Fethiye’nin kalabalıktan uzak, doğayla baş başa kalmış en özel köşelerinden biri kesinlikle Kabak Koyu. Buraya adım attığınız ilk andan itibaren şehrin tüm gürültüsü ve yorgunluğu geride kalıyor. Çam ve zeytin ağaçlarıyla çevrili dik patikalardan vadiye inerken karşılaştığınız turkuaz deniz manzarası tek kelimeyle büyüleyici. Plajın kum ve ince çakıl karışımı doğal yapısı hiç bozulmamış; işletmelerin tek tip şezlonglarıyla dolup taşan sıradan tatil beldelerinden çok farklı, tamamen özgür bir atmosfer sunuyor. Denizi pırıl pırıl, tertemiz ve hafif dalgalı olduğu anlarda bile yüzmesi inanılmaz derecede keyifli. Sabahın erken saatlerinde suyun dinginliği eşliğinde yüzmek ya da vadinin yamaçlarında kısa bir doğa yürüyüşü yapmak insanın enerjisini tamamen yeniliyor. Bölgedeki ahşap bungalovlar ve kamp alanları da doğanın dengesini bozmadan vadinin dokusuyla harika bir uyum yakalamış. Akşamüstü güneş kızıllığını denize bırakırken kumsalda oturup dalga seslerini dinlemek ve gece gökyüzünü kaplayan binlerce yıldızı izlemek paha biçilemez bir huzur veriyor. Ulaşımı biraz zahmetli olsa da vadinin korunan bu bakir yapısını tam olarak bu izole yollara borçluyuz. Hem bedenen hem de zihnen dinlenmek, doğanın saf gücünü hissetmek ve gerçek bir arınma deneyimi yaşamak isteyen herkesin ömründe en az bir kez mutlaka görmesi gereken eşsiz bir doğa harikası.

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

The water was very dirty, some boats and not a particular relaxing beach to lie on beaches of the rocks and pebbles. It felt a little scruffy? The view from above is incredible though!

A very hilly pebble beach with no proper road. It's not suitable for families; you'll be exhausted with children. It's a small beach.

The road leading down to the beach needs to be improved; it's a quiet, peaceful beach, not crowded, and the seabed is rocky.
