Find Hotels near Lara Beach
Lara Beach runs for 12 km along Antalya's eastern coast and is the city's sandier alternative to Konyaaltı. The sand here is fine and golden rather than pebbly, and the sea floor slopes gently - making it better suited to families with young children. The beach is divided between a public section near the Lower Düden Waterfalls and a long stretch of resort-backed private beaches further east.
The public section of Lara Beach is free and has basic facilities (showers, toilets, a few snack bars). Sun-lounger rentals at the beach clubs cost TRY 150-300 (EUR 4-8). City bus KL08 connects Lara to the city centre in about 40 minutes. The resort strip further east includes some of Turkey's largest all-inclusive hotels, but you do not need to be a guest to enjoy the public beach. Lara is warmer and calmer than Konyaaltı in early and late season because it faces south.
Pro Tip: Combine Lara Beach with the Lower Düden Waterfalls - they are just 2 km apart. Spend the morning at the falls, walk along the coastal path, and settle on the beach for the afternoon.
