Salento’s peninsula, like every peninsula is wet from three sides by the sea, with the possibility to find it in every “angle”.
In Salento there are some of the best beaches in Italy, envied by many of the historic seaside like Rimini and Riccione.
The two seas who wet the Salento are the Ionic sea, on the west coast, and the Adriatic sea on the est coast.
It isn’t possible to describe one coast best of the other, the possibility to say this is rule of the tourists, after the view and the knowledge of both.
On the Ionic coast there are three beaches which stand out in a particolary way:
- Punta Prosciutto, Porto Cesareo
One of the best beach in Salento because of his clear and reflective water arounses amazement and wonder, also for the rocky bottom a few strokes from the shore.
- Porto Selvaggio, Nardò
It is situated in one of the most beautiful Natural Park. The sand part is small, because there are a lot of plebbes.
It is almost ovbious to say that you will be amazed by the sourrounding panorama, between high cliffs and vast green environments.
- Cala dell’Acquaviva, Marina di Marittima
It is a rocky cove, not very difficult to run across, but in any case it would be worth it.
- Torre Mozza, Ugento
One of the few sandy of the Adriatic coasts, particolary unique for his white sands, very rare across of us, otherwise insted the clear and reflective water very common here.
