    I couldn't believe what i was looking at. Crystal clear waters,a picturesque place and nice people. What else? Definitely one of my favourite spots all over Italy

    Cute area but not accesible for everybody, you need to be able to jump of the cliff and then climb up the rock, make sure you wear the proper shoes. Otherwise just take the picture and leave as most of the people do

    Beautiful views, but expect crowds. Also if you don't spend a lot of time in the sun prepare for almost no shade.

    Beautiful rock formations. Great photo opportunity. Visited off season with very few people present.

    Nice place to swim. We didn’t swim there, because we had a lot of bags and the sea was a bit rough, t plenty people were swimming there. I do recommend bringing your swimming shoes as you’ll have to climb up some rocks to get back up.

    This is a beautiful place to snorkel with some great cliffs to jump from if you are brave enough. I wouldn’t say that it is a good place to swim and not great for small children. Getting in and out of the water can be difficult. I personally enjoyed jumping off of the cliffs but a scraped my hands a few times climbing back out.

    Came late in the day with overcast but could see how pretty this place would be. Shallow swimming area around the cliffs and kids were jumping off. Parking was just off-site and relatively inexpensive.

    Nice rock formations along the coast. There are some small caves and also a natural bridge. You can swim in the see, access is directly from the rocks, or from a small beach (quite dirty from the algae). There is a paid parking with plenty of spaces. You can also find a water fountain with drinking water here.

  • 5/5 Jordy B. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Recommend getting here early to get a flat and smooth spot to lay but wow. Would come back every day if I could. Water is so clear and blue and such a beautiful temperature.

  • 5/5 Espen S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place for jumping from cliffs. Not really a place to hang out for a full day.

  • 5/5 Martin B. 8 months ago on Google
    Who has not seen as if he had not been in Apullia. Amazing swimming place with crystal clear water. ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Stuart D. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic, magical place. Complete lack of development. Clean. A rather different experience to some other Italian spots along the close. This area, along with Torre Del’Orso, is beautiful. Unlike other spots in Italy, not overflowing with trash everywhere. Simply beautiful

  • 5/5 Jitske de G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful. Can recommend to see the cliffs and walk around a bit. There is also a food truck that sells paninis, coffee and drinks right next to the parking spot.

  • 5/5 Bartosz K. 3 years ago on Google
    Unique place. Must see in Salento region. It's beautiful all year long.

  • 5/5 Ernur M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great formation of sea and rocks, wonderful scene

  • 5/5 Alex T. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place ! Just must be visited 😉

  • 5/5 Andreas M. 1 year ago on Google
    These amazing sea stacks where the Adriatic has eaten away at the limestone for millennia are well worth a visit. And not just for views and photos. There are steps down to a landing close to sea level where one can jump or dive into the clear water. Most averagely healthy and agile people should have no problem getting back up as long as the sea is not too rough. The landing can get quite crowded, and due to the very rough surface of the limestone, water shoes are recommended although flip flops will do. A must visit near Lecce and Otranto.

    The most beautiful and enjoyable rock beach. Access to the sea is durante but not that easy.

  • 5/5 Suraj N. 1 year ago on Google
    A scenic beauty of Nature. One must visit Torre Sant'Andrea to complete the Puglia Tour. We went there with ebike. From Otranto it took us around 45 min to reach there. Near to this place there is a restaurant which also offers some quality foods
