What makes Incekum special as a destination?

Incekum, translated to English as Fine Sand, truly lives up to its name. This stretch of beach on the Turkish Riviera between Alanya and Avsallar boasts one of the most beautiful natural beaches along the entire southern coast. What makes Incekum special is the unique combination of golden sandy beach and dense pine forest that reaches right up to the shore, providing natural shade - a blessing on hot summer days and an experience that can only be found here on the Turkish Riviera. The beach of Incekum stretches for about two kilometers in a gentle bay, sheltered from strong winds and currents. The water is crystal clear and gently sloping, with a turquoise hue reminiscent of Caribbean beaches. The water temperature reaches a pleasant 26 to 28 degrees in summer. Natural shaded spots under the pines make an umbrella almost unnecessary and give the beach a wooded atmosphere that stands in refreshing contrast to the concrete-laden promenades of other tourist spots. Along the beach, several all-inclusive resorts have settled, celebrating Turkish hospitality in perfect harmony with the natural backdrop. Those who prefer more independence will find affordable guesthouses and apartments in Avsallar, the nearest town. The region offers numerous excursion opportunities: the fortress of Alanya with the Red Tower is only 20 kilometers away, the Dim Cave impresses with underground lakes, and the Dim River invites for picnics in nature. From Antalya, Incekum can be reached in about one and a half hours, and Gazipasa-Alanya Airport is only 45 minutes away. Direct flights from Germany to Antalya take just under four hours. The season extends from May to November, with October still offering bathing temperatures of over 24 degrees.
