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. Once we get to the small pier where the various boats dock we get off and through the pine forest we continue to the left for a few dozen meters. 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. Rabbit Island is a paradise on earth take care of it if you come to visit, bring back your garbage bags...nature will thank you.

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 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.

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.
