Fine-sand family bay west of Alanya.
İncekum is a gentle, pine-fringed bay in Avsallar whose name means "fine sand" in Turkish, with warm shallows that make it one of the calmest family beaches near Alanya. A private transfer from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) reaches it in around 1 hour 10 minutes, since the resort sits west of Alanya while the airport lies to the east.
Easy-going and family-centred rather than party-driven. Days drift between the shallow turquoise water and the shade of the pines, with picnic smoke, children's laughter and the hum of cicadas as the soundtrack. Evenings stay low-key, leaning on the all-inclusive resorts of Avsallar and a stroll along the bay rather than nightlife.
The standout features that set İncekum apart from every other Antalya region.

İncekum is in Avsallar, about 25 km west of Alanya in Antalya Province. The closest airport is Gazipaşa-Alanya (GZP), roughly 65 km away, while Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 100 km to the west.
A private transfer from GZP to İncekum takes around 1 hour 10 minutes for the 65 km drive, as you pass east of Alanya and continue west to Avsallar. Traffic and your vehicle can shift this slightly.
Its sand is famously fine and soft, and the seabed slopes very gradually, so the water stays shallow, warm and calm well offshore. That combination makes it one of the safest family beaches near Alanya.
İncekum is Turkish for "fine sand," named after the soft, powdery golden grains deposited along the bay by currents around the cape.
