Tekirova Beach is a picturesque holiday resort located in the Kemer district of Turkey, about 59 km from Antalya. The resort is nestled at the foothills of the Beydağları, an extension of the Taurus Mountains, and is surrounded by lush green forests and the Mediterranean Sea. This unique location creates a refreshing atmosphere, further enhanced by the predominantly pine forests that almost reach the coast.
The beach stretches over 4 km and is characterized by its pebbles and gradually increasing depth. Despite being primarily pebbly, the beach is known for its comfort and cleanliness, having been certified with a Blue Flag mark. Its clear blue waters, clean white sand, and the mesmerizing view of the surrounding pine-covered mountains add to its natural beauty. The seabed is flat and gently sloping, making it an ideal spot for swimming.
Tekirova Beach is known for its tranquility and is not typically crowded, providing a peaceful environment for visitors. However, the beach can be quite busy from January to March. The summer season in Tekirova lasts from late April to mid-October, with the swimming season extending from late May to November, making these months ideal for sunbathing and enjoying the sea.
The beach offers a range of water sports activities such as diving and windsurfing, with equipment available for rent, adding excitement to visitors' vacations. The beach is also child-friendly and is safeguarded by security personnel.
There are several ways to get to Tekirova from Antalya, including by bus, taxi, or car. Buses run from the bus station and take approximately 1.5 hours to reach Tekirova. The journey by car takes around 70 minutes, and car rental is also an option.
The Tekirova Beach is a mix of public and private beaches. The private beaches are owned by the hotels located along the sea, while there is also a public beach available for everyone. Despite being owned by various hotels, the beach is well-maintained and offers a comfortable coastal strip for all visitors.
