Bodrum Beach

Bodrum Beach stretches along the coast with sandy sections alternating with rocky shores, offering different swimming conditions depending on where you enter the water. The sand flattens gradually in some areas and drops off more steeply in others, each creating distinct experiences for visitors.

The beach sits near the ancient city of Halicarnassus, where the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders, once towered in the 4th century BC. This proximity to ruins and archaeological layers gives the region its historical weight.

Fishermen deliver their daily catch directly to waterfront restaurants, keeping alive a centuries-old tradition that shapes local cooking and daily rhythms. This connection between sea and kitchen remains visible throughout the day and defines how the place feels.

Sunbed and umbrella rentals are available along the shore, with changing facilities and fresh water showers distributed at regular intervals. Restaurants line the waterfront, making it easy to grab food or drinks without leaving the beach area.

The waters offshore hold scattered remains of ancient amphoras and shipwrecks that snorkelers can spot below the surface. These submerged archaeological traces turn a swimming trip into a window onto the ancient past.
