Alagadı Beach

Alagadi Turtle Beach is made up of two bays that are adjacent to each other. One is always busy and has a restaurant called Turtle Paradise, while the other is more secluded and ideal for those looking for a quiet day at the beach. Bring your own beach supplies because neither bay has sun beds or umbrellas. During the summer, sea turtles lay their eggs on Alagadi Beach, and the volunteer organization SPOT organizes turtle nest excavations, which can be attended by reservation.

SPOT's turtle-watching tours are held at night and range from seeing turtles nesting in late spring and summer to seeing baby turtles released into the sea in late summer. The beach is a protected area and is not developed due to the turtle population on the bay here. It's also illegal to be on the beach after dark unless you're on one of SPOT's tours.
