Do you need water shoes at beaches in Turkey?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
Yes — many public beaches in Turkey have concrete entry points into the water, and waves can cause serious cuts to bare feet, so bring water shoes. Beaches are typically public and free to use, though sunbeds may not be provided.
What the community said
Trip was great overall, but a warning: bring water shoes. The sea entry is concrete, and a wave knocked the traveler over, causing serious foot cuts.

The beach near the hotel is a public city beach, not a private hotel beach — worth checking sunbed availability and pricing in advance.

At this public beach there are no sunbeds and no entrance fee — travelers simply laid towels directly on the sand.
