The pedestrian coastal promenade linking La Botte with Grotta Verde along Marina di Andrano’s Adriatic rocky shoreline.
The municipality clearly confirms the key fact instead: it is an entirely pedestrian promenade connecting Botte and Grotta Verde. We avoid an unverified fixed length and permanent-service promises.
The municipality describes it as a pedestrian link between Botte and Grotta Verde.
An easier way to enjoy the coast without walking directly over rocks.
It follows the urban coast and connects several bathing access points.
39.96835, 18.40620 is a central orientation point, not a single destination.
The historic guide said about 2 km, but the current municipal page does not give that length.
We describe the verified connection rather than repeat an uncertain figure.
Municipal history records work from the late 1980s, later paving and lighting, and Piazzetta delle Agavi in 2002.
It is part of the identity of the resort.
The municipal page documents benches and meeting spaces.
Seasonal bars, kiosks and events may change and are not guaranteed throughout.
Several bathing points can be reached from the promenade, but the coast remains mostly rocky.
Useful only if you descend to the shore.
The promenade itself is easier than the rocks; bathing suitability depends on the exact access.
Botte has shallower sectors; Fiume and Grotta Verde suit stronger swimmers better.
The paved urban route is easier than natural trails, but slopes, maintenance and interruptions can affect use.
Full wheelchair accessibility is not guaranteed without current checking.
In January 2026 the municipality temporarily closed the promenade during a weather alert, especially around Grotta Verde and Botte-Porto.
Check alerts and obey closures in rough weather.
Comfortable shoes, water, hat and sunscreen; water shoes only if going down to the sea.
Early morning and late afternoon are pleasant for walking.

An emerald-green sea cave on the rocky coast of Marina di Andrano. The car park is close, but reaching the most striking inner section involves rock, water, confident swimming and suitable sea conditions.
One of Marina della Torre’s main bathing points in Marina di Andrano, named Il Fiume because a freshwater spring reaches the sea here.
A small cave in the La Botte area of Marina di Andrano on Salento’s Adriatic coast, marked by a freshwater spring reaching the sea.
La Botte is not a sandy beach: it is a rocky Marina di Andrano sea-access area with small coves and water that becomes deeper fairly quickly. It is also important for accessibility through the Swim Liberi di Nuotare experience, whose current seasonal operation should be checked.
A small harbour tucked into Marina di Andrano's rocky coast, used by fishing and leisure craft. It is a characterful place to see, but it must be distinguished from nearby Spiaggia della Botte and from areas actually intended for bathing.
The restored base of a large circular coastal watchtower in Marina di Andrano, documented in use by 1569 and once linked visually with Torre del Sasso and Torre Capo Lupo.
