Long Beach is located south of the centre of İskele and consists of a long sandy coastline stretching for approximately three kilometres. The beach is municipal, and admission is free.

The shore is covered with fine, light-coloured sand, and the entrance to the sea is gently sloping, without sudden changes in depth. This makes the beach suitable for families with children and for those who prefer calm waters without large waves.

During the summer season, the municipality regularly cleans the beach, maintains the promenade and monitors the condition of the infrastructure.

In recent years, the Long Beach area has become one of the fastest-developing parts of İskele. Dozens of modern residential complexes with swimming pools, restaurants, fitness rooms and private grounds have been built along the coast.

Supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, bakeries, car rental offices, ATMs and other everyday amenities are located nearby. This makes the area popular not only with tourists but also with people who live in Northern Cyprus permanently.
