It is a very wide bay entering to the west, 7 miles east of Taşlık Cape. At the bay entrance on the port side, there is Küçükçavuş Cape Light. The bay is also known as Çavuş Harbor.

There are many locations suitable for anchoring in the wide bay. These are different anchorage spots to be preferred according to weather conditions. 

At the entrance of the bay, high slopes on both sides attract attention. The northern side is rocky, the southern side is pine forest. The bay ends with a 2 km long wide beach. The southern part of this beach is the most suitable place for anchoring. Here, one can anchor at 4-6 meters on sandy bottom and generally stay at anchor. 

The currents and winds affecting the bay may cause your boat to take the currents from the beam at this location. In this  situation, it is advisable to moor stern-to shore at a suitable area. Right next to this location, there is another small bay where local boats stay in the cove. One can also anchor at the end of these coves.

When the northeasterly wind prevails in the bay, the northern part of the beach is more suitable for anchoring.

On the northern shore, near the bay exit, there are two more small bays. In suitable weather, one can anchor here at 10 meters on sandy bottom and stay.

In Adrasan Bay, there are hotels and restaurants, markets and water sports center. The bay has a road connection to Antalya highway.
