This central beach is also known as Spiaggia dei Gradoni: fine sand, free and serviced sections, with immediate access from the promenade. Inclusive Beach is seasonal and depends on annual implementation of the agreement; the 2025–2027 project is not a guarantee of identical daily hours or equipment.
Walk from the centre; large stone steps connect the promenade with the sand.
If an access point is closed or altered, do not improvise shortcuts: use authorised routes only.
The sandy urban section generally shelves gently, but always check current depth and sea state.
Before moving away from shore, identify a safe exit point and do not enter if waves or current exceed your ability.
Suitable for families in the easier section, with constant supervision.
Before planning the day, consider access, distance from services, crowding and how easy it will be to get back.
Town parking can be difficult in peak season; use legal car parks and continue on foot.
Do not leave valuables visible in the car and do not occupy verges, access points or unauthorised spaces.
Free sections and beach/town services are nearby; availability and prices can change.
Bring water and a small snack anyway, especially on free or natural stretches.
For 2025–2027 the municipality planned Otranto Inclusive Beach at the Gradoni, with access paths, JOB chairs and seasonal assistance; confirm the current service before travelling.
If you have specific mobility needs, check before leaving whether the route is genuinely usable that day.

First check access, signs and sea conditions.
Bring suitable walking shoes, water, a hat and sunscreen; use water shoes only where bathing is actually permitted.
