TL;DR
Lara Beach is about 1 hour by bus from Antalya Old Town, while Konyaalti and Beach Park are closer. Mermerli is the nearest beach right in the Old Town.
The beach can be reached by bus in about 7–8 minutes or on foot in roughly an hour (one route goes through the Old Town). There is no food on the beach, Wi-Fi is paid, and it is worth bringing your own towels.
For families with kids, Konyaalti or Beach Park are more convenient from Old Town than Lara Beach, which takes about 1 hour by bus. Mermerli is the closest but small.
A practical alternative to independent beach trips is a day excursion from Old Town that includes sea swimming and food, lasting about 6 hours — no need to travel to Kemer or spend time on buses.
Guests at 4-star hotels on the second beachfront line note it's a long walk to the sea for multiple daily trips. Those prioritizing beach access recommend first-line hotels, while evening promenades remain enjoyable either way.
