The best way to navigate between different beaches is by dolmuş — the minibuses run often, stop frequently and are a cheap way to travel. Most beaches in the region are very family friendly and offer sport activities, such as surfing and water skiing.

Kemer

The seaside resort town of Kemer has two beaches. Moonlight beach on one side of the marina, nestled in a small bay surrounded by green hills. On the other side, there's Kemer's public beach, where sun loungers with mattresses are free, there are large umbrellas and clean white sand. Other fine beaches are located north of Kemer in Göynük, Beldibi and Kızıltepe, or towards the south in Çamyuva and Tekirova.
