Is Antalya city beach worth it or should I go elsewhere?
Based on 1 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Antalya's city beach is tiny (~30m), crowded, and not very clean. It works if you're staying nearby and just need a quick swim, but for a proper beach experience head elsewhere or take a boat.
What the community said
Konyaaltı beach has a pebbly bottom, though children still swim there. The entry is very gradual — depth only begins near the far buoys. Morning waves stir up the sandy bottom, making the water murky and dirty.

The beach is currently undergoing active renovation. If your accommodation is nearby and you just need a quick dip, it's acceptable for that purpose.

The beach strip is only about 30 meters wide and constantly packed with people. It's worth the effort to travel to a better beach.

The area is somewhat dirty and cramped. To find decent water quality, you'll need to take a boat or water transport to reach better spots.
