Belek
Belek is a sand-beach resort 35 km east of Antalya Airport, built around golf courses and large family hotels. The nearshore gradient we measure is 3 percent, so the water stays shallow well out from the waterline — the opposite of Kemer, 95 km southwest. The trade-off is that Belek is a resort strip rather than a town, and there is very little to walk to.
