Of the many charming bathing places in the surrounding area of Fethiye, the popular coastal lagoon of Oludeniz (Dead Sea) in the Belcegiz Bay is the probably the finest beach in the whole country. The growth in tourism has seen this part of the coast become somewhat overdeveloped.  Paragliding from the hills of Fethiye over the Oludeniz Beach is a popular alternative sport in Fethiye.  You can also visit the 12 islands via the daily boat tours.
