Horse Riding on the Beach in Side
Swap Your Beach Walk for Hoofprints in Side!
Discover another side of the Turkish Riviera on horseback. This guided experience takes you beyond Side's busy hotel beaches into a quieter landscape of countryside paths, shaded stretches and open Mediterranean views. Riding at an easy pace lets you appreciate the surroundings rather than rushing between sightseeing stops.
From woodland trails to the sandy coast
The route brings together two sides of the region. Natural paths and wooded areas provide a peaceful introduction before the landscape opens towards the shoreline. Here, the sea breeze, sand and coastal scenery make riding in Side a memorable part of a beach holiday. The precise beach section is selected according to access, weather, ground conditions and safety, so the whole ride should not be understood as taking place directly on the sand.
Enjoy the ride at a suitable level
You do not need to have ridden a horse before. The team introduces the horses, explains the basic controls and provides assistance before the group sets off. The normal group pace is relaxed and guided. Guests with previous riding experience are also welcome; any faster riding on the beach is a separate decision made by the riding instructor at the horse farm after considering the rider's ability and conditions on the day.
A well-planned outdoor experience
The experience combines riding time with the convenience of transport from eligible Side hotel areas. Couples, solo travellers and families with children who meet the participation conditions can share the natural scenery without organising their own journey to the stables. Non-riding companions may join under the applicable companion option, but remain at the horse farm while the riders are out on the trail.
For the steps of the outing, see the Tour Programme below. Clothing, participation requirements, safety, companion arrangements and optional services are explained separately under Know Before You Go.
