Heavy rain in Kas, a district of Antalya, sent runoff streaming down a canyon and into the sea at Kaputas Beach, where the water shifted into layered shades of blue, led by turquoise.
As the rainwater met the sea, the shoreline showed clear transitions from pale blue to turquoise and deep navy, while strong waves breaking on the beach threw up white foam that added another striking texture to the scene.
Kaputas Beach, a well-known stretch of coast near Kas in Antalya, drew locals and foreign visitors after the rainfall because the sea briefly took on multiple tones at once.
After the rainfall, water flowing from the canyon reached the beach and mixed with the sea, creating distinct color gradations that ranged from light blue through turquoise to dark blue.
With the waves running high, the surf hit the shore hard enough to produce bright white foam, which stood out against the blues and made the surface look even more varied from different angles.
The rare visual moment drew the attention of both local and international visitors, while aerial drone footage captured how changing weather conditions can briefly alter the color and texture of the Mediterranean shoreline in Türkiye.
