TL;DR
Generally yes, though the water gets deep quickly. Families with kids from age 5 manage fine. Wild beaches are clean, uncrowded, and have turquoise water.
The Flora hotel in Kemer has three beaches — the far one is recommended: it has a closer bar and a good, easy sea entry. Visited there with a 6-year-old, everything was fine, no water shoes needed.
Tip: to secure sunbeds on the pier, come for an early morning swim around 7am when it's cooler and less crowded. Free sunbeds on the pier can still be found around 8:45am.
For comfortable swimming with kids on Kemer beaches, where depth starts quickly (as soon as 1.5-2 meters from shore), it's recommended to use arm floaties and other swim gear.
The wild beach near Kemer is nearly empty in the morning — fewer than 10 people. The sea is turquoise, and even with light waves you won't get submerged. The beach is very clean with no vendors or litter.
Families with children from age 5 have no issues swimming in Kemer, even though the water gets deep relatively quickly from the shore. Multiple seasons of experience confirm it's comfortable for young kids.
Kemer beaches tend to get deep quickly from the shoreline — worth keeping in mind with very young children. That said, many families return here season after season without issues.
