About this attraction

Damlataş Beach

Damlataş Beach is the eastern, postcard-perfect end of Alanya's celebrated Cleopatra coastline, curving beneath the floodlit peninsula and Alanya Castle. Unlike many of the region's pebble bays, this is genuine fine golden sand that slips gently into clear, turquoise Mediterranean water — easy on bare feet and ideal for children. It takes its name from the Damlataş Cave at its edge, a 22°C stalactite grotto famous for soothing asthma. With sunbeds, umbrellas, season-long lifeguards, showers, changing cabins, cafes and water sports all on hand, it suits families, swimmers and sun-seekers alike. Backed by palm-lined promenades and steps from the old town, castle and Red Tower, it blends a proper city beach with serious sightseeing — making the 130 km run from Antalya genuinely worth it.

Opening hours
Open public access 24/7; sunbed concessions, lifeguards and beachfront cafes typically operate around 08:00–19:00 in the swimming season (roughly May–October). The adjacent Damlataş Cave keeps its own ticketed hours, usually from morning until early evening.
Entry fee
Free public access to the sand and sea. A set of two sunbeds plus an umbrella runs roughly €7–15 depending on spot and season; showers and changing cabins are available, and water sports (banana boat, parasailing) are paid per activity. Damlataş Cave charges a small separate entrance ticket.
What to see / do

Highlights of Damlataş Beach

🏖️
Real Golden Sand
One of Alanya's few truly sandy beaches — soft underfoot with a gentle, shallow entry that's perfect for kids and easy swimming, not the pebbles you'll find elsewhere on the coast.
🏳️
Blue Flag Water
Damlataş carries Blue Flag status, your reassurance that the bright turquoise water meets strict cleanliness and safety standards. Season-long lifeguards keep watch over swimmers.
🕳️
Damlataş Cave Next Door
Step off the sand straight into the famous 22°C stalactite cave, prized since 1948 for its humid, mineral-rich air that's said to ease asthma and respiratory complaints.
🏰
Castle & Old Town Backdrop
The beach sits right under Alanya's peninsula, minutes from the castle, the historic Red Tower (Kızıl Kule), the harbour and the archaeology museum — sightseeing and sunbathing in one stop.
🚤
Water Sports & Cafes
Banana boat rides, parasailing and other watersports launch from the beachfront, with cafes, restaurants, showers and changing cabins lining the palm-shaded promenade behind.
🌅
Sunset Photo Spot
As the western-facing bay, Damlataş catches glorious evening light, with the floodlit castle rising above the sand for one of Alanya's most photogenic sunsets.
Practical tips

Trip tricks for Damlataş Beach

🚐
Skip the Parking Hassle
Beachfront parking is tight and fills early in high season. A SooTransfer private car drops you right at the promenade and returns on your schedule — no circling for a space with kids and beach bags in tow.
Beat the Crowds
The strip near the cave entrance gets packed by midday in summer. Come early for the calmest sand and clearest water, or aim for late afternoon to pair a swim with the sunset.
🧴
Bring the Essentials
Shade away from rented umbrellas is limited, so pack sunscreen, water and reef-friendly footwear for the cave steps. Towels and a change of clothes make the cave visit straight after a swim easy.
🗺️
Combine Your Stops
With a private transfer you can roll the beach, Damlataş Cave, Alanya Castle and the Red Tower into one relaxed day, then head back whenever you're ready rather than chasing a bus timetable.

FAQ

Damlataş Beach transfer · frequently asked

How do I get to Damlataş Beach from Antalya Airport?

Damlataş Beach is about 128 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), roughly a 1 hour 50 minute drive along the scenic D400 coastal road. The simplest, most comfortable option is a SooTransfer private door-to-door transfer: we meet you in arrivals, help with the luggage and take you straight to the beach or your Alanya hotel. A private round-trip in our standard Eco Van typically runs around €138, and we can wait and return you the same day or collect you for the trip home whenever you like.

Is it faster to fly into Gazipaşa instead?

Yes — if your flight allows it, Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) is only about 42 km away, a 35–40 minute drive. A SooTransfer private transfer from GZP to Damlataş Beach is far quicker than from Antalya and usually costs less, around €40–55 one way. We cover both airports, so book whichever suits your itinerary.

What's the best way to get there — taxi, bus or private transfer?

Public buses from Antalya mean changes, fixed timetables and a long haul with luggage, while metered taxis over 130 km can become very expensive and unpredictable. A SooTransfer private transfer gives you a fixed, agreed price, a named driver waiting at arrivals, child seats on request and a direct ride — usually cheaper than a one-way airport taxi and far less stressful for families heading straight to the coast.

Is Damlataş Beach sandy and good for families?

Very much so. It's one of Alanya's genuine golden-sand beaches with a gentle, shallow entry into clear Blue Flag water, plus season-long lifeguards, showers, changing cabins and cafes nearby — all ideal for children. Just note it gets busy in midsummer, so arriving early secures the best spot.

Can I visit the Damlataş Cave and Alanya Castle on the same trip?

Absolutely. The Damlataş Cave sits right at the edge of the beach, and Alanya Castle, the Red Tower and the old harbour are all within a short distance. With a SooTransfer private transfer you can comfortably combine the beach, cave and castle in one day and return whenever you're finished, with no timetable to catch.
