Things to do in Antalya, Turkish Mediterranean Coast: The Best Beaches

March 26, 2022 Merry Kessler

Antalya is the fastest-growing city in Turkey, and tourists from around the world are discovering its fabulous mix of great beaches and traditional Turkish culture. Kids will love the Beach Park, which features Aqua Land (a waterslide-fanatic's dream) and Dolphin Land (home to dolphins, sea lions and white whales). Make sure to explore the old town center and to see Hadrian's Gate.

Kaputas Beach

Reviewed By RoyaleOne - London, United Kingdom

To get to this beach is directly on the D400 coastal road, amazing views! Depending on what direction you are coming from there is a little bridge connecting 2 mountains, looks spectacular. To access the beach you must walk down around 200 stairs which isnt too bad. Disabled people in a wheelchair cannot get here which is a real shame, disabled access would be a plus. I have a disability but used a walking stick to help me which wasnt too bad. You are able to rest on a small foot bridge halfway down and admire the beauty of this beach cove. There is a changing area, toilets and showers with mirrors and a place to wash hands. There are signs to wear mask and there is sanitiser to use freely. Once you get to the beach however, there are big stones and pebbles so be careful when walking, as you get closer to the sea, it turns to sand, not the softess but nice nontheless. The sun loungers are not that comfortable so be sure to bring comfy towels to lie on for extra cushioning. It is HOT down there and the sea is crystal clear with visible tiny fish so bring a snorkel kit if you like. Its best to get there early if you want a nice view and have unobstructed views of sea, best times is to get there b4 9am so you can get a nice spot without rushing. All in all a great relaxing beautiful beach, a must visit if you are in Kalkan.

Konyaalti Beach

West of Antalya proper, at the end of the tramway line, stretch miles of shingle beach known as Koyaalti. The sand is grayish but quite fine with many restaurants and cafes. The backdrop of the Taurus mountains and the cliffs on either end form a breathtaking scene for a day of swimming and sunbathing.

Super cool long beach. You can enjoy the sea and sun or go for a long walk, ride bicycle along the coast, enjoy the many cafes and restaurants.

Lara Beach

Approximately 10 miles east of the city proper you’ll find the second of the two closest and most popular beaches of Antalya. Lara Beach is a blue flag beach, which is the European category for exceptionally clean beaches and clear water.

Mermerli Beach

Reviewed By betterthanbest25 - Island of Malta, Malta

This restaurant will leave you mind blown with their spectacular views of Antalya. Located just in the old town, right next to the marina, Mermeli Restaurant is the perfect location for a few drinks or a long lunch! It even has its own beach with sun beds over the water, where you can cool down from the heat or rest ????????‍♀️ The staff are super friendly and the service is very good. Food is worth the 4 ⭐️‘S but some might say it could improve slightly ???? If you visit Antalya, Mermeli Restaurant is a 100% must! It is better than best.

BLM Beach

Reviewed By pantealove

If you are in Antalya, you dont want to miss this place. There is a fee to get in. Then you ride an elevator with view down to the beach They have the most comfortable beach beds and shades for every single bed. The place is amazingly clean and the staff are great. Truly amazing service. The food is great and they make it the way you want it. There is a live dj and they play real good music. The location is less windy then any place in antalya so the water is really calm. They also have a cold water little pool which can make a hot day into a healthy relaxing one. You dont want to miss this place.
