Paradise Bay is a beautiful, tucked-away cove near Kemer where the turquoise sea meets forested slopes and sandy-pebble shorelines. Its name means “Bay of Paradise,” and it lives up to that with calm, clear waters, a lush green backdrop and a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re relaxing on the shore, floating in the sea or simply taking in the scenery of pine trees meeting the Mediterranean, it offers a quieter contrast to Kemer’s livelier beachfront. The gentle beach front is ideal for a slow morning swim or an afternoon of sunbathing under the trees.

Paradise Bay lies a short drive from Kemer, between Çamyuva and the ancient site of Phaselis, within the region of Antalya Province. It’s part of a protected natural area so the ambience is more tranquil and less built-up than resort beaches. You’ll find basic amenities like a small parking zone and simple facilities, but it’s best visited with the expectation of nature rather than high-end beach clubs. It’s popular on boat-tours, and many travellers include the bay in their “blue-trip” day trips from Kemer.
Because Paradise Bay is more natural than commercial, a few things to keep in mind: Bring your own shade (umbrella) if you’d like prolonged sun time, as tree cover may be scattered. Footwear that is ok for pebbles or mixed sand/pebble shores is helpful. The bay may get boat-tour crowds at peak noon hours, so if you prefer quieter time, aim for early morning or late afternoon. Facilities like food stalls or changing rooms are more limited than big resort beaches, so bring water, snacks or extra towels if you like. Respect the natural environment fewer built-in conveniences means the spot retains its charm.
From Kemer town centre you can drive or take a short transfer toward Çamyuva and follow signs toward Paradise Bay (Cennet Koyu). If you’re aboard a boat-trip from Kemer harbour, many tours stop at the bay for swimming and relaxation. If driving, the route winds slightly along the coast or through forested hills, so allow a little extra time. Parking is modest and you’ll likely walk a short distance from the car drop-off to the shoreline. From your hotel in Kemer ask for “Cennet Koyu / Paradise Bay” and local transport or taxi will bring you within easy reach.
The best time to visit Paradise Bay is in the morning or late afternoon to catch gentle light and fewer crowds. Early in the day the sea is calm, and you’ll enjoy the view and tranquility before midday boat-tour arrivals. Late afternoon is lovely too the sun lowers and the air cools, helping with beach comfort. The bay is open year-round but summer brings the warmest water and busiest hours; if you prefer more solitude aim for shoulder-season months like May or September. Allow a few hours so you can enjoy swimming, relaxing and maybe a short walk along the shoreline.
