Beaches & Beach Clubs

There are several beautiful beaches in and around Kalkan. A very pleasant pebble public beach with crystal-clear water adjacent to the harbour; it (and the surrounding water) has earned a Blue Flag award for cleanliness. The water depth drops off close to the shore, so you don’t have to walk over the pebbles for long. Many cafés are nearby and sun beds with umbrellas are available for rent. Otherwise, hop on a “dolmuş” (a Turkish minibus – cheap, frequent and very convenient) and head for one of the two beaches either side of Kalkan, Kaputas to the left and the 18km ! Patara to the right.
