Location of the Different Beaches............

Introduction to Turgutreis beaches.................

Summary: This is the closest beach to Turgutreis town center, with all of the amenities of the town at your doorstep. You don’t have to very far for refreshments, and if you fancy a break from sunbathing, you can wander into the warren of tourist shops just by the mosque.

Palamut Beach.................

Summary: Although a segment of this beach is designated as private by the Golden Beach Hotel, you can still visit Palamut Beach for a panoramic view of the Turkish Islands huddled together in the distance. This part of the peninsula seems a little exposed to me, and is better suited to walking along, rather than sunbathing on.

Fener Beach...............

Summary: Fener Beach (also referred to as Kemer Beach) is a big windsurfing and kite-surfing meeting point, because, like Palamut, it is on an exposed segment of the coastline.  Just round the bend past the Lighthouse, you can pull off the road to access the beach, where you’ll find a restaurant, also called, Fener Beach.

Meteor Beach........................

Summary: Nestled in the first bay on this Southern tip of the peninsula, Meteor beach is usually the first stop on the Southern Tour daily boat trips leaving Turgutreis. As you navigate this part of the peninsula, you’ll begin to have a great view of Kos. The first time I traveled to this area, I was surprised as how close this Greek Island is.

Akçabük Beach....................

Summary: Akçabük Beach is shaped like a 3-sided box, and has just ~300 meters of sandy beach. This location is also great for viewing Kos, especially at night.

Akyarlar Beach..........................

Summary: In this corner of the Peninsula, Akyarlar has the most to offer as a destination. As well as the beach, bars and restaurants, there’s a small weekly market, and a few shops. Whilst no where near as touristy and well visited as say Gümüşlük, this is a good stopping off point if you’re touring around the Bodrum Peninsula.

Karaincir Beach..........................

Summary: Since both sides of this easterly facing bay are surrounded by two hills, it’s sheltered from the winds that can whip around this part of the peninsula, and the waters in front of this 500m sandy beach, are really calm.

Aspat Beach...........................

Summary: Aspat Beach was known as a shelter for Genoese pirates (Aspat cave is also nearby), but is now home to the Temera Beach resort, with a focus on the arts. Stop off at Aspat Beach if you’re in the mood to hike, and you can visit the ancient ruins that pepper Aspat Hill.
