Gunluklu Beach
Gunluklu Beach in Yaniklar, Turkey
Gunluklu Beach is located in the Yaniklar area northwest of central Fethiye, on a stretch of coast between resort zones and quieter natural areas. It is chosen by those who want to spend time by the sea away from dense development, loud music, and busy promenades. Compared with the city and resort beaches of Fethiye, it is usually quieter here, and the overall atmosphere is closer to nature.
The main feature of this place is the combination of sea and forest. The coast is surrounded by coniferous trees as well as liquidambar trees, which are rare in Turkey and especially characteristic of this part of Mugla Province. Thanks to this vegetation, the beach stands out noticeably from the more open and hotter stretches of coast around Fethiye.
The shore at Gunluklu Beach is mostly sandy-pebbly, and the water is usually clear and suitable for relaxed swimming. This place is more often chosen for unhurried beach отдых, short walks in the shade of the trees, and day trips into nature. The beach is of interest to tourists who want to see a less developed side of the Fethiye coast and spend time in a more secluded setting.
Gunluklu is not among the most famous beaches in the region, but this is exactly what makes it attractive to many visitors. It suits those who value a natural landscape, the shade of trees, and a calmer pace of relaxation without pronounced urban infrastructure right by the water.

On this stretch of coast, you can spend a day by the water without the bustle typical of major resorts. The beach is suitable for swimming, relaxing on the shore, and short walks through the shaded areas near the sea. Thanks to the forest next to the beach, it is easier to shelter from the sun during the hottest hours here, which sets Gunluklu apart from many of the region’s more open beaches.
The shoreline surface is mixed - sand and pebbles, so some visitors may find it more comfortable to use water shoes when entering the sea. The water near the shore is usually calm and clear, and the coastal area is well suited to those who prefer not active water развлечения, but ordinary swimming and отдых in nature. The infrastructure here is generally more modest than on Fethiye’s popular beaches, and this is worth considering when planning a trip.
Nearby are other coastal areas of the Yaniklar district, as well as the better-known Calis Beach, which many people visit for a livelier atmosphere. Gunluklu itself is interesting precisely as a greener and calmer place against the backdrop of developed resort zones.
The beach is usually reached from central Fethiye by car or taxi along the road toward Yaniklar and Gocek. Before the trip, it is useful to check entry conditions and the availability of services on site in advance, as they may change depending on the season.
