Places to Swim in Alanya

Cleopatra Beach (West)

Located just west of Alanya Castle, Cleopatra Beach is undoubtedly the region's most famous spot. Legend has it that Egyptian Queen Cleopatra swam here. The beach is known for its fine, golden sand and crystal-clear water. Although the sea quickly deepens, the water's purity has been certified with the Blue Flag. Its central location and stunning views make it a top choice for tourists. Food, beverage, and sunbed rentals are available along the beach.

Keykubat Beach (East)

Keykubat Beach, a stretch of coastline stretching east of the city center, is a favorite among locals and hotel guests in the eastern area. It has a quieter atmosphere than Cleopatra. Its sand and pebble texture is abundant, and water sports opportunities abound along the beach. Its length prevents it from feeling crowded, and it also offers shallow, family-friendly spots.

Incekum Beach

Located in Avsallar, approximately 25 km from Alanya city center, İncekum boasts fine sand that lives up to its name. Its greatest attraction is that the sea remains shallow for extended periods. This makes İncekum the safest and most ideal beach in the region, especially for families with children and beginner swimmers. Surrounded by pine forests, it offers natural beauty and a peaceful atmosphere.

Damlatas Beach

It's located in front of Damlataş Cave, just below Alanya Castle. Geographically, it's considered the beginning of Cleopatra Beach. Despite its small bay shape, the sea is crystal clear. Its central location makes it easily accessible. Damlataş Beach is a great option for those looking for a swim in the cool, clear water, especially in the early morning.

Orange Beach (Oba)

It's a continuation of Keykubat Beach, but it extends more into the Oba and Tosmur regions. Because it's located near the Dim River's estuary, the water can sometimes be cooler than at other beaches. With numerous beach clubs and restaurants, Portakal Beach has a lively atmosphere and is particularly popular with young people.
