Turquoise Coast Beach Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • Beaches along the Turquoise Coast are typically found nestled between rolling hills, in small coves lined by pine forests. Be aware that some are much more developed than others, and many are pebbly and not sandy.
  • From late June through September, Lara Beach, east of downtown Antalya, is the site of an elaborate annual sand-sculpture exhibition. Along with a nearby water park and zoo, this area is a great choice for family vacationers.
  • Iztuzu Beach, south of Dalyan, is also known as Turtle Beach, as it's a protected nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles. Although the gorgeous beach is open to the public, it can be closed when turtles are present. Stakes in the beach mark off-limit nesting sites.
  • The seaside resort of Ölüdeniz means "Dead Sea," but it is better known as the Blue Lagoon, one of the prettiest coastal spots in Turkey. Its wide sandy beach is a popular place for families, paragliders, and adventure travelers.

Beach Overview: Turquoise Coast, Turkey

By Matt Link
Slightly more untamed than other Mediterranean resort areas, the Turquoise Coast's mountains and limestone cliffs create a jagged region that is accessible only by boat in some parts. Not surprisingly, the Turquoise Coast is a major yachting destination, with many tourists taking a "blue cruise" or "blue voyage" on a traditional wooden gulet sailboat for a few days to a few weeks. No matter where you go, there will be beaches, nestled between rolling hills, in small coves lined by pine forests. And underwater enthusiasts will find themselves in heaven on the Turquoise Coast, with World War II wrecks in The Gulf of Antalya and submerged caves in The Gulf of Fethiye. Read More
