What is the beach like at Royal Side Icon / Atlantis Icon in Side: is there a beach bar with food, and is the sea entry sandy or pebbly?

A recent comparison describes the Club beach as small and somewhat untidy, with debris drifting in and occasional waves. The Deluxe beach is rated much better and has a broader food selection, including soup. At the Club beach, the food is typically burgers, vegetables and fries; alcoholic options are beer and wine.

A recent report adds detail on the seabed profile: depth increases very gradually from shore to around 1.8 m, then unexpectedly becomes shallower again, to roughly 1.4 m farther out. Even a shorter person may be able to stand in this offshore shallow section.

According to a guest report, a fish restaurant/snack venue by the beach is open from 12:00 to 17:00; it is cooler inside, and fish can be seen in the nearby water.

Another August 2026 report describes the sea entry gradient: it's a standard slope, neither too steep nor too shallow, with depth increasing gradually.

Another August 2026 report: the beach itself is small and not great — rocky, with sunbathers packed close together. Swimming from the pontoon is much nicer: you climb down a ladder and go straight into clean water.

Another July 2026 report describes the sea entry as fully sandy underfoot with no stones, and notes afternoon shade on the beach. The bar is right next to the beach.

A guest (July 2026) reports that padded/cushioned sunbeds are available on the beach at any time of day, with no need to reserve them in advance.

The latest practical detail is that photos make the shoreline look mixed rather than fully sandy — a combination of sand and pebbles. This matters for travelers with sore legs or sensitive feet, as the water entry may not be soft sand all the way in.
