Konyaalti Beach (Turkish name: Konyaaltı Plajı) is one of the most beautiful, long and wide beaches of Antalya, which has all the necessary infrastructure, and there is an extensive beach park and a beautiful embankment nearby.
This is one of the two main beaches of Antalya, the second is Lara beach.
Konyaalti Beach is the western beach of the city, located in the Konyaalti district of the same name.
The length of the beach strip is about 8 kilometers.
On one side of the beach (the side of the city center) there is a rocky coast, and on the other (the western side) there are mountains near the beach; there is also an extensive green area adjacent to the beach (Konyaalti Beach Park). All this creates panoramas of unsurpassed beauty.

For convenience, Konyaalti beach is divided by numbers (beach 1, 2, 3, etc.), but visually the beach is a single beach strip. All beaches under the numbers are called Konyaaltı beaches (Konyaaltı Plajları).
Many of the beaches have a Blue Flag award, and they all have beach infrastructure.
On the beaches of Konyaalti, pebbles, from small to larger, sometimes mixed with sand.
The sea water is clean and transparent. The depth comes pretty quickly.
Entering the sea depends on the location of the beach. So, at the rocks in the eastern part of the beach, the entrance to the sea is more inclined than in the central part of the beach, where it is more gentle.

The hotels are located on a rocky hill above the Beach Park. You can climb from the park to the hotels (as well as go down to the beach) by a free panoramic elevator or, if you wish, by stairs.

And the beach itself still has areas where you can sit on your own towel, and areas with sun loungers, umbrellas and other infrastructure.
