Is the sea water clean in Kemer Turkey — pollution and water quality
Based on 1 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Kemer's coastline has ongoing microplastic pollution issues reported for several years. Swimmers should wade in carefully and watch their step near the shore.
What the community said
Near the Armas hotel beach there is a drainage outlet that could potentially discharge into the sea, though no active flow was observed recently. A few meters of sand separate it from the water. Still, it's worth watching your step when entering the sea. The buoys are placed close to shore — chest-deep for an adult. Water shoes (coral shoes) are recommended for the rocky bottom.
