TL;DR
Some hotels in the Kemer area have reported plastic debris near the shore. A sewage pipe exits near one pier on the left side — swim to the right of the pier to avoid it.
What the community said
Near one of the hotel piers, a pipe discharging foul-smelling waste into the sea is located to the left when facing the water. It is normally covered by pebbles but surfaces during rough weather. Swimming to the right of the pier is recommended to avoid the contamination.
