Side has two main beaches lining its coast, one to the east and the other to the west. Both are long and sandy, offering water sports facilities, including fishing and windsurfing, but the west reaching beach has the shallowest water so is the safest and most popular.
The sand here is pale, and the water the bright shades of blue this region is famous for. The ruins, many visitors come to this part of Turkey to see are just beyond the beach. If you want a bit of peace there's enough spaces to wander until you're free of the eateries that line the sands.
