We stopped by on the last day of our Didim holiday. We definitely want to return to Akbük. Even though it was a Sunday, it was quiet. Since there are plenty of swimming spots, it can handle the crowds. When we arrived at 10:00, everyone was already heading home. It gets a bit choppy between 10:00 and 17:00, so it wasn't a bothersome wave. At Gülkent Beach, the sun loungers were free and empty. The water is clean. Not too shallow, not too deep, just perfect. You don't have to walk far to get to the beach. Most of the accommodations are apartments.
Update: As planned, we only visited Akbük this year (2021). We stayed at a nearby apartment. We were there day and night. We also had the chance to explore the surrounding beaches, so we decided to stay here again. But this time, the water was very cold for some reason. Everyone had the same comments. The sea is clean, but the first 10 meters are rocky, after that, it's fine sand. It can sometimes be windy and wavy in the evenings. Mornings are much calmer.

We visited with our family in the evening. The sea is generally sandy, with only a few seaweeds. It's pleasant to swim, and the facility has a cafe, restroom, etc. You can also enter by yourself with chairs, etc. There are many families with children. The sunset is very beautiful.

The beach generally has a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. However, it can get quite crowded in the summer months; even walking can be difficult due to the caravans and heavy traffic. Occasional disturbing individuals can be encountered in the mornings and evenings. However, in winter, its quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal place to unwind.

One of Akbük's rare sandy beaches. It's about a 10-minute drive from the center, and the sandy sea makes it easy to swim in. The downside is that the beach is a bit neglected; there's a municipal business there, but it doesn't provide any service. We recommend bringing sun loungers, chairs, an umbrella, and food and drinks.
