Are rocky beaches with pier ladders safe for entering the sea with a small child at Turkish resorts?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago
TL;DR
At many pebble-beach resorts in Turkey the sea entry is rocky with large boulders, and the metal pier ladders get slippery — tricky for toddlers, though adults usually don't mind.
What the community said
Pier ladders are slippery: a traveler saw a man fall while entering the water carrying a child. Not recommended for toddlers, but adults usually find swimming from the pier convenient.

The beach is cramped, sunbeds are limited, and large boulders near the water entry/exit can easily hurt your feet, especially in the area under the pier.

Parents asked in advance whether it's possible to enter the sea with a 2.5-year-old — according to other guests' reviews, the rocky seabed makes it difficult.
