Due to its status as a protected area, specific rules apply to visitors. Beach access is restricted at night during the nesting season (May to October) to protect turtle eggs. Avoid disturbing marked nests and follow guidelines provided by conservation staff. Pack essentials like sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, and water shoes, as the sand can get hot. Bring a camera to capture stunning views, but refrain from using flash photography near turtles.

Turtle Beach is approximately 90 kilometers from Marmaris, making it an easy day trip. Guided tours are a popular choice, providing round-trip transportation and often including a boat ride along the Dalyan River. Alternatively, you can drive to Dalyan, where small boats and minibuses regularly shuttle visitors to the beach. The scenic boat journey offers a chance to spot wildlife, including herons, kingfishers, and possibly turtles swimming in the river.

The best time to visit Iztuzu Beach is during the spring and autumn months, when temperatures are pleasant, and the area is less crowded. Summer is also a great time to enjoy the warm sea, but plan your visit for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the peak heat and crowds. If you’re interested in turtle conservation, visiting during the nesting season offers a chance to learn about ongoing efforts to protect these remarkable creatures.

Day trips to Iztuzu Beach from Marmaris often include additional stops, making the journey even more rewarding. Many tours incorporate a visit to the Dalyan Mud Baths, where you can indulge in a natural spa experience, or to the ancient Lycian rock tombs, offering a glimpse into the region’s history. A highlight of these trips is the relaxing boat cruise along the Dalyan River, leading to the beach. With its blend of nature, relaxation, and wildlife conservation, a visit to Iztuzu Beach is a must for travelers seeking a unique and memorable experience.
