Beach overall scores
Maldive del Salento (Lecce) is located outside the Pescoluse settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Maldive del Salento with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The parking is conveniently located and reasonably priced. However, beachgoers are required to rent a deckchair as placing towels directly on the sand is not permitted and the rental fees are quite steep. The beach tends to be quite busy but offers a sandy shoreline and clean water, although the color of the water is not a vibrant blue."
Larissa Zorin
"The ocean is so pristine, you could practically drink it (although we don't recommend it). The beach itself is quite picturesque, with just a smidge of algae lurking nearby. Don't fret about running low on cash, though - plastic reigns supreme here and you can even use it to pay for parking. If you're willing to fork over a pretty penny (or 32-60 euros, to be exact), you can..."
