Limanağzı Bay Kaş: How to Get There from Kalkan – Boat, Car Hire or Private Transfer Guide with Alper Tourism

If you’re staying in Kalkan or Kaş and dreaming of a day at one of the Turkish Mediterranean’s most peaceful, car-free beaches, Limanağzı Bay (also called Limanağzı Koyu) should be top of your list. This hidden gem sits just across the bay from Kaş town centre – a sheltered, south-facing cove with crystal-clear turquoise water, rustic beach clubs under olive trees, and zero road access. It’s the perfect escape for British holidaymakers who want calm swimming, fresh seafood, and that authentic Turquoise Coast vibe without the crowds of busier spots.

But the big question every visitor asks is: how do you actually get to Limanağzı Bay from Kalkan or Kaş? Boat only? Hiking? Can you drive? And is car hire or a private transfer the smarter choice? Here’s the complete 2026 guide – written especially for English-speaking guests in the Kalkan and Kaş area.

Why Limanağzı Bay Feels Like a Secret Paradise

Unlike many beaches in Kaş, Limanağzı has deliberately stayed car-free to protect its natural beauty. You’ll find five relaxed beach clubs (Bilal’s, Hakiliki, La Moda, Nuri’s and Yılka) with wooden platforms over the rocks, sunbeds, simple menus and calm, shallow water that’s ideal for families. The bay faces south, so you get sunshine all day, and the views back across to Kaş harbour are stunning.

Because there’s no road down to the clubs, the journey itself becomes part of the adventure – but it’s easier than it sounds when you plan it right.

From Kaş Centre: The Quickest Route (15–20 Minutes)

The standard (and most scenic) way is the water taxi from Kaş harbour.

Boats leave every 30 minutes from around 9am until the last return at about 7pm (times can vary slightly in low season – just check at the kiosk).
Journey time: 15–20 minutes of lovely coastal sailing.
Return ticket: usually 200–350 TL per adult (children often half price).

You simply tell the captain which beach club you want, and he drops you right at the jetty. It’s cheap, reliable and part of the fun.

From Kalkan: 30–40 Minutes to Kaş + Boat (Total 1 Hour Door-to-Door)

Kalkan to Kaş is an easy drive or bus ride along the D400.

Driving time: 25–35 minutes (about 25 km).
Dolmuş/minibus: 40 minutes, cheap but can be crowded in peak season.

Once you’re in Kaş, you’re only a short stroll or quick transfer from the harbour boats.

Car Hire vs Private Transfer – Which is Best for British Guests?

This is where Alper Tourism makes life simple for Kalkan and Kaş visitors.

Option 1 – Car Hire with Alper Tourism

Rent a comfortable automatic car (air-conditioned, full insurance, English-speaking handover) and drive yourself to Kaş harbour. Park easily nearby, hop on the boat, and you have total flexibility for the whole day. Perfect if you want to combine Limanağzı with a visit to Kaputaş Beach or a sunset drive back. Many of our British clients love the freedom – and our rates include 24/7 roadside assistance.

Option 2 – Private Transfer with Alper Tourism

Door-to-door service straight from your Kalkan villa or Kaş hotel to Kaş harbour (or even directly to the hiking start point if you’re feeling adventurous). No stress with buses, no parking worries, and our English-speaking drivers know exactly where the water taxis leave. Ideal for families, couples who just want to relax, or anyone arriving after a flight. Many guests tell us the private transfer feels like a mini tour in itself.

Which one wins?

If you’re staying in Kalkan and want freedom for multiple days, go for car hire. If you just want one stress-free trip to Limanağzı, book a private transfer – it’s often cheaper than you think and saves time.

The Hiking Option (Only for Fit Adventurers)

Keen walkers can reach Limanağzı via the Lycian Way. Start from Büyük Çakıl Plajı (Big Pebble Beach) in Kaş – it’s a 45-minute to 2.5-hour walk depending on your starting point. The path climbs through pine forest with amazing views, but it includes a rocky ledge section and gets very hot in summer. Not recommended with young children or in July/August unless you’re experienced.

Practical Tips for Your Limanağzı Day Trip

Arrive early or reserve sunbeds via the beach clubs’ Instagram pages in high season.
Take water and comfortable shoes if hiking.
Beach clubs usually include sunbed use with a minimum food/drink spend – simple Turkish meals and cold beers are excellent value.
Last boat back is around 7pm – don’t miss it!
The bay is part of a protected area, so leave only footprints.
