Top Beaches in Bodrum

If you're craving some local eats, hit up those little beachside cafes. I found a gem where lunch didn't break the bank and was delish!

My advice is to bring your own drinks... The beach bars charge a premium, and I kind of regretted paying so much for a soda... Just grab something from a store before you hit the sand!

I think trying their cocktails is a must, but if you’re on a budget, check for happy hour deals! They can save you a good chunk of change, especially if you're there for an evening sunset.

My advice is to bring your own beach towels and umbrellas if you can. Renting them at Happy Beach can add up quickly, and it’s nice to have your own space and comfort.

I suggest checking out the beach club's menu before arriving. They have some delicious local dishes, but the prices can be a bit high. Eating nearby at local spots can save you some cash and offer more authentic options

I recommend arriving by around 10 AM. It gets crowded pretty fast and you’ll want to snag a good spot on the sand. Plus the morning sun is perfect for lounging.

My advice is to hit the beach before 10 AM to grab a good spot. It gets really crowded after that, and you want to enjoy the sun without fighting for space!

Check out the free parking on the side of the road. I learned the hard way by paying at a lot thinking it was the only option.

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. Prices at the nearby cafes can be a bit steep, and packing a picnic saves some bucks

I suggest you hit the beach around 9 AM to snag the best sunbeds before the crowds roll in. Trust me, I made the mistake of going later and ended up sitting on the sand.
