- TanerIzmir, Türkiye895 contributionsOludeniz BeachIt is a neighborhood in Fethiye district of Muğla. Ölüdeniz Beach was chosen as the most beautiful beach in the world in 2006 with 82% of the votes. The town has been highly developed in terms of tourism. It is known as the Land of Light and Sun among the Lycians and as the "Far Land" in the Middle Ages. It is located on the Teke Peninsula in the Southwest of Anatolia. It is one of the Lagoon Formations in Turkey. Oludeniz is a character name like stagnant lake. On the stormiest days, while the shores of Belceğiz are struggling with the waves, only crashes occur in Ölüdeniz. However, Ölüdeniz, which seems calm, renews itself almost every day for three invisible reasons. The first of these is that the intense spring water outflows in Ölüdeniz create a current from the bottom towards the Mediterranean. Secondly, there is a continuous circulation from the Mediterranean in and out due to the salt difference created by these spring waters. Thirdly, the sea rises and falls by an average of half a meter every two or three days due to the tidal effect. This Provides Large Amounts of Sea Water Input and Outflow. It turned into a town with municipal status on 16 November 1992. It became a neighborhood with the Law No. 6360 adopted by the Turkish Grand National Assembly on 12 November 2012.Visited July 2023Travelled soloWritten February 27, 2024
- Luz Elena MCuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico6 contributionsExcellent family time.We went with my two daughters and we will go again in September, with their husbands. Beautiful beach. The turquoise and the lagoon on one side. Very pleasant time, which we spent. Yes there are people, but it is very wide. They have trails and several places, cafes, etc.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten March 16, 2024
- Michael ELiverpool, United Kingdom49 contributionsNot the best experienceIt looks stunning from all pictures.. Truth really harsh shale beach you pay to go in then changed 750TL for sunbeds 500 TL for 2 beers and 50TL for him to bring them the 10 yards... It looks absolutely gorgeous but truthfully not in any rush to return... We stayed in Club Tuana in Fethiye it is really good hotel and payed for a cab over to Oludeniz which I found run down and quite dirtyVisited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten April 23, 2024
- Ayşe D.Usak, Türkiye6 contributionsIdeal spot for swimmingThe water was clear and beautiful, an ideal location for swimming. You can reach by bus from Fethiye center every half hour. We chose to swim in the sandburn at the far end. The only negative point is that since it is not a beach but a stony place, it can hurt your feet after a while. For the shopkeepers of Ölüdeniz, seeing foreign signs everywhere was somewhat saddening.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten May 5, 2024
- tommymihalyBrighton, United Kingdom113 contributionsThe most brilliant blue watersAbsolutely gorgeous stretch of beach. Can be some quite rough waves on the beach near the centre but calmer waters can be found towards the blue lagoon. The blue lagoon has some small fish in the water but didn’t see any anywhere else along the beach. There are plenty of restaurants and snack bars along the promenade for lunch and dinner. 2 Sunbeds and 1 Umbrella cost us 600tl for the day. Paragliding is on offer everywhere you go and they have regulated the price for this now so you should not pay more than about £125 for the experience and an additional £25 for photos/footage. Spent everyday sitting here in the sun listening to the waves, it truly is a stunning beach.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten May 8, 2024
- Hulya M1 contributionÖlüdeniz beach is too expensiveThe sea and the beach are wonderful. We have been to this place many times in previous years, but they have unnecessarily exaggerated the prices. One umbrella and two sunbeds are 750 TL. Entrance on foot is 50 TL, entrance by car is 400 TL, there is no permission even for entering and exiting. Every Entrance is paid. When you enter in the morning and leave the beach for lunch, the entrance fee is charged again. In short, it's too expensive, I won't come again. Those who come should put at least 2,300 in their pocket.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten May 18, 2024
- michael d51 contributionsDon't go without beach shoes / don't buy ice cream from the beach front stallIt was worse than walking on christmas baubles. Feet killing after walking on all the pebbles. Water was a little dirty and trash could be seen in many places. Not really a good place for kids as it's very wavy and choppy even when it's calm. All the bars / restaurants are really expensive and the quality doesn't match the price. I bought my son an ice cream from the stall next to the dolmus stop. Two scoops of ice cream in a tub cost me £10. Absolutely disgusted. I didn't even pay that anywhere in the amalfi coast or salento.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten June 6, 2024

- 𝑨𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒂 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒆Sarlat-la-Canéda, France26 contributionsThe nature is beautiful but the beach is pebble and the businesses are very expensiveThis is one of the symbolic places of Turkey, but we were disappointed when we arrived. We were expecting a sandy beach. Unfortunately, it is a pebble beach. Also, the sea suddenly gets deeper. All cake and restaurant establishments on this beach are very expensive. I recommend you not to waste moneyVisited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten June 27, 2024
- Mariaab198496 contributionsCute but overratedThe beach is not bad. It is white pebbled and the sea compared to the Dalaman part has different colors. However the water is murkier, at least when we went, even for the continuous coming and going of boats and it is not cheap. So if you have more days I recommend to see it but without afflicting too muchVisited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten June 30, 2024

We wanted to particularly visit this beach as when you see the photos it looks so beautiful .but it was a deception and we was quiet disappointed.
To many tourist and shops sunbeds packed together . It not sandy but more like builders gravel stones
Unfortunately we found it hard to get into the sea from the stoney beach as it was to slippery the area we was in .
Sun bed was reasonable priced at 120 Lira's about £6. for two beds and umbrella .
Unfortunately it's just to busy I couldn't wait to leave to much going on lots of water sports boats excursions.
People smoking leaving but ends everywhere
It's such a shame if only they cleaned the beach .

A long sweeping beach with a wide paved promenade.
Great for chill time, take a stroll, watch the paragliders land or grab some refreshments.
Sunbeds are chargeable at the lagoon end but perfectly affordable for what quality time can be spent here.

Beautiful beach, great setting, paragliders are constantly landing, sun beds and umbrellas can be found, but they are not cheap. the beach has free space where you can bring your own sunbed. Refreshments and food are available on the beach. The water is clean, refreshing. In the afternoon there are usually waves. It is not suitable for young children and non-swimmers, as it is deep in the shore.

We took a day visit to The Blue Lagoon Beach in Ölüdeniz, what a sensational place to visit. The water is so blue and clear. From the mountain the water is just picture perfect! There are sunbeds all around the edge to use and someone comes around to charge for their use - I think it was 15 TL or close to this price so very reasonable.
My husband jet ski’d and my friend paraglided from the mountain! She had an amazing experience and bought pictures and video footage of her glide.
A pirate man came around with a parrot and we had some pictures taken which we later bought. We ate in the beach cafe, food was lovely and had an ice cream afterwards. There are toilet facilities- not the cleanest but bearable! Would absolutely recommend a visit here!

Really enjoyed our week here, better than expected, beach nice but very pebbly once into the sea, Blue lagoon beautiful and free pick ups. Plenty bars and restaurants to choose from and good value for money. Lots of trips available also great prices all day boat trip lunch for £15, £5 for pedalos or paddle boards so did lots of activities. Would definitely return!

We visited the blue lagoon Oludeniz twice last year and loved it so much we returned this year. We had such a lovely day watching the paragliders jumping of Bagadad mountain . The beach is well kept and tidy, plenty of sun Loungers which you can hire for just a few TL. The water is so so clear and great for swimming once you get over the rocky shore! The bars and restaurants on the beach seemed to have been updated this year and presented much nicer than last year. Plenty of places to get food and drinks.

The beach is beautiful and the colors are amazing BUT there are tons of garbage verywhere.
Bottles, cigars, napkins, bags and etc. It's so sad and disgusting.
Turkish people only care about making money and the tourists who visit are just pigs (most of them).
In addition to that, all the beach is covered by beds and umbrellas, so you can't normally walk around and enjoy the beach.

Lagon, 2 sun loungers, 1 umbrella, 400 TL. The operator has reserved what you eat and drink. It's extra, but if you want, bring a chair and sit hungry or have a picnic atmosphere. Bring your food. Parking, passenger car, 120 TL. We chose Monsion Beach as the restaurant. The menu and prices are very good. I gave it a medium rating, the distinction between beach and restaurant, the extra cost is ridiculous -

I spent a few days on the beach in Oludeniz and a few days on the beach of Cleopatra in Alania. So I can compare both of these places. My impressions are as follows:
Alania's Cleopatra Beach is very large. And there are hotels along the entire length. So there is no problem finding a hotel close to the beach. The Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon) beach is adjacent to a very small village. So it's hard to find a hotel. You will probably commute by car to get to the beach.
Using a car in Oludeniz in the high season requires spending about 40 minutes in traffic jams. Access to the beach by car, 2 kilometers away, takes about 40 minutes. The Oludeniz beach is very crowded. There is a huge amount of tourists there. There are fewer tourists on Cleopatra Beach.
There is sand on Cleopatra's Beach. Romantic walks in the setting sun are possible. There are stones on the Oludeniz beach. So forget about walking.
Cleopatra Beach is very clean. Oludeniz beach is dirty. You can see rubbish everywhere - even next to the sunbeds. The water on Cleopatra's beach is fairly clean. On the Oludeniz beach, 2 meters from the shore, the water is dirty. A little further - cleaner.
Cleopatra Beach is located in the city (Alania). Oludeniz Beach is surrounded by high mountains. There are nice views.
Summary - if you want to go to Oludeniz you may be disappointed. But there is one good news. From Oludeniz you can sail to the Butterfly Valley. It is a really beautiful place to be recommended.

You go downhill by car at a long distance from Fethiye, you wait in a long car queue, the entrance fee is 120₺, we brought an umbrella and a savanna to the ground. The beach of the Ölüdeniz part is small and you sit together, the sea is shallow and then it deepens, it is crowded, it is stagnant like pool water, and it gets its name from this stagnation. I guess I did not experience an enjoyable swimming experience, Belcekız. There are big stones on the beach side when entering the sea, it was below my expectations.

Birkaç gün için Fethiye’deyim.
2015 de navigasyon Ölüdeniz milli parkına götürdü.
Çok taşlık bir denizdi.
Galiba yanlış yere gittik.
Herkesin çok memnun kaldığı Ölüdeniz plajı tam da neresi?
Haritada konum gösterebilir misiniz?
Teşekkürler…

Hi - although I think the lagoon is very pretty, I personally prefer to swim in the sea part of the beach (but not been since the mid 90s !!)
We are looking to come for a couple of days, while staying elsewhere on the other side of Fethiye.
Can you please tell me if there are any beach clubs on the sea end of the beach and if so which are they and recommendations please.
Thanks
