The road from Fethiye to Ölüdeniz is 14 km. At the end of the hilly, downhill road, suddenly a magnificent blue appears before you. This is Belcekiz Bay. When you walk the beach stretching through the bay, you will see the unique Ölüdeniz. Ölüdeniz is like magic, it just stands still. There is not even a single moss at the bottom, it is covered with white sand. The light refracted by the water and the sand at the bottom gives a turquoise color. Oludeniz is shaded by pines and enriches this impressive turquoise.

The name Belcekiz is also based on a legend. In ancient times, ships passing through these places anchored in the open and came to the shore by boat to get drinking water. One day, when the young, handsome son of an old captain goes to the bay to get water, he sees the beautiful Belcekiz. He is shot on sight. The girl's heart is also on fire. But the boy has to take the water and return. The ship goes away. Belcekiz always watches the shore and her lover. The lad also comes to take water every time the ship passes through these places. So they meet, they make love.

One day, as the ship passes by, a storm breaks out. The young man tells his father that there is a sheltered, pool-like cove here. The old wolf, on the other hand, knows his son's heartache. He thinks that he is willing to smash the ship to see his son's lover. With the waves, the fight grows between father and son. Just as the ship is about to hit the rocks, the captain throws his son into the sea with a stroke of an oar and clings to the helm, and he sees the situation. The sea turns and enters a cove like a sheet. The boy dies there. Belcekiz, who is waiting for her loved one on the rocks, also throws herself from the rocks and dies. That day, the place where the girl died is called Belcekiz, and the place where the boy died is called Ölüdeniz. The sea, whose color changes according to the progress of the day, may be burning for a boy or a girl.

An area of 950 hectares in Ölüdeniz Kumburnu has been declared as Kıdrak Nature Park and taken under protection. This area, which includes Ölüdeniz Lagoon and Kıdrak Beach, is also within the SIT zone and special environmental protection area. There is also a water sports facility on the beach.
