Is the beach in Belek Turkey worth it — what is the sand and sea like?

A different visitor disagrees with the negative reviews: they found the beach lovely and felt no discomfort from the pebbles, despite normally being sensitive to unpleasant beach/water conditions.

Wi-Fi on the beach is paid, but mattresses/sunbeds are free. The commenter prefers the shaded area, where free spots and mats are always available.

The beach turned out to be surprisingly poor quality — litter in the water and an uncomfortable sea entry. A first-time experience of this kind for the visitor.

The sea entry is extremely gradual — you have to walk a long distance before reaching swimming depth. Travelers who prefer clear water and dislike sand will feel more at home in Kemer.

The beach was marketed as a proper Belek beach, but in reality it is a mixed sand-and-pebble shore. Walking barefoot is uncomfortable, and clean sand is only laid down in the sunbed area.
