Karaincir Plajı
A serene and family-friendly beach escape with shallow, clear waters and soft, golden sand.
Karaincir Plajı is a popular public beach located in the Akyarlar area of Bodrum, known for its clear turquoise waters and golden sandy beach. The beach is particularly well-suited for families with children due to its shallow waters that remain shallow for a considerable distance. While access to the beach itself is free, a significant portion of the shoreline is occupied by businesses and hotels, which can make the available public area limited and crowded, especially during peak season. Visitors recommend arriving early to secure a good spot if you plan to use the public beach area and to bring your own sun umbrella. Despite these potential drawbacks, the beach remains a favorite for its natural beauty and suitability for families.
