Ayazma Beach
Reading the place
Not one monument, but a layered setting.
Ayazma is a Bozcaada beach known for its cool water and long sandy shore, a seaside pause between neighbouring coves, the island town and its vineyards.

Place
Ayazma can be a starting point for exploring Bozcaada's coast. Nearby Sulubahçe lies between Ayazma and Habbele. These neighbouring shores offer different settings: Ayazma has beach services, while Sulubahçe has no day-use facilities of its own. Their closeness does not make them interchangeable stops.
Time
A beach day can connect with [Bozcaada's castle and vineyards](/en/envanter/canakkale-bozcaada-tenedos-kalesi-ve-osmanli-baglari). Resting by the water and waiting for grapes to ripen follow different rhythms. Returning from Ayazma opens another way to explore the island, beyond a single beach view.
Community
Sunbeds, umbrellas and places to eat along the road are part of Ayazma's summer life. They help make the shore a meeting place for people coming from the town and visitors staying for the day. Opening periods and services can change, so check what you need for your travel date.
Today
Bozcaada's official transport guide describes minibuses towards Ayazma as a summer service. Check current departures rather than assuming the summer timetable applies in other months, and consider wind and sea conditions on the day. After the beach, you can continue exploring [Bozcaada's streets](/en/district/canakkale/bozcaada).
