The Beach
'Take nothing but memories ..leave nothing but footprints..'
18km of wondrous sand backed by dunes and the Taurus mountains. Not a single building to be seen due to the strict conservation laws agreed to protect the area. The beach is one of the few remaining beaches in the world, where the loggerhead turtles still come to lay their eggs. The endless white sands are breathtakingly beautiful- real 'Robinson Crusoe country!
Sunbeds and umberellas are available for hire, other facilities include shower, toilets, and attractive cafe, all designed to be in keeping with the surroundings. However you do not need to walk far if you want your 'own little piece of paradise' as there is 18km of beach to explore!
Mini buses run back and forth from the village to the beach or for the more energetic, it is a beautiful 20 minute walk. However for guests staying at the Hotel Patara Viewpoint there is the unique tractor trailer service. Simply grab a seat on our cushioned, shaded trailer and you will be transported to the beach directly from the hotel, passing through 2000 years of history.
