Can you walk along the beach past private hotel sections in Alanya, Turkey?

TL;DR

Many hotels in Alanya guard their beach sections — security may stop you from passing through. Walking along the waterline is sometimes tolerated but not always.

What the community said

One visitor walked along the beach up to Ruby beach and along the pier without any issue; friends walked even further along the waterline in both directions and nobody stopped them.

For hotels located on a hill, there's a workaround if climbing back up after a beach walk is difficult: stand on the road facing the sea, go around the fences on the right side to reach a wild beach, walk along the shoreline to your hotel's beach, and enter through it — there's an elevator there, avoiding the steep climb.

Kolibri hotel has a decent small beach with calm waves, suitable for children. However, the security at the neighboring property stopped walkers at the pier and only allowed photos from there.

In September, security at Movenpick, Gural, and Rai hotels closely monitored outsiders on the beach — sometimes escorting them within meters. Walking along the waterline was possible, but the sunbed areas were off-limits. At Nirvana hotel, access was blocked entirely except for the pier.

Incekum Park (national park) charges around 80 lira per person entry. The beach has an unusual crater-like landscape and is popular with Turkish families; camping is available. You cannot reach it along the beach — a guard blocks the way and you must go around via the road. The return walk along the highway sidewalk is unpleasant due to heavy traffic.
