Belcekız Beach
Fethiye’s Turquoise Rhythm and Where the Sky Meets the Sea
Step out from the serene, tranquil waters of Kumburnu and into Belcekız just a few steps away, and you’ll instantly feel the energy shift. Belcekız is more than just a beach; it is the most dynamic stretch of coastline in Fethiye, where the turquoise waters meet the colorful paragliders drifting down from the summit of Babadağ. This is a "zone of freedom" where every moment holds the promise of action, and the rhythm of the sun and sea never skips a beat.
Welcome to the Landing Pad of the Sky
The unique feature that sets Belcekız apart from any other beach in the world is that it serves as the final destination for thousands of paragliders launching from Babadağ. Watching the sky fill with colorful wings while you lounge on the beach is the most natural daily ritual here.
-
Adrenaline & Serenity: With the energetic waves of the vast Mediterranean on one side and paragliders gently touching down right behind the shore on the other, Belcekız offers much more than a passive beach experience.
-
The Character of the Sea: Facing the open sea, the waters of Belcekız are always lively. The fine, white pebbles covering the shore are the primary reason for that famous, vibrant turquoise color. The water deepens quickly from the shore, providing a refreshing and crystal-clear experience for swimmers.
Escapes Go" Dynamism Note
Belcekız is where the pulse of Fethiye beats the fastest. Rather than just a place to "rest," it is an energy hub where life and adventure converge. Sitting here for a coffee means sharing in the stories of travelers from around the world and the excitement of those landing from the sky.
