Lara Beach stretches east of Antalya as a long strip of golden sand lined with five-star hotels and all-inclusive resorts. The water is calm and shallow with a gradual entry, making it ideal for families with children who can wade safely. The beach also serves as a nesting site for Caretta caretta sea turtles, and their protected nests can be spotted on the sand during breeding season. The nearby Lower Duden Waterfalls cascade directly into the sea and are worth a visit. The public beach area is free, while hotel sections offer sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee.
