About İncekum

İncekum is a gentle, pine-fringed bay in Avsallar whose name means "fine sand" in Turkish, with warm shallows that make it one of the calmest family beaches near Alanya. A private transfer from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) reaches it in around 1 hour 10 minutes, since the resort sits west of Alanya while the airport lies to the east.

Easy-going and family-centred rather than party-driven. Days drift between the shallow turquoise water and the shade of the pines, with picnic smoke, children's laughter and the hum of cicadas as the soundtrack. Evenings stay low-key, leaning on the all-inclusive resorts of Avsallar and a stroll along the bay rather than nightlife.

Best season

Late May to early October is prime, with sea temperatures climbing into the high 20s°C and long, dry, sunny days. July and August are hottest and busiest, so the pine shade and early arrivals matter most then; June and September offer the same warm shallows with thinner crowds and softer prices.

Hidden gem · Forest-side picnic over the cape

Most visitors stop at the open sand, but the quieter reward is up in İncekum Nature Park on the headland itself. Claim a shaded table among the old pines, light a barbecue, and look down on the bay where the fine sand is being laid grain by grain, far calmer than the beachfront below.

What İncekum is famous for

Six reasons people choose İncekum

The standout features that set İncekum apart from every other Antalya region.

🏖️

Fine, soft sand

The name İncekum literally means "fine sand," describing the powdery, golden-yellow grains that the headland's currents deposit along this roughly 1 km stretch of shore.

🌊

Shallow, calm shallows

The seabed shelves very gently, so the water stays waist-deep and warm well offshore, calm and clear enough for nervous swimmers and small children to wade safely.

🌲

Pine-forest backdrop

Centuries-old Mediterranean pines grow almost to the waterline, throwing natural shade over the sand and scenting the air, an unusual luxury among Alanya's open beaches.

🏞️

İncekum Nature Park

A 271-hectare protected park wraps the cape with shaded picnic tables, barbecue spots, camping and caravan areas, and quiet forest walking paths above the bay.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family-first beach

Between the soft sand, the gradual slope and the calm water, İncekum is widely rated one of the safest, most relaxed family beaches on the western Alanya coast.

🚩

Blue Flag water

The bay's beach holds Blue Flag status for clean, clear water and managed facilities, with showers, changing cabins, toilets and beachfront cafés on hand.

A short-list our drivers and dispatchers recommend after dropping guests at their hotel.

🏊

Wade the warm shallows

Walk far out into water that barely reaches your waist, the single best feature here for toddlers, cautious swimmers and lazy floating afternoons.

🍢

Picnic and barbecue

Reserve a forest table in the Nature Park, fire up a grill among the pines, and eat in deep shade just steps from the sand.

🚶

Walk the forest trails

Follow the soft paths through the pine canopy on the cape for cool, fragrant strolls and quiet sea views away from the busy beach.

⛺

Camp under the pines

Pitch a tent or park a caravan in the park's equipped camping areas, with toilets, washbasins and that constant whisper of waves and wind.

🤿

Snorkel the clear bay

The calm, transparent water near the rocks at the cape's edges is gentle enough for beginners to try a mask and fins.

Trip tricks

Travel tips for İncekum transfers

What we tell every guest before they fly in. Save these on your phone before landing.

🌳

Arrive early in summer

Shaded spots and Nature Park parking fill fast in July and August; come in the morning to claim a pine-side table.

🚗

Plan the longer GZP drive

İncekum sits west of Alanya while GZP is east, so the airport run is around 70 minutes, longer than for central Alanya hotels.

👟

Bring beach shoes

While the sand is fine, some areas near the cape are rockier, and shoes help on hot midday sand and shallow stones.

💵

Carry small cash

The Nature Park charges a modest per-vehicle entry, and beach cafés and picnic kiosks are easiest paid in Turkish lira.

İncekum is in Avsallar, about 25 km west of Alanya in Antalya Province. The closest airport is Gazipaşa-Alanya (GZP), roughly 65 km away, while Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 100 km to the west.
