Cala Porticciolo is a stretch of coastline located in Via Fontanelle in Santa Cesarea Terme in the province of Lecce; we are on the southeastern side of Salento, and this corner of paradise, bathed by the perennial wave motion of the waters of the Adriatic Sea, represents a real gem for lovers of tranquility and privacy who are looking for a place far from the confusion and super-crowded beaches. Cala Porticciolo seems as if lost in time, the special location that binds with the clarity of this beautiful sea ensure the right amount of beauty and relaxation, ready to enjoy in the company of the surrounding landscape of a well-deserved day at the beach. The geometric shapes of the cliffs frame real natural open-air pools, so it will not be difficult to choose a quiet corner, spread your towel and relax in the company of your favorite book. In these parts the sea represents a source of wealth and well-being, and Cala Porticciolo is the main demonstration of this, highlighting that right balance between man and nature that sometimes (but not always) produce effects worthy of merit. This place conveys emotions that cannot be described in a brief description, while experiencing them firsthand is the advice I feel like giving; the water at the beginning maintains a fair depth so it is ideal for families with children, for diving lovers instead there are several stations from which to try your hand at savoring that thrill of diving into these very fresh waters. The seabed lends itself willingly to those who enjoy snorkeling and exploring the characteristic inlets that surround Cala Porticciolo. Access to Cala Porticciolo is provided through a stone staircase that descends between the various crevices of the cliff; at one time this place was perhaps a tufa quarry here is explained the masterful cuts of the various rock walls, today Cala Porticciolo has been fully returned to the sea and to all those who wish to take advantage of it to enjoy the wonders that this area offers for free. Have a good summer from Santa Cesarea Terme.
