TL;DR
In July-August the sea in Antalya warms up to 28-30°C (82-86°F). If you don't handle heat well, May or September are more comfortable months to visit, including areas away from the coast.
In mid-July, sea water along the Antalya coast stays around 25-28°C (77-82°F), depending on the specific beach and time of day.
On the main Antalya coastline the water tends to be warmer, around 30°C (86°F), while some nearby areas run a couple degrees cooler, around 28°C (82°F).
Heat tolerance is very individual — some travelers feel uncomfortable at 25°C (77°F), while others handle 30°C (86°F) fine. Staying right by the sea usually feels more comfortable thanks to constant breeze and shaded spots.
If you don't tolerate intense heat well, plan your trip for May or September — during these months it's comfortable almost everywhere, not just right on the coast.
