So ... let"s take this short virtual tour also because I don"t seem to have seen the Google machine on the island lately for a quick mapping.

The first beach we encounter is just a few meters long, the sand is soft and the water shallow for several meters. The island has this name because years ago there was a large group of rabbits there after years of absence someone decided to repopulate the island by introducing a few pairs of these cute animals so it will not be difficult to spot some. Continuing always from the left side after the small beach here is that the open sea with a low cliff opens to our view... be careful of the waves if you decide to dive, the sea soon becomes deep. After this stretch of reef we find an inlet with a beach a little longer than the previous one quite frequented by tourists in the middle of summer, the sand is soft, maybe a few small stones as well as the water at first shallow becomes deep after a few strokes with a seabed all to visit. Returning back through the central pine forest you will not fail to encounter a small pool of water... attention for the more curious, looking in the sand for some clams you may perhaps come across strange types of green crabs a tad aggressive.

Spiaggia libera delle Dune

Salento, Porto Cesareo: The Dune Free Beach is that stretch of beach located between the two bathing establishments of Le Dune and Tabú in Porto Cesareo in the province of Lecce. This stretch of free beach evokes many memories when, as kids, we used to come on mopeds and then, after parking our two wheels in some corner, we used to climb up these beautiful dunes and running down we used to compete to see who could reach the sea first; memories aside, years later this place has maintained all its beauty and charm thanks mainly to the high sand dunes that have been almost swallowed up by the typical Mediterranean scrub. The Free Beach of the Dunes has a peculiarity that makes it unique from the other beaches of Porto Cesareo in that its width so wide is reminiscent in a certain way of the beaches of Valencia or Barcelona. The beach is beautiful, worth visiting, the sand is soft and deep, and the sea, especially on days when the north wind is blowing, maintains that freshness and transparency that make this part of Salento unique in its kind. The Spiaggia libera delle Dune in the summer is as crowded as ever precisely because it is not very far from the nearby town and during the week it is also easy to find a parking space for your car; for those who do not like to spend a lot of money at a bathing establishment, this is the most popular beach and it is very convenient precisely because on the right there is the Lido Tabú and on the left the Le Dune establishment, easily accessible for a drink or even to listen to some music in the company of beautiful people. The undisputed queens of this stretch of coast are precisely the high sand dunes; in the past they were often targeted by human neglect as people camped there with tents and umbrellas of various kinds and then left remnants of garbage just about everywhere; today with an ordinance of the Municipality of Porto Cesareo the dunes are partly protected, as they should be, from any kind of human activity. It is fine here and you definitely have to be lucky to find the right period since in the middle of summer this stretch of coast is completely taken by storm by that mass tourism that you never get used to. Perhaps June or mid-September represent the best time if you don"t like confusion to visit this wonderful sea with a picture postcard beach; just bring your beach towel and some change for a cool drink, for the rest enjoy the sun, that soft wind that pleasantly caresses our body and those beautiful vacation feelings that only the Free Beach of the Dunes can transmit...have a good summer from Porto Cesareo.

We are in Porto Cesareo, on the western side of Salento along a stretch of coast washed by the Ionian Sea and characterized by expanses of soft white sand alternating with high sand dunes engulfed by the green Mediterranean scrub; the sea has colors that change according to the different hours of the day and range from turquoise to deep blue to emerald, iridescent therefore according to the different types of the seabed and the reflections of a sun that beats down hard in the middle of summer. The Scoglio della Malva (Mallow Rock), the smaller brother of the nearby islet also called della Malva (Mallow Rock), represents the first point of arrival for many tourists who swim from the nearby Tabú Lido and decide to reach it to dive and enjoy the unique pleasure of resting on a strip of land surrounded by unspoiled nature.

The whole surrounding environment represents at first glance the classic deserted island lost in an azure sea, with unspoiled nature, white sandy seabed and the ever-present herring gull as the undisputed owner of this picturesque island. If you ever have to drop in, well, the motor boats pass at the right distance from Malva Island, the sea for some stretches turns out to be shallow and the seabed lends itself wonderfully to those who love snorkeling so as to go in search of the exciting play of light reflected in this beautiful sea. The stretch of coastline in question is quite busy at the height of summer, we are talking about one of the most populated places in the Salento summer with a massive concentration of lidos, accommodation facilities, docks and boats of all kinds; so the beauty of this splendid example of an islet is fine but on the deserted and lonely aspect I would go a tad cautious.

La Strea

Salento, Porto Cesareo: For lovers of trekking from Torre Squillace it is easy to walk to the peninsula of La Strea a strip of land characterized by rich Mediterranean scrub vegetation, part of the Regional Oriented Nature Reserve also called Palude del Conte.

The Strea is a beautiful experience both for its unspoiled nature and for a habitat that contains different species of birds of rare beauty and sees the proliferation of fauna thanks precisely to the low accessibility of the place and the maintenance of certain environmental balances; an amazing peace and tranquility reigns here. Walking some stretches of these suggestive paths among the rushes, the dry stone walls and a long wooden fence to delimit the various areas you will be surprised by how the only human presences are represented by traces of mountain bike wheels or horse dung that have marked their passage; for the rest only a few small green lizards will cross your path ignoring you completely. In the past, human neglect meant that on the Strea was also accessed by cars thus defacing much of this earthly paradise; today this area has been fully recovered and returned to nature.
