Side East Beach
Highlights
Find peace and space on this wide golden shore, featuring natural dunes and ancient ruins scattered along the coastline.
Endless Sands and Azure Waters
Side East Beach is the wider and slightly quieter side of the peninsula, famous for its long, golden sandy stretches and shallow entries. While the West Beach is lined with resorts, the East Beach offers more public space and a high density of active water sports centers. The water here stays shallow for a long distance, making it the safest and most popular beach for families with children. With its modern promenade and vibrant beach clubs, it offers a high-energy seaside experience that represents the best of the Side summer.
What Makes It Special
- Family Friendly: Shallow, sandy waters that are safe for toddlers and non-swimmers.
- Water Sports Hub: The premier spot for parasailing, jet-skiing, and banana boat rides.
- Vibrant Promenade: A wide, modern walkway perfect for a sunset run or an evening stroll with the family.
Visitor Tips
Rent a sunbed at one of the mid-beach clubs for full service including food and drinks. The further you walk away from the town center, the quieter the beach becomes. Wear sunscreen as there is very little natural shade on the sand.
