Public Beach, Sandy beach near central district in Marmaris, Turkey
This beach stretches along the Mediterranean coast with dark sand and clear water good for swimming and water sports. Sunbeds, umbrellas, changing rooms, and lifeguards are available, with hotels and shops within easy walking distance.
This area developed from a small fishing settlement into a major coastal destination during Turkey's tourism growth on the Riviera in the 1980s. That change shaped how Marmaris transformed into the modern resort town it is today.
Restaurants line the shore and serve traditional Turkish meals, with seafood delivered fresh from local fishing boats each morning. These dining spaces reflect how closely daily beach life connects to the fishing traditions of the region.
The beach is easy to reach and most areas are shallow, making it suitable for different ages and swimming abilities. Arriving in the morning helps you find better spots and avoid crowds later in the day.
The water stays warm most of the year and allows for swimming from April through November, giving a longer season than many European beaches. This consistent warmth makes it popular with swimmers even outside peak summer months.
