Beach Ride
Beach horse riding in Istanbul, on the sand of the Black Sea coast with the waves beside you.
The beach ride starts in the forest and comes out on the Black Sea coast, north of the city near Kilyos. The cool sea breeze and the evening light make it the most special ride we offer. 45-60 minutes for beginners, up to two hours for experienced riders.
Along the shore in the best light of the day.
Two landscapes on one route.
A pace that suits your level.
Pictures on the sand you will keep.
The beach ride leaves the farm, passes through the forest and comes down to the Black Sea shore. The beginner beach ride takes 45 to 60 minutes at a pace that suits first-time riders. For experienced riders, the 90 to 120 minute beach ride is a longer, freer ride along the sand.
After the beach ride you can come back to the farm for a Turkish village breakfast. For a shorter start, try horse riding in Belgrade Forest, or see every route side by side on our horse riding tours in Istanbul page.
