Abstract: The coasts of Turkey are losing their natural properties due to increasing anthropogenic pressure. Thecoasts of Kandıra district of Kocaeli province, which is the focus of this study, have protected its naturalbeauty from these processes until now. The study area is located between Pınarlı village on the west andBabalı village on the east, and its total longshore is 65 km together with the Kefken Island’s coasts. Themain aim of this study is to stress the educational tourism potantial of Kandıra coasts which have significantgeological and geomorphological properties and to protect them for next generations in accordance with  sustainable utilization principles. For this purpose, we detailed an undergraduate geography courseabout “coastal geomorphology” with selected forms from the study area. We realized the field works onthe summer months of 2014 and 2015, and examined the literature simultaneously during the study. Thereare many and different typical coastal forms in the study area. Some of these already have a high touristattraction. If the study area gains a protected status like a geopark, all of the coastal geosites will beprotected and the local residents will benefit more from this wealth through tourism.
