麻豆约拍

Turkey's beaches are changing. Fences, entrance fees, and private clubs are taking over. Locals feel they can't enjoy their own shores.

Even though it's against the law to block sea access, some businesses make it hard for locals to go to the beach without paying. But now locals are protesting, and demanding free spots to lay their beach towels.

Mahmut Hamsici from 麻豆约拍 Turkish explains what's been going on.
