues to be one of the most unique beaches not only in Marmaris but also in Turkey, thanks to its applications that protect the natural structure and the different experience it offers to visitors.
