Get out, get out, don't come back. It's a place where businesses crush you, confine you to a small area with no showers or toilets. They've even pulled their boats into the free sea area?

Most of the bay is owned by businesses. In short, businesses have taken over 90% of Fethiye. Free space is very limited; even though we went on a weekday, everyone was sitting at the bottom. Naturally, there are no showers. The sea is very rocky. Don't go there without your swim shoes, because we cut our feet. Otherwise, the sea is beautiful. You can go with a chair and an umbrella and spend some time.

It's like a warm, deep blue pool. The initial entrance is rocky and challenging, but the waters beyond are serene. Observing the fish underwater with goggles is delightful. The water is crystal clear. It's wonderful to sit in the cool forest and gaze at the sea. However, businesses have taken over most of the area. There aren't even any restrooms in the public area. People are crammed into a very small area. The beaches should be for the public.

The bay is beautiful but overcrowded, transportation by car is a bit difficult because the road is narrow, and parking is another problem...

It's become a classic for the Fethiye Municipality. By renting the entire beach, they've left a tiny area to their citizens/people. My observations:

- All stones from the rented areas have been transferred/disposed of where citizens enter. There are stones only at the entrance. After 2 meters, there is sand.
In other words, the 1 km long beach is only stony (dense with stones) in the area where the public can enter free of charge.

- Warning to those who will be freediving: Beach's motorized marine crews frequently go to and from the boats and never check to see if anyone is entering or exiting. Diving is dangerous, with an average depth of 10-20 meters.

+ You can swim in any part of the sea you want. We swam in the beach area, and no one interfered, and it's not legally possible.

- Don't come by car, and if you do, don't park near the beach. It's difficult to get in and out because everyone parks their cars randomly and drives off. It's a one-way street. Motorcycles are more convenient.

- For those considering paddle boarding, it is recommended to do so before 12:00 or after 18:00.

- There is no market, no place to shop.
