Kaputaş Beach

Kaputaş Beach is a sandy cove tucked between steep limestone cliffs on the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. The sand lies white and fine, sloping gently into clear water that shifts from turquoise near shore to deeper blue offshore.

The narrow valley leading to this cove was carved over thousands of years by flowing water, creating a natural opening in the cliffs. This passage became an important waypoint for ships and traders moving along the Mediterranean coast.

The beach marks a traditional stop on the Turkish Blue Cruise route, where sailing boats anchor and travelers meet locals who work on the water. People have shaped their daily life around this cove for generations, treating it as a meeting place between sea and land.

Access requires descending a series of stone steps cut into the cliff side, a walk that takes time and effort both going down and returning. You will find basic facilities on the sand including showers and a small cafe where you can buy drinks and light snacks.

A rocky canyon extends inland from behind the beach and becomes accessible when water levels drop, revealing layers of stone carved by ancient currents. This hidden terrain lets you see how water has shaped the landscape over countless years.
