Private Transfer toBüyük Çakıl Beach
Kaş's most romantic pebble cove — crystal-cool water, sunbeds you barely pay for, and the best sunset on the Lycian coast.
Büyük Çakıl Beach
Büyük Çakıl ("Big Pebble") is the local favourite tucked on Kaş's Çukurbağ Peninsula, barely a kilometre from the old town yet worlds away in mood. A curve of smooth pale pebbles drops into water so clear it looks lit from below — turquoise near the shore, deep blue beyond, and famously cool thanks to underground cold springs that seep up through the seabed. The pebble-and-sand bottom makes it superb for snorkelling, with rocky outcrops on both flanks sheltering colourful fish. Six laid-back beach-restaurants line the shore, lending sunbeds and umbrellas for little more than the price of a drink and serving lunch straight to your lounger. It suits couples, snorkellers and easy-going families over party crowds — and at dusk, when tables are set right on the pebbles facing Meis island, it delivers Kaş's most celebrated sunset.

Büyük Çakıl Beach transfer · frequently asked
How do I get to Büyük Çakıl Beach from Antalya Airport?
It's roughly 192 km from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Kaş — about 3 to 3.5 hours by road along the coastal highway. The easiest option is a SooTransfer private door-to-door transfer: your driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to Kaş or the beach with no changes. A private round-trip in our Eco Van (up to 6 passengers) typically runs around €280, and we offer a wait-and-return service so the same driver can take you back when you're done.
Is a private transfer better than the bus, a taxi or a tour?
For this distance, yes. The public bus means changing in Antalya and a long, slow journey with luggage; a one-way taxi can cost as much as a private return and won't wait for you; group tours run on a fixed clock. A SooTransfer private transfer is fixed-price, door-to-door, and flexible — you can add a stop at Kaputaş or Kalkan, and book wait-and-return so you're never stranded for the trip back to the airport.
Is Büyük Çakıl a sandy beach?
No — true to its name ("çakıl" means pebble), it's a pebble beach with a seabed of sand and smaller pebbles. The pebbles keep the water exceptionally clear, which is part of why snorkelling here is so good. Pack water shoes for easy entry.
Does it have a Blue Flag, lifeguards and facilities?
We can't confirm a Blue Flag award for this beach, so we won't claim one. It does have sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, several beach-restaurants and nearby parking. As with most small Turkish coves, don't assume a permanent lifeguard is on duty — swim within your limits, especially when afternoon winds make it choppier.
How busy and how cool is the water?
It's a well-loved local spot, so it can get crowded on July and August afternoons — arrive mid-morning for the best sunbeds. The water is famously cool and fresh because underground cold springs feed into the bay from the seabed, which many swimmers find wonderfully invigorating on a hot day.
