Limanağzı Bay is a scenic, car-free cove near Kaş accessible only by boat or hiking, famous for its calm sea, sea turtles, and relaxing beach clubs.
Because it cannot be reached by road, this sheltered bay offers a quiet environment and remains highly protected from strong winds.
Bay Highlights and Beach Clubs
Limanağzı is home to several family-run beach clubs (such as Bilal’s Place, Nuri’s Beach, La Moda Beach, and Delos Beach) scattered along the shore. The clubs feature dining, changing cabins, showers, and sun loungers set up on small pebble shores or custom-built wooden platforms over the water.
The bay is renowned for its calm, crystal-clear water. Due to the lack of motor traffic and rich marine life, it is an excellent destination for snorkeling and sea kayaking. Visitors often have the chance to swim alongside Mediterranean monk seals or Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta Caretta) that frequent the bay. Additionally, because of its unique orientation, Limanağzı gets the longest hours of direct sunlight in the Kaş area.
Transportation and Access
As there is no road for cars, you must park your vehicle in the town center or harbor area in Kaş. Water taxis run regularly every 30 minutes from Kaş Harbor to the bay, taking about 15 minutes to reach the clubs. Alternatively, active travelers can hike to the bay along a scenic section of the Lycian Way starting from Büyük Çakıl Beach, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and requires sturdy footwear.
