Otranto Beaches

Otranto is a charming coastal town located in the region of Puglia in Italy. Known for its beautiful beaches and rich history, it is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Spiaggia dei Gradoni is a well-known beach in the center of Otranto, characterized by its fine sandy shores and a sea that varies in shades of azure to blue. The beach is recognized for its unique natural features, including large steps where visitors can set up their towels for a day of relaxation. Spiaggia Alimini, situated a few kilometers away from the city, is named after the neighboring Alimini lakes and is characterized by its almost white fine sand.

Porto Badisco Beach is unique for its beautiful water and rocky terrain, making it a great spot for swimming and even rock jumping. Torre Sant'Andrea is known for its unique rock formations along the coast, including small caves and a natural bridge. Porto Miggiano Beach, a hidden gem in Puglia, is known for its clear, light blue water and a unique combination of sandy and rocky terrain.
