A broad sandy stretch on Ugento’s Ionian coast between Torre Mozza and Torre Pali, at the southern edge of the Regional Coastal Park.
The old page claimed about 4 km of beach, but we found no institutional source confirming that figure for Lido Marini beach alone. The updated guide avoids a fixed length and focuses on verified features: sand, dunes, resort services and parking areas.
OpenStreetMap maps a natural beach at 39.85050, 18.17722.
Mostly sandy, with local changes towards Punta Macolone and Torre Pali.
