TL;DR
In June-July 2026 the sea in Kemer is generally clean, especially in the mornings; occasionally afternoon waves bring in some fine debris (plastic bits, straw-like material), but overall much less trash than in nearby Alanya.
In early July there was almost no trash — just a bit of fine straw-like debris mostly near the pier, water was clear close to shore.
By mid-June, during the last days of a stay, fine plastic debris became much less common, only some foam remained, and the water cleared up after being murky earlier.
In the morning the water is usually crystal clear; any debris tends to show up closer to evening, and overall Kemer has noticeably less trash than Alanya.
In the evening, when waves pick up, some small debris can wash ashore, but the sea usually clears up again by the next morning.
