Sandy beach, nice and soft, no shells, no rocks, no concrete. There is enough space to launch and land kites safely. The beach is about 200m wide and 500m long. Blue flagged, no other sports activities (forbidden from the government) just kitesurfing is allowed.
Wetsuit is necessary as the water temperature is around 16°C, outside air is hot during the summer (28-32°C). Season starts April until end of October but it is possible to kitesurf during the off-season.
Usually 4-5 Bft. Constant wind turbo boosting from the Greek island Chios directly to Pirlanta Beach. Mainly winds from N and NE. The bay curves making several directions sideonshore. At the center it's onshore so for the beginners heavy to start.
From Istanbul and Izmir: take a bus going to Cesme and find accommodation in Cesme or Alacati. From Cesme take one of the `dolmus` (a shared taxi) to the kitebeach which is Pirlanta.
09-04-29 Unknown: Jack is right, I had to wait almost 3 hours for a dulmush bus thing. The Turkish instructors are rude, and shout at you not to kite because they are teaching. The kiting space is 200m wide, the rest for swimmers and sunbathers only, this beach is maximum 550m long not 1km. I saw someone crash their kite into electric lines and the lines came down, thankfully the person ejected their kite; electric lines are 30m from waters edge. The facilities at the school are terrible, toilets and shower don't work, my young children found a sharp knife in the sand, and lots of rubbish lying everywhere. Don't waste your money going on a holiday here you will be dissappointed!!!

06-05-03 Remko: Good spot! Nice wind it's onshore so for the beginners heavy to start. You can walk in the water for 300 meters and the kitecenter is nice and chill. In july I had 10 out of 14 days wind! Not gusty like alacati
05-10-26 clair bene: i think Jack is wrong.i loved the spot.it was so clean,veryvell organised.Courses were IKO standart.
Boat teacing,Downwind programs were perfect.The beach,club was so cheap.We really enjoyed.
05-09-18 Jack Vasilev: Beach access of 50m. width (the rest is restricted swimming area). Rocks, sand and dirt beach. Straight onshore wind and no room to get upwind. Bad transport from/to Cesme.
One of the worst kitesurfing spots I have seen.
