Travel writing based on first-hand experience
Çeşme does beach days like it’s auditioning for a summer movie: white loungers, turquoise water, salty hair, DJs at sunset, and just enough wind to make your linen shirt feel like a personality trait.
But here’s the trick: Çeşme is not one single beach mood. One day we’re floating in a calm sandy bay in Altınkum, the next we’re pretending to be effortlessly glamorous in Aya Yorgi, and by evening we’re somewhere in Alaçatı watching a DJ turn happy hour into a small coastal uprising.
The best beach clubs in Cesme range from family-friendly sandy beaches to sleek adults-only hangouts, boho Ovacık hideouts, and big-name party spots where reservations are less of a suggestion and more of a survival strategy. So, before you throw on swimwear and hope for the best, let’s pick the right beach club for your kind of day: calm sea, good food, sunset cocktails, water sports, or full “we came for a swim and accidentally stayed until midnight” energy.
Planning more of Turkey’s Aegean coast?
Çeşme beach clubs are where “just one swim” becomes a full-day operation involving loungers, turquoise water, late lunches, iced drinks, dramatic sunglasses, and the slow realization that we may never be productive again.

Best beach clubs in Cesme
Tip:
Çeşme and wind are basically in a long-term relationship. When the north wind blows, the southern beaches usually behave beautifully; when the south wind kicks in, the northern coast tends to flatten out. Before you pick your beach club and commit like it’s a summer romance, check the wind on Wind Guru.
1. Before Sunset, Ovacık
You’ve probably already seen Before Sunset somewhere on Instagram, looking all smug and sun-drenched. This is one of Çeşme’s most photogenic beach clubs, with that “someone drove here from Bali and unpacked an entire lifestyle” aesthetic. It sits in Azmak Bay in Ovacık village, one of the loveliest corners of Çeşme for clean, calm coves.
During the week, it’s a solid pick if you want peace, turquoise water, and the faint illusion that your inbox no longer exists. On weekends, it turns up the volume. The owner is also a DJ, so yes, the parties can get properly good.
The sea here is sandy, which is always a win. Alongside the regular sunbathing areas, there are eight beachfront bungalow cabanas if you want the “we planned this beautifully” version of a beach day. Towels are provided, the food is good, and reservations are very much not optional unless you enjoy being politely rejected in swimwear.
Address: Ovacık Mah., Azmak Koyu 381/A, 35930 Çeşme. Click here for the website and location.
2. Boheme Beach, Ovacık
Boheme Beach opened in the 2019 season in Ovacık, right next to Before Sunset Beach, because apparently this little stretch of coast decided to become ridiculously photogenic. Expect dreamcatchers, swings, white tents, and all the beach-club props required for people who say, “I’m not really taking photos today,” and then take 74.
Reservations are only accepted via Instagram DM. If you’re visiting with children, you can only reserve private cabanas, so plan ahead before the beach-day fantasy turns into a logistics circus. The beach itself is clean and sandy, and the venue is also pet-friendly. Happy hour runs daily from 5 PM to 9 PM, while Sundays bring parties from 8:30 PM until midnight.

3. The Beach Of Momo, Dalyan
You’ve probably heard of The Beach of Momo because celebrities have a habit of finding nice places before the rest of us. It’s one of the most upscale beach clubs in Çeşme, but don’t let that scare you into imagining velvet ropes and judgmental sunglasses. A better description? Good food, friendly people, cool water, and clean, simple decor.
The setup includes sun loungers, a private beach area for groups, a bar, and a restaurant. Happy hour starts at 5 PM, and the sunset DJ parties are the real headline act. Dancing with your feet in the sea? Yes, absurdly nice. If you only have one day to spend here, try to line it up with a party day. Happy hour reservations can be made by DM.
Address: Üniversite Mah., 4417 Sokak, 3011. Sk. No:2, 35930 Çeşme. Click here for the Instagram account and location.
4. Cove, Aya Yorgi
Cove opened in 2018 in the former Babylon location in Aya Yorgi, one of Çeşme’s prettiest bays. And honestly, when the sea and breeze are doing this much of the work, a beach club already has a serious head start.
It quickly became one of the most popular beach choices in Çeşme, thanks to Aya Yorgi Bay’s calm water, easy summer atmosphere, and that gentle breeze that makes you think you could live like this forever. You probably cannot, but let’s not ruin the mood. Reservations are strongly recommended.
Address: Sakarya Mah. 3166 Sokak No: 12 Aya Yorgi Koyu, Çeşme. Click here for Instagram, the website, and location.
5. Sole Mare, Aya Yorgi
Sole Mare is one of the old-school classics of Çeşme’s Aya Yorgi area. It’s the kind of place that has been around long enough to know exactly what it’s doing: sandy beach, calm sea, daytime lounging, and nighttime energy.
The beach is fully sandy, and the sea is usually very calm, making it a good option for families with children. By day, it’s a beach club. By night, it slides into nightclub mode. The famous “Happy Hour” after 5 PM is especially popular, and a soft drink is included in the entrance fee.
Address: Sakarya Mahallesi, Aya Yorgi Mevkii No:6 Çeşme Merkez, İzmir. Click here for Instagram, the website, and location.
6. Yuzu Beach, Aya Yorgi
Yuzu Beach opened in 2019 in the Aya Yorgi area, and it brings a polished, grown-up beach-club mood to the bay. The ambiance is lovely, and the sushi gets a lot of praise, which is exactly the sort of information we like to have before committing to a sun lounger.
One important detail: Yuzu Beach only allows guests over 21. So this is not the place for a family splash-about; it’s more for adults who want music, sushi, cocktails, and a little summer theatre. Reservations are made via Instagram DM.
Address: Sakarya Mh, 3166. Sk. No:2, 35930 Çeşme. Click here for Instagram and location.
7. OM / Paparazzi, Aya Yorgi
Paparazzi has history. Established in 1984 in Aya Yorgi Bay, it was Çeşme’s first beach club, which means it was doing the whole beach-party thing before everyone else arrived with linen shirts and Instagram reels.
It’s known not only for its beach, but also for live music nights, parties, and restaurants. After closing for a while, it reopened in summer 2021 with a renewed look, merging with OM, which also includes a Kolektif House branch, Starbucks, a fitness center, and a spa. Basically, it went away and came back with a whole lifestyle ecosystem. Click here for Instagram.
Address: Aya Yorgi Mevkii, No:11, 35930 Çeşme. Click here for the location.
8. Sommer Klein Beach, Alaçatı
Sommer Klein Beach is all clear water, sandy beach, and warm sea, which is already a strong argument in its favor. The beach fee includes sun loungers and umbrellas, so at least one part of the day is wonderfully straightforward. There’s also a restaurant with a decent range of options.
The Dusk and Sommer Klein sections host DJ parties, after-parties, and happy hours. In other words, this is not just a “bring a book and nap under an umbrella” beach, although nobody is stopping you from trying. As usual in Çeşme, reservations are required.
Address: Alaçatı Mahallesi, Çark Plajı Mevkii Sea Side Yolu Mehmet Koyu, 35930 Alaçatı Çeşme. Click here for the Instagram account and location.
9. Ojo Alaçatı, Alaçatı
Ojo Alaçatı is located within Kafe Pi, part of Unique Alaçatı, a complex packed with different venues. Now, Kafe Pi may not be everyone’s usual first choice, but Ojo has given the area a fresher, sharper beach-club feel.
In the evenings, Ojo hosts happy hour performances by DJs familiar from Istanbul. So if your ideal beach day ends with music, drinks, and just enough chaos to make it feel like summer, this one deserves a spot on the list.
Address: 18001 Sokak No:3/1C Unique, 35930. Click here for the Instagram account and location.
10. Elias Beach, Harbor Area
Elias Alaçatı brings a little Greek island mood to the Çeşme coast. The former Rise & Shine became Elias Alaçatı for the 2021 season, and the whole place leans into that breezy Aegean atmosphere through both decor and food.
The biggest draw, apart from the setting, is the chance to try Greek dishes prepared by Greek chef Stathis Dapiasis. So yes, you can sit by the water in Alaçatı and pretend you briefly island-hopped without dealing with ferries, schedules, or anyone asking where your passport is.
Address: Alaçatı, Süzer Sun Dreams Hotel, 35930. Click for Instagram and location.
11. Alaçatı 11 Beach, Harbor Area
Alaçatı 11 is a beach club that works both day and night, thanks to its restaurant and Alaçatı 11 Beach Bar. It sits on a beach where water sports, turquoise sea, and nightlife all collide in a very Çeşme way.
The water is cool, the shoreline is sandy, and the wind makes the area suitable for sports like windsurfing and sailing. So you can either do something athletic and impressive, or sit nearby with a drink and admire other people doing something athletic and impressive. Both count as participation, spiritually.
Address: Çark Beach, Liman Mevkii, 18010 Sokak No:11 Alaçatı Mahallesi, Çeşme. Click here for the Instagram account and location.
12. Single Fin Yellow, Opposite the Harbor
Single Fin Yellow used to be in Surf Zone, but in 2020 it moved to its new location across from Alaçatı Port, right next to the Çağla Kubat Surf School. This means you can surf, learn to surf, or lounge around pretending you are “considering surfing later.” We support all three versions.
By evening, the venue shifts into a happy hour concept and stays open until morning, with performances by well-known DJs such as Parra For Cuva and Stvaroz. So if you want a beach day that casually mutates into an all-night music situation, Single Fin Yellow knows the assignment.
Address: Akçakaya Mevkii, Liman Karşısı, 35000 Liman Karşısı Alaçatı Çeşme. Click here for the Instagram account and location.
13. Fly-Inn Beach Club, Altınkum
Fly-Inn is a huge beach club in Altınkum, with capacity for around 2,500 people. Translation: this is not a tiny hidden cove where you whisper reverently at the sea. It’s big, lively, and built for a full beach-day operation.
The beach access fee includes sun loungers and towels, and happy hour starts at 5 PM. There’s also a cafe serving international cuisine, a bar with healthy drinks, and areas for water sports. Even though the place is large, making a reservation is still a smart move. Çeşme in summer does not reward the casual.
Address: Şehit Mehmet Mah. Pamukova Mevkii, Küme Evleri No: 921/1, Altınkum, 35930 Çeşme. Click here for the website and location.
14. Fun Beach Club, Altınkum
Fun Beach is one of Çeşme’s classic spots, located in the Altınkum area. It has a calm, waveless, sandy sea, which makes it a strong choice if your dream beach day does not include being slapped repeatedly by waves.
Compared with some other venues, the music is calmer, and the atmosphere is more relaxed. You can also try parasailing and other water sports here. The beach has two sections: a grassy area and a sandy area. There are beachfront cabanas for groups and families, and it’s popular with families with children. Bonus: it’s pet-friendly too.
Address: Altınkum, Şehit Mehmet Yolu/Kum Kilise Mevkii, 10305 Çeşme. Click here for the website and location.
15. Quente Beach, Paşalimanı
Quente Beach sits in the Paşalimanı area, on a sheltered sandy beach with shallow, warm water arranged in a gentle semi-circle. In other words, it’s the sort of beach that makes families quietly exhale with relief.
The beach club offers grass, sand, and wooden areas, so you can choose your preferred version of lounging dramatically by the sea. It’s especially popular with families with children, and there are also cabanas with beds for groups who want to stay together rather than scatter like beach towels in the wind.
