Private Transfer toKumköy Beach
A long ribbon of soft golden sand and shallow, glass-clear water — Side's most family-friendly stretch of coast.
Kumköy Beach
Kumköy is the kind of beach you picture when you dream of a Turkish summer: a wide, miles-long ribbon of fine golden sand that runs along the resort strip just west of ancient Side. There's no shingle or pebble underfoot here — it's soft sand all the way to the waterline, and the Mediterranean stays shallow and gentle for a good 100 metres out, which is exactly why families with young children adore it. The water is warm, calm and remarkably clear, ideal for easy swimming and lazy floating. Behind the sand sits a lively row of all-inclusive hotels, beach clubs and watersports stands, so you're never far from a cold drink, a sunbed or a banana-boat ride. Add the Temple of Apollo and Manavgat Waterfall just minutes away, and Kumköy earns its trip.

Kumköy Beach transfer · frequently asked
How do I get to Kumköy Beach from Antalya Airport?
Kumköy sits about 62 km east of Antalya Airport (AYT), roughly a 1-hour drive via the D400 coastal road. The easiest option is a SooTransfer private transfer: a fixed-price round trip in a comfortable, air-conditioned car typically runs around €110–140 depending on vehicle and group size, with free wait-and-return so the same driver brings you back to the airport or your hotel whenever you finish your beach day.
Is a private transfer better than a taxi, bus or tour to Kumköy?
Yes, for most travellers. Public buses mean changes in Manavgat and a walk to the sand with luggage, while metered taxis can cost more than a fixed private fare and won't wait for you. A SooTransfer private transfer gives you a set price agreed up front, door-to-beach service, child seats on request and the freedom to combine Side ruins or Manavgat Waterfall — no fixed tour schedule, no surprises.
Is Kumköy Beach sandy or pebbly?
It's fully sandy — soft, fine golden sand from the back of the beach right down to the waterline, with no shingle or stones. That, plus the shallow calm water, is exactly why it's so popular with families and anyone who isn't a confident swimmer.
Does Kumköy Beach have sunbeds, watersports and facilities?
Yes. You'll find sunbeds and umbrellas (free at many beach clubs if you order food or drink, or around €8–15 per set on the public stretch), plus showers, toilets and parking. In summer, watersports operators offer parasailing, jet skis, banana boats and pedalos right off the sand.
Is Kumköy Beach good for families and how busy does it get?
It's one of Side's most family-friendly beaches thanks to the gentle, shallow sea and soft sand. It does get busy in July and August, when the resort strip is at full capacity — arrive in the morning for the calmest sea, the most space and easier parking.
