Ölüdeniz Plajı

We took a day visit to The Blue Lagoon Beach in Ölüdeniz, what a sensational place to visit. The water is so blue and clear. From the mountain the water is just picture perfect! There are sunbeds all around the edge to use and someone comes around to charge for their use - I think it was 15 TL or close to this price so very reasonable.
My husband jet ski’d and my friend paraglided from the mountain! She had an amazing experience and bought pictures and video footage of her glide.
A pirate man came around with a parrot and we had some pictures taken which we later bought. We ate in the beach cafe, food was lovely and had an ice cream afterwards. There are toilet facilities- not the cleanest but bearable! Would absolutely recommend a visit here!

Really enjoyed our week here, better than expected, beach nice but very pebbly once into the sea, Blue lagoon beautiful and free pick ups. Plenty bars and restaurants to choose from and good value for money. Lots of trips available also great prices all day boat trip lunch for £15, £5 for pedalos or paddle boards so did lots of activities. Would definitely return!

We visited the blue lagoon Oludeniz twice last year and loved it so much we returned this year. We had such a lovely day watching the paragliders jumping of Bagadad mountain . The beach is well kept and tidy, plenty of sun Loungers which you can hire for just a few TL. The water is so so clear and great for swimming once you get over the rocky shore! The bars and restaurants on the beach seemed to have been updated this year and presented much nicer than last year. Plenty of places to get food and drinks.

The beach is beautiful and the colors are amazing BUT there are tons of garbage verywhere.
Bottles, cigars, napkins, bags and etc. It's so sad and disgusting.
Turkish people only care about making money and the tourists who visit are just pigs (most of them).
In addition to that, all the beach is covered by beds and umbrellas, so you can't normally walk around and enjoy the beach.

I spent a few days on the beach in Oludeniz and a few days on the beach of Cleopatra in Alania. So I can compare both of these places. My impressions are as follows:
Alania's Cleopatra Beach is very large. And there are hotels along the entire length. So there is no problem finding a hotel close to the beach. The Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon) beach is adjacent to a very small village. So it's hard to find a hotel. You will probably commute by car to get to the beach.
Using a car in Oludeniz in the high season requires spending about 40 minutes in traffic jams. Access to the beach by car, 2 kilometers away, takes about 40 minutes. The Oludeniz beach is very crowded. There is a huge amount of tourists there. There are fewer tourists on Cleopatra Beach.
There is sand on Cleopatra's Beach. Romantic walks in the setting sun are possible. There are stones on the Oludeniz beach. So forget about walking.
Cleopatra Beach is very clean. Oludeniz beach is dirty. You can see rubbish everywhere - even next to the sunbeds. The water on Cleopatra's beach is fairly clean. On the Oludeniz beach, 2 meters from the shore, the water is dirty. A little further - cleaner.
Cleopatra Beach is located in the city (Alania). Oludeniz Beach is surrounded by high mountains. There are nice views.
Summary - if you want to go to Oludeniz you may be disappointed. But there is one good news. From Oludeniz you can sail to the Butterfly Valley. It is a really beautiful place to be recommended.

Visited main beach at the bottom of the strip. Sunbeds very grubby 240 lira 2 beds and umbrella lots of fag ends lying about shingle beach water not always clear some pollution visible . Pictures advertising oludeniz all from height not a true reflection of ground level experience. The resort seems tired but probably trying to recover from covid

Oludeniz Beach is perfect for its location, sand and natural beauty. I did not like the water that quickly deepened and was quite wavy. I did not go to the very edge parts but I guess there will be more beautiful. You can see more foreign tourists than the local tourists at the beach where the paragliding people landing over you. Anyway, this beach must be seen.

Another example of being greedy is ruining something special. The water is dirty because of all the wastes dumped by the tour boats which should not be anywhere around this beach. There isn’t a pier or port that they can park yet they anchor the boats to the beach. The dirt on the surface of the water is visible when you swim & the water is blurry because of the dirt, it’s impossible to see even your own feet in the sea. When I asked about this to one of the restaurants on the beach, they ironically claimed the water is clean but at the end of summer it gets a little bit dirty & it’s normal. Do not go there unless you want to swim in a cesspool.

The boats must be banned immediately. They even don’t bother to avoid people enjoy the sea and take a route to advertise just near the swimming area instead.

The reason I have given a middle of the road score was because of the lack of Air conditioned bars or restaurants. The locals answer was a fan, not really adequate in 38c. A cool breeze from the sea just made it bearable. I wouldn’t advise for young people of 6 or under. This is ideal for the Sun worshippers with an appetite for sand, sea and booze.

Amazing beach. Azure waters, like a postcard. My only slight concern- we were here out of season and it was deserted.
It would be a very different place in high season- more thumping beach bars and crowds. Some people may prefer this. Each to their own
