The Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz is protected by a sandspit that turns the sea into a millpond, with water so clear you can count pebbles at chest depth. Pay the small entrance fee for the lagoon-side national park section rather than the open beach — that's where the calmest water is — and rent a pedalo for the full effect. Paragliders drift down from Babadağ all day, providing free overhead entertainment.
