Murat Kurum, Minister of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change, announced that the public beach in Göcek—located in the Fethiye district of Muğla—which had been cleared of boats, is now open for citizens to use free of charge.
'Spotless, free, for everyone'
In a post on his social media account regarding the matter, Minister Kurum stated that the Göcek Public Beach, now cleared of boats, has been put into service without interruption.
In his post, Kurum said, “Let our children enjoy the sea, and let our families have a wonderful time. Our Göcek Public Beach is spotless, free, and for everyone, in line with our Zero Waste vision.”
Number of free beaches rises to 15
According to a statement from the Ministry, with the addition of Göcek Public Beach, the number of Zero Waste-concept beaches opened for free public use over the past two years has reached 15.
Göcek stands out as one of Muğla’s most popular tourist destinations, known for its bays and marinas. Opening coastal areas for public use has long been a key issue on the region’s agenda.
