TL;DR
Antalya beaches can be dirty at the start of the season — expect debris, sticks, and stones on the sand. Çamyuva area is considered nicer, though the waterline has large rocks.
Near the pier area, entering the water from the rocky section leads to clean sand further out — a workable option despite the rocky entry.
Even 5-star hotel beaches in Antalya were found unprepared at the season's start — sand littered with debris, sticks, and stones. Beaches had not been properly cleaned before the season opened.
Beach sand in the area is generally dirty, but Çamyuva stood out as a more pleasant spot. Note that the water entry there is rocky and can be rough on bare feet.
