Beaches in Kas

Kas has several rocky beaches but they are quite small, however, the rock shelves (or ‘beach clubs’) are wonderful for sun and sea bathing. These are populated by cafes and restaurants which provide free lounges.
Kas has 2 small beaches where you can swim and relax, but the area is home to many larger beaches with more facilities.

Little Pebble Beach: it is located just 10 minutes from the port of Kas, this is a beautiful little pebble/pebble beach with crystal clear waters and safe for swimming. Popular with local children in the summer, who dive off the specially constructed platforms from the surrounding rocks.
Big Pebble Beach: it is located in a small cove just outside Kas and is about a 10-minute drive. The beach is busy in the summer months, but has facilities including a few cafes and restaurants, as well as sunbeds and umbrellas which are free if you order something from one of the restaurants. The beach is quite sheltered, so the clear waters are calm and good for swimming.

Kaputas Beach: it is an absolutely stunning little beach located in a cove where the steep mountains meet the sea.

Seyrek Cakil Beach: it is easy access from Kas in a more chilled-out environment.
There are small restaurants with basic food and drinks, umbrellas, sun beds.

Akçagerme Beach: Akçegarme is one of the best beaches in Kas for families. This small pebble beach has a small water park with slides and a floating dock for kids (or adults) to jump off. The beach is also located in a sheltered bay with calm waters, perfect for children.

Çirali Beach: Çirali may be the beach of Kass with the most epic setting. The way the lush green mountains frame the undeveloped coast is incredible.

Olympos Beach: it occupies exactly the same stretch of sand as Cirali. And you can easily walk from one to the other to see which beach suits your mood.

Hidayet Koyu Beach: Although not technically a beach, Hidayet Koyu is still a great place to enjoy the turquoise waters around Kas. Just be prepared for a crowded place with a club atmosphere. The loud music can be a bit aggressive for people looking for a relaxing day at the beach.

Patara Beach: The municipal beach of Kas is perhaps the best of the rest in terms of public access to the beach within the city limits. Expect a beautiful turquoise sea (as everywhere else) and a small pebble beach. And although it's not exactly a trendy beach, it has been rumored that Kas Municipal Beach is an excellent choice. So you'd better get there early because it can get crowded!
