Konyaaltı Beach
Highlights
Enjoy a vibrant city beach experience with crystal-clear water and a stunning mountain backdrop along a modern recreational promenade.
The Azure Arc of the City
Konyaaltı Beach is a spectacular 7km crescent of Blue Flag coastline, where the turquoise sea meets a backdrop of the majestic Taurus Mountains. The beach is famous for its small, smooth pebbles that keep the water crystal clear and perfect for swimming. Behind the shore, the city has created a modern, award-winning promenade filled with high-end beach clubs, sports courts, flower gardens, and cafes. It is the social lung of Antalya, where the energy of the Mediterranean is felt in every morning jog, afternoon swim, and starlit evening walk along the sea.
What Makes It Special
- Mountain-to-Sea View: Offers the most dramatic landscape in Antalya, with mountains rising directly from the west end of the beach.
- Crystal Clear Water: The pebbled floor ensures perfect visibility for swimmers and snorkelers.
- Vibrant Promenade: A world-class public space with a high density of dining and leisure options for all ages.
Visitor Tips
The water is slightly cooler and deeper here than on the sandy Lara side. Use the "Konyaaltı Sahili" walkway for a morning run. Rent a sunbed at a private beach club if you want full service, or use the large free public areas. Wear water shoes if you have sensitive feet for the pebbles.
