Take the main road to Kas you will see the Patara turn off clearly marked on the right it's a few miles down that road. It's roughly a 45-60 minute drive from Fethiye.

Take D400 all the way down, and you will see a sign post marked for Patara.  Go through the village and keep on the same road for the main part of the beach. (Other end of the beach is accessible via another route, but not so easy to find).  Have fun, its a fabulous beach - nice shower facilities and good bar.

Drive on the D400 (the main road from Dalaman)to Kemer roundabout and lights and turn right,follow this road until you see signs for Patara. It is a very good road and not too busy, I enjoyed the scenery.

We use the other end of the beach - could never pass directions, as we are never really sure ourselves when we drive - but the dolmus from Fethiye to Kadere takes you there. This end is where the river meets the sea, and its really nice to have fresh water to jump into.
Also lots of space this end for kiteboards (not that we have one!), Not really anything here apart from a small cafe (i.e. no sunbeds or anything).

Much prefer the far end (where pictures taken) than the free-to-enter end where the jeep safaris go.  Sand is more grey than white and few facilities, tending to get very busy at weekends.

Not sure the details about bar only being open 3 months are correct. Ive been there in April, May, Aug and October in the past and always been open. Jimmys in Patara does a fine Turkish breakfast

Becareful if you are bathing at the river end of the beach the currents can be very strong there
