Use the map and the following cards to decide whether this spot really suits the kind of visit you want.
Reach it from the coastal road between Torre Mozza and Lido Marini via short approaches to the sea. Use existing paths and do not cut across dunes or vegetation.
If an access point is closed or altered, do not improvise shortcuts: use authorised routes only.
Mostly sand with local rocks and stones; entry is often gradual but not uniform everywhere. Wind, waves and seagrass deposits can change conditions.
Before moving away from shore, identify a safe exit point and do not enter if waves or current exceed your ability.
With small children, choose only spots away from manoeuvring areas and with an easy entry; supervision and sea conditions remain essential.
Before planning the day, consider access, distance from services, crowding and how easy it will be to get back.
No dedicated equipped car park is assumed. In summer arrive early and park only where permitted, never on accesses, dunes or unsafe verges.
Do not leave valuables visible in the car and do not occupy verges, access points or unauthorised spaces.
This is a more natural stretch and direct beach services can be limited. Torre Mozza and Lido Marini offer more options for bars and supplies.
Bring water and a small snack anyway, especially on free or natural stretches.
No specific boardwalk or assisted access has been confirmed exactly at Paduli. For reduced mobility, check equipped access points on the Ugento coast before travelling.
If you have specific mobility needs, check before leaving whether the route is genuinely usable that day.
In rough seas avoid bathing near channel mouths and rocky points. Keep off dune systems and respect any works or barriers connected with the Spunderati basins.
If signs or barriers on site are more restrictive than this guide, the instructions on site always take precedence.
Usually quieter than the central resort beaches, though August can change that completely. Ugento remains a Blue Flag municipality in 2026 and runs seasonal public transport to Torre Mozza.
If actual conditions differ from those described, always follow the instructions on site.

The sandy shoreline of Torre Mozza, with a mix of free stretches and beach clubs in front of the small resort and coastal tower. One of the easier Ugento beaches to reach because the village comes close to the sea. Access varies along the shore: use public paths and boardwalks without crossing private concessions.
Historic coastal tower at Ugento’s marina, also recorded as Torre Fiumicelli/Torre dei Fiumi; the structure still shows the losses and collapses behind the name Torre Mozza. The tower is very close to the village and sea and is easy to view externally. Interior access is not assumed: check for openings or works before approaching the structure.
A free sandy stretch in the first inlet after the canal bridge, south of the tower.
