Lara Beach enchants with its vast sandy coastline.

Antalya is a true paradise for tourists with its beautiful beaches... Almost every part of the long coastline offers opportunities for swimming, with numerous beaches to choose from. For those who want to enjoy the sea without venturing too far from the city center, there are several options. One of them is Lara Beach... This beach is located in the Lara district, southeast of Antalya, in the Muratpasha district.

Where does its name come from?

The name Lara Beach dates back to the ancient Hittites. In the Hittite language, "Lara" means "sand." The beach is named precisely because of its sandy covering. The spacious beach covers the entire length of the coastline. Unlike the Konyaalti Beach, which is located in a calm area, this beach differs in the structure of the sea and the beach itself. Unlike the pebble beach of Konyaalti, this beach consists of fine sand. The sea here is not very deep. Therefore, it is an ideal place for those who cannot swim and for families with children. While your child plays in the sand, you can enjoy the sea and the sun.

Suitable for everyone.

On this beach, where the sea is also warm, there is an alternative for everyone and for every budget. You can choose between public beaches or private ones. At the entrance to the beach, there is a public relaxation area. You can also come to this beach with family and friends to have a picnic. For those who prefer to barbecue, there are grills in the recreation area. In addition, there are benches and tables for public use. However, the beach and the recreation area are often very crowded on weekends, holidays, and during the summer months. If you need peace and quiet, we recommend visiting the beach at another time.

At the back of the beach, in the wooded area, there is an opportunity for camping for camping enthusiasts. Here you can also go for walks and bike rides. There are also many restaurants and cafes in this beach area. If you want to stay overnight, there are plenty of hotels and guesthouses awaiting you.

Lara Beach often hosts parties where you can enjoy both the sea and entertainment.
