Can you smoke on Antalya beaches, and are there designated smoking areas?
Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago
TL;DR
In practice, people do smoke on Antalya beaches even if restrictions formally exist. Travelers report designated smoking spots by tables, but ashtrays are often placed around the beach more widely too.
What the community said
Recent traveler feedback says there are designated smoking areas by the tables on the beach. So smoking is at least formally allowed in specific spots rather than being completely banned everywhere.

Travelers also note that ashtrays are placed in many parts of the beach, so in reality people smoke beyond the marked areas too. If cigarette smoke bothers you, it’s better to sit farther from tables and denser seating zones.

Based on traveler comments, don’t expect strict enforcement: if people smoke even in cafés and restaurants, it’s even more common on the beach. For non-smokers, this is more about picking the right spot than relying on a total ban.
