Kıdrak Beach
A small, pine-shaded cove inside the national park with glass-clear water and a relaxed atmosphere.
Kıdrak Beach is tucked inside the Ölüdeniz Nature Park, a 20-minute walk or a short drive from the main Ölüdeniz beach. It’s a compact cove of sand and small pebbles, framed by pine trees and a rocky backdrop that sets it apart from the more manicured lagoon beach. The water is remarkably clear, deepening quickly just a few metres from shore—ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Basic facilities include a small café and sunbed rentals. Because it sits within the national park, access requires a small entry fee. The beach gets morning sun and afternoon shade, making early hours the best time for a spot. It’s never as packed as the main beach, but in summer the limited sandy area fills up fast.
“A pine-shaded cove with glass-clear water, quieter than the main Ölüdeniz beach.”
