will be there during the best time to windsurf. The top rated beach
is the “Alacati”. The shoreline is clean and well maintained. The

rent equipment right there on the beach. For those of you that want
this option, you will want to go to “Akyarlar Feneri”. This great
beach is located in the Bodrum peninsula. Along with the option to
rent your equipment there, you can also take lessons on windsurfing.

that will help you to be a better surfer.

enjoy, is that the beach is not crowded. Sometimes at the most
popular beaches, their will be a lot of people that are in the way.

Feneri), is that it has rough surf that is not beneficial to people
that are just learning to surf. If you are a great surfer, then you

For the windsurfers that are just starting out, there is
another beach that offers you similar opportunities. It is known as
“Bitez cove”. You are able to rent the equipment that you need to
windsurf on the beach at a shop, or even at the hotels. The winds at
the beach are usually calm and light. This makes the waves smother
and less choppy.
That is why they are so great for beginners. On the
other side of the cove, you will see your more experienced
windsurfers. The waves on that side are much larger and rough.
Surfers that know what they are doing, will enjoy the waves here.
Because of the beaches ability to host windsurfers from all age
groups, it is the third most popular place for tourist to windsurf
