Finike Sahili ve Marina
A mostly public beach running for kilometres east of the marina in central Finike. With no high-rise hotel development it stays calm year-round, while the area around the marina is lively with cafés and fish restaurants.
Finike beach has a sand-and-shingle floor rather than the pebbles usual along the Antalya coast, and it runs uninterrupted eastwards from the marina. The absence of tall buildings behind it keeps the shore both visually open and free of crowds. Most sections are public; the municipal stretch has showers and toilets.
The marina itself is a separate draw. As one of the wintering harbours for yachts cruising the Mediterranean, its pontoons hold boats all year, and the surrounding cafés and fish restaurants make a pleasant evening route. Despite being full of yachts, prices stay moderate compared with the main resorts.
From the western end of the beach you can walk into central Finike and on to the local market. In orange season (November to March) Finike oranges are sold there straight from the growers. In summer the light breeze that picks up in the late afternoon turns the shore into the best part of the day.
