If you're in Fethiye, Muğla, and want fine sand, you need to come here. From what I've seen, it has the finest sand in the area. It was windy when we went, so swimming wasn't allowed. One of the biggest advantages of this place is that it's within the boundaries of the ancient city of Patara. So, after completing the tour, you can swim in the sea.

A natural wonder with its endless sandy beach. Entry is free with a museum pass. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for a fee, and the current prices are average for both taste and service. (Hamburger 350 lira, lahmacun 300 lira, Coke 150 lira, etc.)
You're allowed to bring your own equipment and food and drink. The sea is choppy and fun, but caution is advised. It's not crowded on weekdays, there's plenty of space, and it's easy to get in and out. You can watch the sunset in the evening.

The beach is beautiful, but its suitability for swimming is debatable. It can be dangerous for those who aren't very good swimmers and tiring for those who are, as the waves are very high. You have to go to the beach through the same entrance as the ancient city of Patara. There's a charge for sunbeds and umbrellas. On our second visit, we decided to watch the sunset, but of course, they cleared out when the time came. We stayed comfortably until sunset.

It's one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. The beach is very wide. There's an entrance fee, but you can only enter with a Museum Pass. It's very wavy. Some days, swimming isn't allowed. I recommend calling to inquire about this before you go. We went without calling and couldn't swim. Before visiting, head to the sand dunes. I recommend taking photos of the view there before entering the beach.

Located in a vast, magnificent ancient city of sand dunes, the beach is much more beautiful than Kaputaş. The water is wavy and pleasant, but it was calm during the weekend. It can sometimes close due to sandstorms, but shelters have been arranged for the loggerhead sea turtles. Sun loungers are charged, but you can bring your own camping equipment and umbrellas. Meals are charged and naturally expensive. It's a great place to come with a family. After the beach, you can visit the theater and other places you like to your heart's content. The shower cabins and restrooms are fine, but only at a distance. Your feet might burn from the sand. :D
