Pullu Nature Park lies in the Anamur district of Mersin, between the shoreline and the D.400 state road that runs west from Mersin roughly parallel to the Mediterranean coast. It is seven kilometres east of Anamur and about 207 kilometres from Mersin, and covers 10.3 hectares. The ground was declared a picnic area in 1980 and a nature park in 2011. It serves 1,500 people as a day-use picnic ground, with overnight facilities for 180 and parking for thirty caravans.
The climate is Mediterranean. The forest is chiefly Calabrian pine and eucalyptus, with plants such as French lavender, marjoram and caper spurge growing among them.
The shoreline holds nesting grounds of the loggerhead turtle, and Mediterranean monk seals can be seen in the sea.
