The Best Beaches Around Türkler, Konaklı & Avsallar

The beaches are the whole point for many visitors to this stretch of coast — and the good news is there's plenty of choice, from the famously gentle sands of İncekum to the resort beaches of Türkler and the mixed sand-and-pebble shores of Konaklı. Here's an honest guide to the best beaches around Türkler, Konaklı and Avsallar: what they're like, which suits families, and what to know about sand, pebbles and costs.

İncekum (Avsallar) — best for families

The standout. İncekum — "fine sand" — is known for exactly that: soft sand and a gentle, shallow entry into the sea, which makes it one of the best family beaches on the coast. Little ones can paddle safely, and the calm, gradually deepening water takes the worry out of swimming with children. If a sandy, child-friendly beach is your priority, this is the one. It's in the Avsallar area.

Avsallar's wider coast

Beyond İncekum, Avsallar has a long sandy coastline with both public and hotel beach areas, cafés along the front, and a relaxed feel. Plenty of room to find your spot, and the sandy seabed is kind for swimming.

Türkler — resort beaches

Türkler's beaches are mostly attached to its big all-inclusive resorts, with that step-from-the-pool-to-the-sea convenience. If you're staying at a Türkler resort (including the Eftalia hotels), your beach is likely right there, with loungers and facilities laid on. See the Türkler guide.

Konaklı — mixed sand & pebble

Konaklı's coast offers a mix of sandy and pebbly stretches, with hotel and public beaches. Some spots are lovely and sandy; others are pebblier, so beach shoes are worth packing if you like to wade in comfortably. The bonus in Konaklı is that the town's shops and cafés are close by for a break from the sand. See the Konaklı guide.

Sand or pebbles? A quick note

It genuinely varies spot to spot along this coast. As a rough guide: İncekum and much of Avsallar are the sandiest, while Konaklı and some other stretches mix in pebbles. If you have a strong preference, it's worth checking your specific hotel's beach before booking — and packing a pair of beach shoes covers you for the pebblier or rockier bits and any sea urchins on rocky sections.

Do you have to pay for the beach?

Generally, beach access is free along this coast — you can walk on and lay down a towel. What may cost is the sunloungers and parasols: these are often charged on public stretches, but if your resort runs its own beach section, they're frequently included for guests. There's no single rule, so the simplest thing is to check with your hotel what's provided on their beach. You're also free to bring your own umbrella and chairs to public areas.
