Gumbet is located on the Southwest coast of Turkey. This purpose-built resort is geared towards younger holidaymakers, couples and families and is best suited to those who prefer beaches by day and bars and clubs by night. There are a number of souvenir shops, fast food outlets and snack bars in the resort centre. During the day watersports are available on the light sand beach including water ski-ing, parasailing and windsurfing. Gumbet has good connections to Bodrum by dolmus (minibus), where there is a wider choice of shops. Gumbet's coastal waters are warm and clear, ideal for families with young children. The resort used to be a sleepy little village, but that's in the past, as the resort is now nearly as busy as its big sister, Bodrum.
