After the beach and the clifftop had been secured, they were reinforced by the 1st Border Regiment and the 1st Royal Inniskilling Fuseliers. When the Turks, who had been completely surprised by a landing at this spot, started to react, a field gun firing from Krithia was silenced by Implacable and all other opposition was quickly overcome. Before noon, Hill 114 (Karacaoglan Tepe) to the south  was captured in a combined action with the Lancashire Fuseliers at W Beach..

Access : The easiest way to reach X Beach is via Seddulbair.

When you enter the village, turn right behind the Ataturk monument in the small town square. This road leads out of the village and takes you 1 km further to Lancashire Landing Cemetery. Some 300 m ahead, just beyond the now abandoned military camp, it makes a wide curve to the right and follows the coastline in a north-eastern direction. Keep following the road for another 500 m until you see a cart track at he left hand side of the road, going down to a small, narrow beach. This is the original 1915 road, constructed shortly after the landing, to bring supplies to the frontline. The beach, which is less than 200 m long, is X Beach.

Things to see : Apart from the track leading down to the beach, hardly any traces remain of the campaign. 

Perhaps the most interesting view can be had from the road, on top of the cliffs : north-east is Alcitepe, the former village of Krithia, which was never conquered. In the distance, not so far beyond, one can see Achi Baba. To the east the Monument at Morto Bay is clearly visible (with S Beach) and the town of Seddulbair (with V Beach). To the south, at the tip of the peninsula (with W Beach), just behind Lancashire Landing Cemetery. In the morning of 25th April 1915, three Allied landing forces were ashore, without anything but virtual Turkish opposition : at X Beach, at Y beach to the north and at S Beach to the east. From your viewpoint at X Beach, it is hardly comprehensible that no Allied advance was made in the direction of Krithia. Such a move would probably have drawn Turkish forces away from the hard-pressed Allied troops at V Beach and W Beach, or , if successful, could even have cut the Turkish supply lines and isolated the entire tip of the peninsula.

At the left side of the road, there is a shallow depression that follows the line of the cliffs. It is now hard to find, as it is completely overgrown, but in the later part of the campaign, this terrace was generally known as "Officer's Walk". Because of the perfect protection it offered against incoming gunfire, a long line of "luxurious" dugouts was constructed here to provide winter accomodation for British officers.
