Balıkçı Koyu is a scenic beach and campsite located in Adrasan, Kumluca, Antalya. Nestled in a pristine, untouched corner of nature, it offers a unique camping experience that harmoniously blends history and natural beauty. The beach is known for its soft sandy shores, clear and shallow waters, and a rocky terrain that is home to a small amount of coral, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and diving. The area is surrounded by captivating mountains and calm waters, offering opportunities for trekking and exploring the unique marine life.
To reach Balıkçı Koyu, one can either travel by land or sea. When traveling by car, it takes approximately 15 minutes from the Adrasan center.

To bypass this, visitors can reach the Adrasan Ford Hotel in about 12 minutes by car and then cover the remaining distance on foot in 5-6 minutes. The walk to the beach offers a scenic view of the entire Adrasan bay, passing through a beautiful pine forest.
Daily boat tours are also available, providing easy access from surrounding bays. The beach can sometimes become crowded with boats and tourists, adding a lively atmosphere to the otherwise serene location.
The campsite at Balıkçı Koyu offers basic amenities such as toilets and shaded areas. There are no authorized campsite operators, meaning visitors can set up their tents and camp without any fees.
