TL;DR
In 2026, Konyaaltı Beach is more relaxed — visitors can freely set up their own umbrellas, towels, chairs and tables. A quieter section of the beach is popular for fishing and paddleboarding.
A quieter stretch of Konyaaltı Beach is rarely crowded — locals fish there and rent SUP boards. A good spot if you want to avoid the busy main beach area.
As of 2026, there are no restrictions on using your own gear at Konyaaltı Beach. Visitors freely set up personal umbrellas, towels, chairs and tables in front of the paid sunbed area. The municipal sunbeds are now positioned further from the water compared to last year.
To see sea turtles, head to Çıralı — volunteers there guide night-time turtle watching sessions when hatchlings make their way to the sea. Independent access to the beach at night is not allowed; you must join an organized group.
