TL;DR
In Antalya, beach access is generally understood to be public, while fees usually apply to sunbeds and beach services rather than simply entering the sea. One specific option mentioned is Konyaaltı Beach, which has a pebble shore but one of the city’s best promenades.
What the community said
The discussion suggests that on Antalya beaches, it’s important to check what the fee is actually for: often you’re not paying for sea access itself, but for a sunbed or use of the serviced beach area.

Konyaaltı is mentioned as a specific city beach option. It’s recommended for travelers who want a well-developed seafront: the beach is pebbly, but the promenade is considered one of the best in Antalya.

If you want a more unstructured beach experience without organized facilities, the chat mentions wild beaches. These often require a walk to reach, and some stretches are easier to access only from the water.

A practical point raised in the discussion is that many travelers expect beaches to be openly accessible, so if someone asks for payment, it’s worth confirming whether it’s an entrance fee or specifically for a lounger and beach services.
