Is the sea and beach water currently clean in Antalya, especially at Konyaaltı Beach, or is there pollution and trash on the shore?

One traveler warned that on the left side of the beach (facing the sea) a small stream flows into the sea — sewage runoff from hotels, including Sapphire hotel. Advises swimming to the right side instead, otherwise there's a risk of rotavirus infection.

One traveler noted that the sea near their hotel is indeed dirty, but there's a workaround: entering from the other side of the pier gives cleaner water if you swim a bit further out. Water temperature was described as excellent.

The most recent question asked about the current condition of sea water and general beach cleanliness in Antalya without naming a specific district — travelers wanted to know if swimming was safe and whether there was visible pollution on the shore.

On the same day, travelers specifically asked about Konyaaltı Beach: amid talk of an “environmental disaster,” they wanted to know whether there was currently a lot of trash on the beach or in the water.

Another recent note was about beach access rather than pollution: at one hotel beach, travelers mentioned very large rocks and boulders on the seabed, although entering the water was still possible.

A day earlier, travelers asked specifically about the real-time situation at Konyaaltı, since that beach had also been mentioned in pollution reports and people wanted local conditions rather than just media coverage.

The earliest message asked about water cleanliness at a hotel beach: after media reports, travelers referred to claims that the whole coastline from Antalya to Kemer had dirty water and wanted to know how noticeable it really was.
