Boynuzbükü Bay — A Calm Refuge in the Pine Forest

Aerial view of the pine-clad bays of the Gulf of Göcek — on the Boynuzbükü route

On the winding shore of the Gulf of Göcek, where pine forest meets the sea, Boynuzbükü is a calm stop. It takes its name from the horn-shaped arms of the bay that reach inland ("boynuz" means horn). Well sheltered from the wind, with a shaded shore, it's a favourite place to cool off on hot summer days.

What makes Boynuzbükü special?

The bay's deep inlets keep the water calm even in the strongest afternoon breeze. The scent of pine reaches the shore, and the shaded anchorages are ideal for a lunch stop and a swim. It's perfect for anyone after a peaceful pause away from the crowds.

What is there to do?

Swim in the clear water, rest in the shade and enjoy lunch prepared on board. On NateWhite we don't fix the route in advance; our captain, Birkan, adds Boynuzbükü to your day at the best hour for the weather.

How do you get there?

It's a pleasant cruise from Skopea Marina. Visit on a daily cruise or during a multi-day charter aboard NateWhite. Message us directly for routing and prices.
