Asi boğazı is a geographically significant site in Samandağ where the historic Orontes (Asi) River completes its journey from Lebanon and Syria to flow into the Mediterranean Sea. The area is characterized by its raw, natural beauty, featuring a backdrop of the majestic Kel Mountain. Visitors often come here to witness the vibrant sunsets or to set up camp along the shore. During the summer months, the receding river levels can lead to unique grassy formations washing up on the beach. While the site is a local treasure, it remains largely undeveloped and unmaintained, offering a quiet escape for those who appreciate nature in its most authentic and unpolished state.

Asi boğazı is highly regarded for its natural significance as the point where the Orontes River meets the Mediterranean. Reviewers frequently mention the 'captivating' and 'beautiful' views, particularly the sight of Kel Mountain and the evening sunsets. Many visitors note that it is an excellent spot for camping, though they warn that it is a 'wild' site without nearby amenities. A recurring concern among reviewers is the presence of litter and a lack of maintenance by local authorities, which some feel detracts from the area's beauty. In the summer, the river's low water levels create interesting, though sometimes messy, plant formations on the shore. Overall, it is seen as a must-visit natural landmark in Hatay for those who appreciate a rugged environment.
