Incekum Beach
Located west of Alanya in the Avsallar region, İncekum Beach is one of Alanya’s most popular beaches, thanks to its fine-sand shoreline—from which it takes its name—its shallow waters, and its natural setting surrounded by pine trees. It’s a particularly lovely option for those who want to enjoy both the sea and nature.
About
İncekum Beach is one of the beaches located west of Alanya that stands out for its natural surroundings. The Alanya Municipality identifies the beach as being located in the Avsallar region, at the 26th kilometer of the Antalya–Alanya highway. According to sources from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, it is described as a natural beach with fine sand and pine forests, located approximately 20 kilometers west of Alanya.
Features of İncekum Beach
The beach’s most distinctive feature, as its name suggests, is its fine-sand shoreline. The Alanya Municipality also notes that the sea is clean and shallow. These characteristics make İncekum particularly appealing to visitors seeking a calmer environment in the water.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s promotional materials for Alanya also note that, due to its shallow waters, İncekum is a suitable area for learning to swim and participate in water sports.
A Beach Where the Sea Meets the Forest
One of the key features that distinguishes İncekum from the city beaches in central Alanya is the natural landscape surrounding it. The Alanya Municipality describes the area as a recreational zone where the sea and the forest intertwine.
For this reason, İncekum is not only suitable for swimming and sunbathing but also for those who wish to spend more time by the sea in harmony with nature.
Picnics and Nature
The recreational areas around İncekum allow visitors to combine a beach visit with a picnic and nature outing. Sources from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism also indicate that there are areas in the region suitable for tent camping.
However, since rules regarding activities such as camping, picnicking, and building fires may change seasonally, we will not state them on our page as definitive and permanently valid permissions.
Incekum Beach for Families
Due to its shallow waters, Incekum may be particularly appealing to families with children. However, the shallow waters do not mean that safety precautions are unnecessary. Children must be supervised in the water, and warnings regarding waves, wind, and lifeguard status on the day of your visit must be taken into account.
Parking and Transportation
An important change has recently been implemented for visitors traveling to İncekum by private vehicle. The Alanya Municipality reports that the approximately 6,000 m² parking lot at İncekum Public Beach was paved and opened for use in 2025
