Lara Beach Mesmerizes with Its Wide Sandy Shore

Antalya is a tourism paradise with numerous beautiful beaches. You can swim along almost every point of its long coastline, and there are many beaches to choose from. For those who want to enjoy the sea without venturing too far from the city center, there are several alternatives. One of these is Lara Beach, located in the Lara district, on the southeastern side of Antalya's Muratpaşa district.

Where Does the Name Come From?

The name of Lara Beach dates back to the Hittites. In the language of the Hittite civilization, "Lara" meant sand. So, Lara Beach essentially means "Sandy Beach." True to its name, the entire coastline is covered with wide stretches of sand. Compared to the more crowded Konyaaltı Beach, Lara Beach offers a quieter environment, with notable differences in the structure of the sea and shore. Unlike Konyaaltı Beach's pebbled shoreline, this beach is made up of fine, small sands. The sea is not too deep, making it ideal for non-swimmers and families with children. While your child plays in the sand, you can comfortably enjoy the sea and sun.

Appeals to Everyone

The sea at this beach is warm, and there are options for every preference and budget. You can choose between the public beach or private beach clubs. There is also a picnic area at the entrance of the beach for the public. You can visit this beach for a picnic with your family and loved ones. For those who prefer grilling, there are fireplaces in the picnic area. Additionally, there are seating areas and tables available for public use. However, the beach and picnic area can get quite crowded on weekends, holidays, and during the summer months. If you prefer a more peaceful experience, it’s best to visit outside these busy times.

At the back of the beach, in the forested area, there are camping opportunities for those who enjoy camping. Hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities can also be enjoyed when you visit the beach. There are numerous restaurants and cafes in the area, and if you wish to stay overnight, a variety of hotels and guesthouses are available.
