Sarsala was once the port of farm of Hidiv Abbas Pasha of Dalaman, he was the governor of Egypt during the Ottoman Empire. Hidiv Abbas Pasha came from Egypt to Dalaman, where he wanted a hunting lodge built, as the area was abundant in wild life. A French construction company was given the task of building the lodge, but at the same time, the company was constructing a railway station in Egypt. Due to a bad mistake, the station was built in Dalaman and the Lodge in Egypt. The only station without railway connection is in Dalaman. Today, station building is the head office of state farm, which is still in production. There is an old marble column ashore where boats now tie. A catwalk with attractive surroundings goes to Dalaman and Kocagöl (4km) and is a nice route for strolling.

A cove on the south beyond finger point is called  Küçük Sarsala Koyu (36°39’01”N - 28°51’82”E). Boats can anchor on either side of it. At the head of the cove there is a cozy restaurant with a T pier that has laid moorings tailed to it.

A large bay lies towards Bozburun is called as Bozkoy; is perfect for those who prefer serenity when Sarsala gets crowded.
