Latest reviews on Lecce's beaches

Spiaggia di Punta della Suina
10 Ryland T.

The beach was absolutely stunning. I had the pleasure of encountering some incredibly friendly locals, which truly enhanced my overall experience.

Spiaggia di Punta Prosciutto
8 Emilio Dilorenzo

Spiaggia molto nota grazie ai suoi colori stupendi ed al suo fondale digradante che la rendono appetibile per tutti. Molto affollata durante l'alta stagione ed i weekend estivi, nonostante la difficoltà di raggiungerla con mezzi propri.

Marina Castro beach
10 Pippo Ottaviani

We took a 3-hour excursion that included exploring all the caves and coves along the coast from Castro to Santa Cesarea Terme that lead into the Adriatic Sea. We want to give a special thanks to Skipper Rolando and his son Alessandro for making our trip enjoyable even though the sea was rough. The boat was well-managed and their professionalism was outstanding. The stops at the coves were amazing, with crystal clear water that allowed us to have breathtaking swims and go snorkeling. The addition of music, onboard aperitifs, and overall happiness made the experience even better. We highly recommend booking directly on site.

Porto Badisco beach
8 Emilio Dilorenzo

Acqua cristallina in un'insenatura profonda e quindi spesso ben riparata. Invece della spiaggia di sabbia che in alta stagione è molto affollata, informarsi se possibile l'accesso tramite la pineta sul lato sinistro della baia. In questo caso l'accesso al mare sarà impervio, ma se potete farlo ne varrà la pena.

Mare Mosso
4 Sam W.

This cove is perfect for a few hours of relaxation by the sea. It's a shame that the seabed is filled with stones and rocks, so make sure to bring appropriate footwear! The sea is absolutely stunning and crystal clear. However, it's important to note that there is no sandy beach, only stones and a concrete slide for boats.

Spiaggia Padula Bianca
10 Larissa "Lara" Tully

The water is clean and it's the perfect beach for a morning stroll.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 76 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
