After passing through a dangerous road adventure, you want to go to the sea to bring yourself your casilan vucuz, but you want to go to the sea to bring your casilan vucuz to yourself, but you want to go to the sea to bring you into the sea, you want to go to the sea, you want to go to the sea, you want to go to the sea, you want to go to the sea, you want to go to the sea, you want to go to the sea, you want to go to the sea. It 's a little less crowded , and maybe it 's more hectic , but unfortunately , it 's freezing into Indian rivers around 34 . There 's a good sea for sandy pebbles , but unfortunately , it 's awful . I don 't think every shot goes one time . Prices are relatively affordable for the municipality, and seasonality is not utopian, but if you have a shovel on the sea, I think instead of stalling here, you can stop it being a waste of time.

Brown tourist signs point the way to Sarsala Koyu as you approach Dalaman Airport. It is the last but one turning before the airport security check point. The road goes through the village of Kapıkargın and then the view opens out as you climb up above Kocagöl, a beautiful blue lake. Allow 20 or 30 minutes to drive from the airport road to Sarsala depending on your confidence on winding mountain roads and how good you are at resisting the many photo opportunities. It is a sealed surfaced road all the way but twisty. There are a few places where it is single track for a short while but passing places are easily seen and I doubt reversing will be necessary. (Co-ordinates are 36°39.665' N - 28°51.118' E).
From the top of the final descent there is a view of the beach, blue sea and some of the famous 12 islands of Gocek Bay. This spectacular view is the one seen on most photographs of Sarsala. There are picnic spots and walking trails on the hillside from which to take in the view.
Sarsala has a large car park which costs a few lira in summer. The car park is next to the beach and, at quieter times, there is some shaded parking.
The beach becomes crowded at summer weekends but at other times there are few people here. The gritty sand goes gradually into the calm water, ideal for sea bathing. There is a lifeguard on duty most summer days. Sun beds and umbrellas are available to rent, but there are plenty of areas of naked sand and rocks. There is a snack bar and changing rooms. Boat trips from the jetty can be arranged in season. A way marked walking trail follows the coast to Hamam Koyu (Cleopatra’s bath) from the end of the beach away from the road.
Summer weekends and local holidays are best avoided, unless you like the buzz of a crowd at play. It is then that the problem of discarded cigarettes and other rubbish becomes an issue too.

Beautiful nature. Good set. There’s almost everything about eating and drinking at the municipality’s establishment. Prices aren’t as expensive as a special, but I think they might be more affordable. The admission price was much better when I went before the opening season. You also pay for sunbeds inside. If you can find sunbeds :) The sea is gorgeous. Recommendation to go with a sea shoe.

Yes, yes, Sarsala is stunnungly beautiful. The question is, are you willing to risk your life to get there? The road is extremely dangerous and it involves a number of sharp turns with barely enough space for cars to pass one another. How anyone can relax on this beach, knowing they have to make their way back up the steep road with zero barriers and Formula 1 drivers is a mystery to me. I am not overreacting here: I would never recommend that this beach be approached by land. Also, going on a Sunday was a bad idea: the place is overcrowded with nowhere to park: we spent more time looking for parking than on the actual beach. The toilets are very dirty....No, honestly, look at pictures of Sarsala, or, if you really need to go, approach it by water (apparently there are ferries from Fethiye). The disadvantages far outweigh the otherwise fabulous views.

Dreadful, terrifying drive of 5 miles on an edge of cliff road, with barely passing room for two cars!!to an overcrowded beach! Not a sunbed in sight!! 30 minutes queue for food and no where to sit and eat it!! Definitely would not recommend it!

Not very easy to locate it as mostly by local people go there.There is small fee for entrance and parking is not arranged very well,so dusty.Sea is calm and quiet but the beach is not clean very well.Trash and cigarette remainders are every where.Needs to be well cleaned by the beach management.There is a small caterer here where you can buy yr drinks and light snacks at small fee.

Drove there through narrow switchback road. ( coming from Dalaman head towards Dalaman airport and turn left off main road signposted with brown sign to Sarsala takes about 30 mins) descend steep windy descent to chaotic car park. Standard Trl 2,50 per person entrance.
The scenery and setting really is spectacular.
It is a stony/ gritty beach.
What let it down for me was there was a lot of litter on the beach ( napkins, paper, fag ends) and in the sea, which I have not seen at other Turkish beaches.
It was quite busy, mainly turkish families as it was a Sunday, but not too crowded,
There is a snack shack, 4 soft drinks Trl 10 so not expensive.
There was also a manned lifeguard tower and the sea is gentle and warm, quite stony,
Glad we have seen it but I wouldn't rush back, the drive and car park are a pain and Sarigerme is cleaner and sandier.

Maalesef ülkemizin en büyük sorunu nitelikli hizmet sonra deniliyor ki Yunan adalarında ne buluyorsunuz ? .Deniz aynı doğa aynı Dalaman belediyesinin işletmesi bence de olumlu ama çok mu zor be birader bir kaç tane tuvalet ile duşların temizliği yorumların çoğunluğu doğa harikası ile başlıyor ,üç beş tane duş -wc lerin temizliği bile işletmede sorun oluyorsa Muğla Büyükşehir Belediyesi bu rezilliğe el atmalı.Bölge yetkililerinin İzmir ilçe belediyelerinin Doğa ve Plajların nasıl üstüne titrediğini görsünler.Yakışmıyor Dalaman ve Muğla ya.

Hi,
If you have a late departure, 21.00hrs would you still be able to use the facilities all day?

Though I didn't stay till that late, I suppose you will still be able to use the facilities for in summer that hour is not a late time in such places. (In such places, sun sets the schedule. So, you should look at the time of the sunset. I live in a place with the same longitude and here we have sun at 20.00hrs in summers.)
