Big Pebble Beach Kas

Big Pebble Beach; A Day at Cool Beach

Big Pebble Beach is a place in Kaş where neither the crowds at the port nor the hustle and bustle of the market can reach. That is exactly why Büyük Çakıl Beach, just 1.5 kilometers from the center of Kaş, has become a getaway for those looking for peace.

Big Pebble Beach: True to its name

As its name suggests, the beach’s ground is not made up of fine sand but of large pebbles. This feature distinguishes it from other beaches, while also increasing the clarity of the sea. As soon as you set foot on it, you realize: Even walking on the pebbles is like therapy. Although sea shoes are recommended, the pebbles are surprisingly gentle for those who want to walk barefoot.

Another feature of Büyük Çakıl is the coolness of the water. It is said that some underground water sources around Kaş mix into the sea from the shore of this beach. This is a blessing for those who want to cool off even on the hottest days of summer. Watching the moments when the sun hits the water in the early hours of the morning is a ritual in itself.

Enjoyable Moments in Silence

Büyük Çakıl Beach is generally preferred by those who want to get away from the crowds of Kaş center. There are a few small cafes and restaurants lined up along the beach. You can rent a sunbed and spend the whole day, or there are areas where you can just spread out your towel and read a book. Most of the places are family-run; their menus include many flavors from fresh seafood to homemade lemonade.

Sitting at a table by the sea, especially at sunset, and watching Kaş’s orange sky is a priceless experience. At night, the beach falls silent. Unlike the crowded bars, you can be alone with the sound of the waves here.

Ideal for Diving and Snorkeling

Büyük Çakıl Beach is a unique spot not only for swimming, but also for snorkeling and free-diving enthusiasts. The seabed is stony and quite lively. It is possible to encounter colorful fish, sea urchins and various marine creatures. Although there are no professional tour companies for divers, all the natural beauty needed for surface diving is abundantly available here.

How to get there?

You can walk from the center of Kaş in 15-20 minutes, or you can take a minibus or taxi. The walking path offers both sea views and boutique cafes and souvenir shops along the way. Even this short walk is an enjoyable activity in itself.
