Spiaggia Torre dell'Orso (Lecce) is located outside the Torre dell'Orso 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 Spiaggia Torre dell'Orso 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
"During my visit to the beach in the beginning of September, the weather was still blazing hot and the sun was shining brightly. Accessing the beach is a breeze and parking your car is a mere few hundred meters away for a nominal fee of 3-4 euros. If you're looking to explore this side of Puglia, this beach is a must-see destination!"
Nicoletta Rossi
"The beach was great with lovely sand and a pleasant atmosphere. However, due to the strong winds, we couldn't use our umbrella, but it was only a short 100 meter walk away. It had a typical Italian feel with many Italians soaking up the sun. It was amusing to observe. Just be aware that there was an additional fee for the use of the shower facilities."
