Altinkum Beach

Altınkum Beach, whose name means “Golden Sand,” is the shining jewel of Didim’s coastline. Its long stretch of fine, golden sand meets calm, clear Aegean water that gently slopes — perfect for swimming, lounging, and relaxing. The beach is backed by a lively promenade lined with cafés, restaurants, bars, and shops, giving it a friendly, resort feel. By day, it’s a sun-drenched playground; by evening, it becomes a glowing venue for sunset strolls and socializing.
