It’s free to access, lined with beach clubs, cafes and a landscaped promenade, and connected to the center by the AntRay tram.
Konyaaltı’s defining feature is its backdrop: the Beydağları mountain range rises directly behind the shoreline, giving the beach a dramatic sea-and-mountain view unusual for a major resort beach. The beach itself is pebble rather than sand — worth knowing in advance, since water shoes make a real difference in comfort — and stretches several kilometers, giving enough space that even peak-season crowds spread out. Beach Park, the landscaped strip along the promenade, adds cafes, restaurants and the Antalya Aquarium within walking distance, making it easy to combine a beach day with other activities without leaving the area.

Public beach access is free. Paid beach clubs charge for loungers and umbrellas, typically $10–25 per day depending on the venue. Beach Park facilities are generally open dawn to late evening.
The AntRay tram runs directly to Konyaaltı from the city center and Kaleiçi, making it one of the most straightforward attractions in Antalya to reach without a car.
