Patara Beach

This beach has those low dunes of soft sand which seem to appear hazy when the wind picks up and little time lapse waterfalls of sand give the appearance of mist. Those dunes roll a long way to get to the sea, from ancient ruins behind the beach. The arc of the coast is long and gentle as well, this beach is about 15kms long and totally empty save a small café at one end. Lots of flat sand and water makes this a good beach for kids – they’ll never duck quite out of view and the water is fairly rip free.
