Konyaaltı Beach
Antalya's western beach with pebbly sand and clear water, stretching along the Konyaaltı promenade.
Konyaaltı Beach is one of Antalya's two main beaches, offering a long shoreline of pebbly sand and crystal-clear water. Backed by cliffs and pine-covered mountains, it's a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The wide promenade is lined with cafes, restaurants, and parks, making it a lively spot from morning until night.
Swimming is the main draw here, but you'll also find water sports, beach clubs with sunbeds, and plenty of space to spread out. Unlike the sandy Lara Beach, Konyaaltı has a pebbly texture that keeps the water remarkably clear. The beach is well-maintained, with showers, changing cabins, and lifeguards during summer.
Evenings here are just as nice—the promenade fills with walkers, cyclists, and families enjoying the sunset. It's a beach that works for a quick dip or a full-day outing.
“A long pebble beach with crystal-clear water and a lively promenade, perfect for a full day by the sea.”
Go early to grab a sunbed near the beach clubs; the sand gets packed by noon, and the waves can pick up in the afternoon.
Wheelchair-accessible wooden walkways exist near the main entrance, but the pebbly beach surface can be challenging for mobility aids.
