TL;DR

Most Kemer beaches are pebbly, but some hotels offer sandy sections or cleared sea entries. Conditions vary significantly by property.

At Galeri Resort (near Justiniano), the beach itself is sandy but the sea entry is pebbly — guests only discovered this upon arrival.

The beach was recently cleaned with an excavator that pulls out large boulders (not fine pebbles) and buries them back into the sand near the waterline. As a result, reaching the entry bridge/mostik has become difficult, and water shoes don't help against these boulders.

At one beach, the bottom is mostly sand with patches of fine pebbles. It's cleaned in the evenings but still tends to be a bit dirty, so wearing water shoes is recommended. Sun loungers are worn out and mattresses are in poor condition — bringing a large beach towel is advised.

Some guests report a mismatch with expectations: they booked expecting sand and a shallow entry, but the sea turned out deep with pebbles — apparently this can happen even within the same area.

At one beach, near the main pool the sea entry is sandy, while further to the left there are small pebbles underfoot at the water's edge; loungers can still be found if you arrive by 8:00-8:30am.

The coastline has three piers for swimmers, allowing them to avoid rocky entry points, while sandy beaches are meant for non-swimmers; areas without artificially added sand tend to have loungers more easily available.

At one beach, the sea entry starts with fine pebbles and then transitions to sand. In some spots there is a purely sandy entry.

The main beach is closed — reportedly due to turtle eggs found there, though no protective barriers are in place. The beach has been relocated beyond the bridge, where the sea entry is very rocky.

At one beach, a nearly stone-free spot was found roughly 10 metres offshore opposite the clock: sand first, then a flat slab. Most swimmers go without water shoes, though a few wear them.

After a few days of waves, pebbles washed into the surf zone, whereas before the seabed had been perfectly clean, firm sand. Bottom conditions can change depending on weather.

The Ruby hotel has a beautiful sandy beach shaped like a lagoon. It is located a short walk past the pier and easy to miss if you don't go a bit further.

The seabed at one Kemer beach is uneven: sand up to knee depth near the shore, then flat non-sharp rock slabs, then sand again followed by more slabs. It is advisable to explore the bottom on the first day before swimming.

Lonicera World Resort has its own beach with a gentle sandy sea entry located in a cove. The neighboring Premium property's beach is not in a cove and has a rocky entry.

The lower tier of one beach has a sandy area suitable for families with children. The sea entry to the right of the wooden handrail ramp has been cleared of stones.

The beach at Kumköy differs from Evrenseki and resembles Çolakli. Staff are polite and attentive, but the beach itself is considered less impressive than nearby alternatives.
