Really beautiful bit of coastline. Worth a visit either side of the high season as it can be quieter and parking is easier. Quite a wild part of puglia so bring what you need, including food and drink because there is nothing really open.

Cristina Russo

10 Exceptional

Beautiful place, totally immersed in nature, in fact there is no type of structure (e.g. bar). You arrive at the car park above where you can leave your car under the olive trees at a cost of €3.50, and you reach the beach via a path of a few metres. To plant the umbrellas there are perforated concrete blocks in which to insert the umbrella. Shoes needed!! And the adventure across the wooden bridge and the ladders fixed to the rock walls is a must, you can discover fantastic little beaches! Truly wonderful!

Finally the beautiful sea, accessible with €4 guarded parking under the olive trees. Possibility of fresh water to buy from the owner. Few people, seabed with fish, small descent with steps. Caves where you can have shade and small coves with sand where you can access the sea. Fantastic

Great little beach like something out of a Mediterranean dream. But I would recommend bathing shoes because everything is rocky
