Beaches in the city

🪨 Küçük Çakıl (Little Pebble): A tiny pebble beach located right in the center of the city, east of the harbor. The water here is very cold due to underground springs. The beach is surrounded by several beach clubs, where you can lounge on platforms for free by ordering drinks or food.

🪨 Büyük Çakıl (Big Pebble): Located about a 15-20 minute walk from the center. This beach is larger, also pebbly, with very clean and cool water. There are several simple cafes offering sunbeds and umbrellas. An excellent spot for snorkeling.
Beaches on the peninsula and nearby

🏝️ İnceboğaz Beach: Located on the narrowest part of the Çukurbağ Peninsula, about 1.5 km from the center of Kaş. The uniqueness of this place is that there are two beaches facing different directions: one to the open sea, the other to a quiet bay, making it ideal for families with children.

⛵ Limanagzı Beach: This beach is located in a sheltered bay opposite Kaş, and can be reached either by dolmuş boat from the harbor (about 20 minutes) or on foot along a section of the Lycian Way. There are several beach clubs here with good restaurants, sunbeds, and a calm sea.
Famous beaches in the surroundings
-
💎 Kaputaş Beach: One of the most photographed and beautiful beaches in Turkey, located 18 km from Kaş on the road to Kalkan. The beach is located in a gorge, and a long staircase (about 200 steps) leads down to it. The incredible turquoise water and fine light pebbles make this place a truly heavenly spot.
-
🐢 Patara Beach: Located 42 km from Kaş, Patara is an 18-kilometer sandy beach that is part of a national park. This place is one of the most important nesting sites in Turkey for Caretta Caretta sea turtles, so the beach is closed after sunset. The wide coastline, sand dunes, and the ruins of the ancient Lycian city of Patara nearby make it a wonderful destination for a day trip.
