Exploring Marina di Pulsano

A varied coast where small rocky points separate sandy inlets and viewpoints over the Gulf of Taranto.

A coastline shaped by bays

Following the coastal road, you encounter Luogovivo, La Fontana, Le Canne, Montedarena, Ospedale Capparone, Pezza Rossa and Serrone before reaching the broad bay of Lido Silvana. These names identify neighbouring stretches that differ in beach width, rocks and access.

Lido Silvana and Torre Castelluccia

Lido Silvana is one of the widest beaches on the Pulsano coast. Rocky headlands enclose the bay, while dunes and Mediterranean vegetation survive behind the shore. On the eastern side, Torre Castelluccia and the area’s archaeological remains add a historical dimension to the seascape.

Choosing the right bay

Each inlet has different access and space. Before settling in, check the route from the road, any steps or walkways, the distance from parking and sea conditions. During the busiest periods, arriving early is advisable.
