Very nice sand beach, be careful to the rocks! Marvellous sea. Recommended!

A beautiful small cove! The Lido: One star. 6 parking, reduced to 3 if you come late. The Lido is overpriced though, so we went to the free part. We came late and asked if there was a reduced rate for two chairs and they said 20 instead of 24, what a joke! The beach: 5 stars! Crystal clear water and mostly sandy. Unfortunately like most Italian beaches an overpriced Lido limits the access and robs the best part of the beach as far as easy access into the water goes. Just to the right of the lido is the free part.. you just have to walk over a sandy path and down to access it. Then to get in the water you have to carefully walk over rock formations, which is fine, but unfortunately we couldn’t bring our baby in that way and the lido of course has the sandy part. (Bring aqua socks or sandals that can get wet.)You could also climb back over and cross their rope to access the water since it’s illegal to actually limit access to the water itself. The usual Italian beach. I wish the government would require half of the accessible parts to be free, so families, elderly and the disabled could easily enjoy the beach too!! But that’s another story :)
This place is magical! One of my top places in Puglia. The lido is very expensive (50%avg). But the free beach right next to it is gorgeous.
First time I was there last summer and was impressed by the clear water. A treasure of South Italy which should remain preserved. If you visit around please respect nature and lovely Italian people.
The location is very beautiful: crystal clear emerald water, the shore is a combination of rocks and sand and the bottom is mostly white sand. Good for families with kids. But Lido was a disappointment: it is managed as a money making machine where a passion to the field of business and respect to customers are missing. The cost of 1 umbrella 2 sun beds in mid season is 24 euros, plus 3 euros for motorbike parking. Which I can understand in relation to a unique location. What I cannot understand are: 1) Bad price/quality for food in the bar: 7 for a turnkey sandwich with Swiss cheese, 1,5 for a small bottle of water and 1,5 for an espresso. 2) Bad management and planning for food: by 13:00 half of the sandwiches in the menu finished already. 3) No toilet paper in the bathroom. 4) A lot of sunbeds, but not big enough bar and amount of bathrooms (1 male, 1 female, 1 unisex) for that many people. To sum it up: I recommend the location, but not the Lido. I suggest to pack your own umbrella and go to the public beach just next to it.
