Altınkum Beach
Altınkum Plajı
Didim's liveliest golden-sand beach, with fine sand, shallow water and calm waves. Bars and restaurants line the shore, making it ideal for families with children.
“Altınkum” means “golden sand” in Turkish. The beach curves to face south, and the water deepens gradually, so you can stand far from the shore. It is ideal for families with children. The front of the beach is packed with paid sun loungers and parasols, though buying a drink often gets you use of them for free. There are also free public areas. The seafront promenade is lined with bars, English breakfast cafés and nightclubs, which makes summer evenings lively. Water sports such as jet skiing and banana boats are all available. From the town centre, a minibus takes about 10 minutes.
