There is a 14-kilometre-long shoreline,almost every corner of which could serve as a beach. Çam Lake locality, where sandy beaches meet pine-clad hills in a kind of natural amphitheatre, is seven kilometres to the west.
Yakakent is sister village with Kushimato-Kashino, a fishermen’s village in Japan, and an annual friendship festival commemorating the two cultures is organised in Yakakent.
