The Basics

Cleopatra Beach is a Blue Flag beach, which means it meets high environmental and cleanliness standards. The water is incredibly clear and shallow near the shore, making it ideal for families with children. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent, and the beachfront is lined with cafes and restaurants serving refreshments and local dishes. Lifeguards are on duty, ensuring a safe experience for all visitors. Amenities like showers, changing rooms, and toilets are conveniently located, making it a hassle-free spot to spend the day.

Things to Know Before You Go

To fully enjoy your day at Cleopatra Beach, bring essentials like sunscreen, hats, and beach towels. Water shoes can be helpful, as some areas have pebbles. The beach can get crowded during peak summer months, so arrive early to secure a good spot. While the beach is free to enter, renting sunbeds, umbrellas, or engaging in water sports like parasailing or jet-skiing incurs additional charges.

How to Get There

Cleopatra Beach is located on the western side of Alanya and is easily accessible from the city center. Most hotels in Alanya are within walking distance or a short taxi ride away. Public buses frequently run along the coastline and stop near the beach. For those driving, parking is available nearby. The location is well-marked, making it easy to navigate even for first-time visitors.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Cleopatra Beach is from late spring to early autumn, when the Mediterranean weather is warm and inviting. During the summer, the beach is lively and bustling with visitors. For a quieter experience, consider visiting in the morning or during the shoulder seasons in May or September. Sunset is another magical time to visit, as the beach offers spectacular views of the setting sun.

Day Trips from Alanya

Cleopatra Beach is an excellent starting point for exploring Alanya. Combine your beach day with a trip to the nearby Damlataş Cave, just a short walk away, or take the Alanya Cable Car up to Alanya Castle for panoramic views of the coastline. Many local tour operators offer guided excursions that include stops at Cleopatra Beach, cultural landmarks, and other scenic spots, making it easy to plan a full day of activities.
