İnlice Beach
A Peaceful Aegean Escape Under the Pine Trees
As you head from Fethiye toward Göcek, where the pine forests meet the sea, you will find İnlice Beach—one of the region’s most tranquil sanctuaries for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Unlike the typical white sands of Ölüdeniz, this beach features a unique shoreline of dark, fine pebbles. Managed by the Fethiye Municipality, this bay is an indispensable retreat for local families and those with children, thanks to its serene atmosphere where green meets blue, and its calm, shallow waters.

Important Ecological Note
İnlice Beach is not only our sanctuary; it is also a vital nesting ground for the endangered and adorable Caretta Caretta sea turtles.
Therefore, especially throughout the summer, it is our duty as "Escapes Go" travelers to ensure we do not leave any trash behind and to be extra sensitive and protective of these quiet owners of the beach and their nests.
