Ölü Deniz is one of Turkey's most famous and most photographed beaches. It's beautiful cobalt blue lagoon (also known as “Blue Lagoon”) sweeps into a coarse pale sand and pebble beach, which is framed by a beautiful backdrop of pine forests and mountains. The lagoon area is sheltered and is a national park for which a nominal entrance fee is charged.




The main beach is so big that even in high season it never gets crowded. Water sports are available and you can paraglide for a panoromic view of the lagoon. There are a great selection of beach bars and restaurants and a handful of shops and mini-markets in the area, but for a real shopping experience you need to go to Fethiye.
