The Most Beautiful Beaches of Kaş
This bohemian and peaceful corner of Antalya is home to some of Türkiye's clearest waters and most stunning coastlines. Here are the must-sees for your Kaş holiday.
Kaputas Beach
Location: On the Kalkan road
Kaputaş is the first natural wonder that comes to mind when Kaş is mentioned. Located at the mouth of a canyon that flows between high cliffs, this beach boasts striking shades of turquoise and blue. Reached by descending approximately 180 steps, Kaputaş is particularly famous for its cool waters, mixed with hot springs. If you arrive early, you can enjoy this unique view without the crowds. Basic beach amenities (sunbeds, umbrellas, and a kiosk) are available.
Patara Beach
Location: Approximately 40 minutes from Kaş center
Patara, one of Türkiye's longest beaches, offers a desert-like atmosphere with its eighteen-kilometer-long strip of fine sand. Patara is not just a beach; it's also a historical site where the ancient city of Patara, the capital of the Lycian League, is located. Therefore, access to the beach is from the ancient city's entrance. Its shallow waters make it ideal for families with children. It's also a major breeding ground for the loggerhead sea turtle, which restricts access after sunset.
Small Pebble Beach
Location: In the center of Kaş
Located in the center of Kaş, right next to the harbor, Küçük Çakıl is, as its name suggests, a small cove. Its beach is entirely made of pebbles, and access to the sea is generally via stairs or piers. Its most distinctive feature is the icy spring waters that emerge from underground. It's an ideal escape for those seeking refreshment on hot summer days. The surrounding cafes and restaurants serve food and drinks right where you enter the sea.
Limanağzı
Location: Accessible by sea only
Limanağzı, reached in about 20 minutes by small boat from the center of Kaş, is relatively quiet because it has no access to land. It boasts a variety of beautiful boutique beach establishments. Thanks to its location away from the wind, the sea is often crystal clear, and the water's clarity is incredible. Whether you're looking for a peaceful day, snorkeling, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the Mediterranean, Limanağzı is an excellent choice.
