Its story
Mavikent Nature Park was declared on 30 June 2009 and lies in the Kumluca district of Antalya, 15 km from the district center and 125 km from Antalya. Dune afforestation was carried out here to prevent windblown coastal dunes from covering the surrounding land; Cyprus acacia and stone pine were planted near the sea, and eucalyptus as well in the inland parts. Foxes, martens, squirrels and badgers live on the flat terrain, which combines forest and dune ecosystems. The beach on the park's edge is a breeding ground for endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles. There are no facilities; it is suitable for nature walks, picnics, tent camping, cycling and sea activities.
