Entry note: National park entry; sunbeds extra.
Belcekız is the postcard view: a crescent of sand and pebble sealing the blue lagoon from the open sea, with paragliders dropping from Babadağ behind. The water stays calm enough for children in the inner lagoon, while the outer edge meets small waves. It gets crowded in peak season, but early morning or late September still feels spacious.
“For the classic Ölüdeniz swim — the lagoon photo every visitor recognises.”
Local tip
Walk the lagoon shore path toward Kıdrak if Belcekız loungers are full — same park ticket, fewer umbrellas.
