Where can families find a gentler sea entry for young children at a Turkish beach with a steep drop-off?

TL;DR

At this beach, the water becomes deep around 3–4 metres from shore. The area to the left of the pier has a more comfortable entry, but it is pebbly, so children should wear water shoes.

What the community said

Families with children and less confident swimmers should expect a steep drop-off: after roughly 3–4 metres from the waterline, adults may no longer be able to stand.

Deep water after 3–4 metres

The more comfortable entry point is to the left of the pier. It is still pebbly and not fully shallow, but it is considered easier than the main access to the sea.

Left of the pier

Water shoes are useful for children on this pebbly beach, making it safer and more comfortable to paddle close to shore over the stones.
