TL;DR

Side is often recommended for its gently shelving beaches and walkable resort atmosphere. However, recent reports mention small plastic debris and possible water-quality concerns along the Side, Kemer and Alanya coasts, so check up-to-date reviews for the exact beach before booking.

What the community said

Side is suggested for swimming because many hotel beaches have a gradual entry into the sea. It also offers cafés, live music, shops and walkable access to Ancient Side.

Small plastic debris has previously been reported at Beldibi and Tekirova beaches. Travelers prioritizing water cleanliness should read the newest reviews for their exact hotel beach rather than relying on Kemer-wide information.

Reports of small plastic debris were not limited to Kemer; travelers also mentioned Side and Alanya. If the sea is the main reason for the trip, choose a hotel with recent beach photos and nearby alternative beaches.
