Kaputas Beach — Attraction in Kaş

I have to say this wasn’t the pleasant experience it was in 2009, obviously it was going to be busier but I have to agree with some of the other reviews about cleanliness and being packed in like cattle.

We arrived by Taxi from Kalkan, which is a fairly cheap way to get there, we paid 400 lire each way, and arranged to be picked up at around 4pm after getting there around 11am. We also went to a great seafood restaurant down the road and this was plenty of time.

The beach was already busy, but not packed, we got some sun beds, which they charged 100 lire for each, then tried to charge us for the umbrella to another 100, we declined. This all sounds fairly reasonable, except… the beds are uncomfortable and the beach is dirty. I think I worked out they were probably getting around 30,000 Lire a day, which I think means they should clean the beach. There were cigarette butts everywhere, bottle caps etc. No actual rubbish like cans and bottles which I guess they clean up unless people do this as they go.

The sea is lovely, however if it’s a calm day you can see the skin and sun screen floating on the area which penned off.

At one point 3 big boats arrived all blaring music, just to add to the cacophony of noise.

By around 1pm the beach was rammed, you literally couldn’t move for sun beds, hence my assumption on the amount of money they make.

There are toilets, not the most pleasant ones but still, and there is a cafe which is actually fairly pleasant and nice and cool in shade.

If you swim outside the roped off area then it’s nice just make sure you are a strong swimmer and keep an eye out for boats.

We’d had enough by about 1.30pm and wondered off down the road to the seafood restaurant, which is about a 20 minute walk along the road, again just be careful whilst walking down the road, there are no...

Kaputas Beach: A Slice of Paradise That Makes You Work for It ​Kaputas Beach is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking sights on Turkey's Turquoise Coast. Nestled between towering cliffs, the sand is a soft golden-white, and the water is an astonishing shade of turquoise that looks almost too perfect to be real. The small cove feels like a hidden gem, and the views from the road above are simply spectacular. ​However, getting to this little piece of heaven requires a bit of effort and planning. This isn't a beach you can casually stumble upon. You absolutely need a car to reach it, as it's located on a winding coastal road between Kas and Kalkan. Once you arrive, the true challenge begins. Parking is extremely limited and often chaotic, with cars squeezed onto the narrow shoulder of the main road. You'll likely need to walk a bit from your car just to get to the entrance. ​The final leg of the journey is a long, steep descent down a flight of concrete stairs carved into the cliff face. While the walk down is a workout, it's a small price to pay for the stunning vista that unfolds before you. The stairs also serve as a natural filter, keeping the beach from becoming...

A very nice small beach, you can enter for free and there are plenty of sun, chairs and umbrellas that you can rent for 150 lira each, we paid 450 for two beds and an umbrella in June 2024. It was a little more rocky than expected, but still overall had a lot of sand and was really nice. Super picturesque, great for swimming, tanning, taking pictures, and enjoying the nice days. We left our stuff while swimming and it felt pretty safe. Generally clean.

Lots of steps to get down but fine if you don’t have mobility issues. There are plenty of showers, bathrooms, and food available to buy. Overall, a great experience and we enjoyed. We came around 10:45 AM and we were able to park close, even though it was a weekend. There is not a lot of parking space and spots fill up quickly so people parked on the side of the road, come early if you are parking on the weekend. Well worth the trip, and view from the top is...
