Kumlubuk Beach
Kumlubuk Beach in Marmaris, Turkey
Kumlubuk Beach is located on the southwestern coast of Marmaris, away from the busier stretches of the sea and not far from Turunc. This bay is known for its calm atmosphere, clear water, and a shoreline where pebbles mix with sand. The area is surrounded by green hills, which give the beach a secluded feel and shelter it from the bustle of the city.
Kumlubuk is chosen above all for a relaxing beach holiday, swimming, and snorkeling near the shore. The sea here is usually clean, and the entry into the water can vary in depth and surface in different parts of the coast, so visitors can easily choose a spot that suits their preferences. In high season, people come here both for the whole day and for a few hours during trips along the coast.
Along the bay, there are waterfront restaurants and small leisure areas where you can spend time after swimming. The beach is also of interest to those who want to combine the sea with walks in the surrounding area: nearby are other bays and coastal views typical of this part of Marmaris. Compared to the central beaches of Marmaris, it is usually quieter here, so Kumlubuk is often chosen by travelers for whom the natural setting matters more than urban infrastructure.

The shoreline in Kumlubuk stretches along a sheltered bay, so the sea here often looks calmer than on open parts of the coast. The beach surface is mixed - sand and small pebbles, and the water quickly becomes fairly deep depending on the exact spot. Thanks to the clarity of the sea, this stretch is suitable for snorkeling near the shore and leisurely swimming.
On the beach and nearby, you can usually find sunbeds, umbrellas, and waterfront venues serving fish, seafood, and simple Turkish dishes. Part of the beach strip is connected to restaurants and private leisure areas, so the way the infrastructure is used may vary. Before your trip, it is worth keeping in mind that at the height of the season there may be less free space by the water than it appears in photos.
From Kumlubuk, it is easy to combine relaxation with short trips around the area: Turunc and other small bays on the southern coast of Marmaris are nearby, reachable by boat or along coastal roads. The area is also suitable for short walks on the slopes with views of the bay, especially in the morning and evening hours.
You can get here from central Marmaris by car or taxi via Turunc, and in season some visitors also arrive by sea on excursion or private boats. The road follows the winding coastline, so it is best to plan the trip with extra time.
