Kleopatra Beach is a long sandy beach on the western shore of Alanya, in Antalya province on Turkey's south coast, stretching about 2.5 km west from below the castle peninsula, about 2 km in a straight line from the town centre. It is named after Queen Cleopatra: local legend says she swam here when Mark Antony gave her this coast as a gift. It is known for its fine sand and clear, calm water that deepens gently, and it regularly holds the Blue Flag for clean beaches. A promenade, cafés and hotels run behind it, and its serviced sections offer sunbeds and umbrellas, while other stretches are open. From its eastern end, Alanya Castle rises on its rocky headland, the Damlataş Cave lies at the start of the beach, and a climb up to the castle gives a view of the whole bay from above. Access to the beach is free, while sunbeds and umbrellas are rented. Summer is hot and busy, while May and October are milder and the sea is still warm.
