Kaputas Beach, a natural miracle hidden between the steep cliffs between Kas and Kalkan in Antalya, is one of the most special beaches in the Mediterranean. What makes it so special is not only its turquoise waters; it is also its untouched structure that seems to be secretly hidden in the middle of a wild nature. Kaputas, which fascinates thousands of travelers every year, is not just a sea-sand-sun route, it is an experience area.
This beach, which can be reached by a 20-minute drive from Kas, is actually located on the edge of a bend that you can pass by in the blink of an eye. The first moment you see the turquoise sea from above while passing by the coastal road offers a view that is engraved in your memories. After the small parking lot right above the beach, a staircase of approximately 180 steps takes you down to the gates of heaven. This walk may be a bit difficult, but the view that awaits you below is worth all your fatigue.
The most striking feature of Kaputaş Beach is the color and clarity of the water. At this point where the natural spring waters coming from underground meet the sea, the water is extraordinarily cool. The beach formed by fine sand and stones shines like gold in the sunlight. The water color, which constantly changes with the wave movements, offers a color scale ranging from turquoise to emerald and deep blue. It is like a natural studio for photography enthusiasts!
The beach is completely open to the public and is operated by the Kaş Municipality. This ensures that both transportation and food and beverage options are affordable. There are areas where you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, showers and changing cabins, and a small buffet. In other words, although its naturalness is preserved, basic needs have been considered.
It is a separate pleasure to swim in Kaputaş. However, those who are not good swimmers should be careful as the sea deepens suddenly. This bay, which can be wavy frequently, is perfect for those who love to swim and those looking for cool waters. While the beach is calmer in the early morning hours, the crowd increases in the afternoon. Therefore, arriving close to sunset offers both a quieter environment and unique sunset views.
Kaputaş Beach takes on a different atmosphere not only in the summer months but also in spring and autumn. In the spring months, when nature wakes up, the flowers and bird sounds surrounding it make this place even more peaceful. It may be a bit chilly for swimming, but it is definitely worth visiting for the view.
Watching the entire beach from a bird’s eye view from the vantage point right above the beach is a different experience. This is an open-air paradise, especially for those who shoot drone footage. Not only swimming in the sea at Kaputaş, but even sitting and listening to the sound of nature purifies you.
If you are vacationing around Kaş or Kalkan, definitely include Kaputaş Beach in your route. Come early in the morning and enjoy the sea. You have a light snack at the buffet at noon and bid farewell to the Mediterranean. Kaputaş Beach will offer you not only a beach day, but also an unforgettable bond with nature.
