Most visitors staying around Kemer already know Konyaaltı and Lara back in Antalya, but there’s a quieter, cheaper string of beaches most guidebooks skip entirely: the public beaches run by Turkey’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism along the coast between Beldibi and Tekirova. These aren’t private beach clubs, and they’re not the free, wild beaches of Olympos and Phaselis further south either. They sit in between: real facilities, sunbeds and a restaurant, at government-set prices that undercut almost anything with a hotel logo on it. Here’s an honest look at what each one actually costs in 2026 and what you get for it.
📝 A Local’s Note
All five beaches are run by the same Ministry-appointed operator, so the sunbed price always includes the umbrella, unlike many independent beach cafes elsewhere on the coast that charge for the two separately. If a vendor tries to add an umbrella fee on top of your sunbed, that’s a sign you’re not at one of these.
They’re close enough together that you don’t have to commit to just one. Beldibi to Çift Çeşmeler is about a 10-minute drive, and the whole run down to Küçük Çaltıcak is under half an hour along the coast road, so it’s easy to check two or three in one afternoon before picking a favourite.
Kemer’s public beaches at a glance
Prices below are approximate 2026 figures in Turkish Lira, with a rough euro equivalent for planning. They’re set centrally and change less often than a private beach club’s, but always worth a quick glance at the entrance board since anything can shift with the season or the exchange rate.
| Beach | Entry / Parking | Sunbed (umbrella incl.) | Cabana / Extras | Beach type |
| Beldibi | Free on foot | around €3.60 (≈200 TL) | Caravan pitch around €17.80/day (≈1,000 TL) | Pebble, very clear water |
| Çift Çeşmeler | around €1.80 (≈100 TL) by car | around €3.60 (≈200 TL) | Cabana around €13.40/day (≈750 TL) | Pebble |
| Çamyuva | Free on foot | around €3.60 (≈200 TL) | Cabana around €19.60/day (≈1,100 TL); picnic area around €6.70 (≈375 TL, 09:00–22:00) | Fine gravel, deepens gradually |
| Tekirova | around €1.80 (≈100 TL) by car | around €3.60 (≈200 TL) | Parasailing available on site (local vendor, pay direct) | Sand-pebble mix, Blue Flag |
| Küçük Çaltıcak | around €1.80 (≈100 TL) by car | around €3.60 (≈200 TL) | Cabana around €17.80/day (≈1,000 TL); covered picnic table around €4.50/day (≈250 TL) | Shaded, green surroundings |
Beldibi Public Beach
Beldibi sits right where the Taurus Mountains meet the sea, and it’s the greenest of the five, with shade trees you can pitch a picnic blanket under for free if you’d rather skip the sunbeds altogether. The water is pebbly underfoot but exceptionally clear. If you’re travelling with a campervan, this is also the only one of the five with a dedicated caravan area, complete with electricity, showers, toilets, a dish-washing station and waste disposal.
Çift Çeşmeler Public Beach
The quietest and least-visited of the group, Çift Çeşmeler has a pebble shoreline like Beldibi but a noticeably better coffee menu, think proper iced Americanos rather than instant. The beachside cabanas here (shaded, semi-private lounging areas) are worth the splurge if you want a shaded corner to yourself for the day rather than a shared row of sunbeds.
Çamyuva Public Beach
Çamyuva pairs its beach with a proper picnic and barbecue meadow behind it, mountain views included, which makes it the pick if your group wants to grill rather than eat at the restaurant. The restaurant itself is genuinely decent for a beach facility, with chicken dishes, salads and fries that go beyond the usual toasted sandwich. The entry underfoot is fine gravel that only gets stony further out, and it doesn’t drop off quickly, which makes it one of the more comfortable options for children.
Tekirova Public Beach
Tekirova is the only Blue Flag beach in the group, and the closest to Phaselis if you’re combining a beach day with the ruins. The sand-and-pebble shoreline starts soft and turns stonier as you wade in, and the water stays clear throughout. It’s also the one beach here with an organised parasailing operator working directly off the sand, a local vendor rather than something bookable through Viator, so budget cash on the day if you fancy a flight.
Küçük Çaltıcak Public Beach
Küçük Çaltıcak has the most greenery of the five, which keeps it noticeably cooler on a scorching August afternoon, and a restaurant menu with real range: pizza, pasta, salads and grilled chicken rather than a snack-bar selection. The sea here is particularly clean and clear, and the covered picnic tables are a good shout if you want shade without paying for a full cabana.
What to bring
Every beach on this list has some pebble underfoot, even the ones with a sandy entry, so a pair of water shoes will save your feet. Bring cash for the smaller stands, sun protection since shade is limited outside the picnic areas, and swap in a beach mat if you’d rather skip the sunbed fee and just claim a patch of sand or grass.
Best time to visit
June to September gives you the warmest sea and the fullest facilities, though weekends get busy with day-trippers from Kemer’s hotels. May and October are quieter, the restaurants stay open and the water is still swimmable, just cooler. If you want a sunbed without a wait, arrive before 11am in peak season.
Make a day of it: tours from this stretch of coast
If you’re based in Beldibi, Çamyuva or Tekirova and want to see more than the sand, a few tours pick up directly from these beach towns rather than requiring a transfer into central Kemer first.
