💡 Tips
- The sandy beaches stretch for kilometers, making them well-suited for long morning walks before the sun gets too hot.
- Parking near the main lidos can fill up quickly in July and August; arrive by 9 AM or use the paid parking areas under the pines.
- Many beach clubs (lidos) require reservations for sunbeds during peak season, so book a day in advance.
- Take a walk through the fragrant pine forest right behind the beach for natural shade during midday.
🍽 Food
Try this classic Apulian pasta dish featuring ear-shaped pasta and turnip tops at local trattorias.
Look for seaside restaurants serving freshly caught fish or fritto misto (fried mixed seafood).
Grab a slice of oven-warm focaccia topped with cherry tomatoes from a bakery (panificio) for the first-rate beach snack.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Pick up a bottle of local Primitivo or Negroamaro wine from the local wine shops (enotecas).
Look for artisanal Apulian ceramics, often sold in small shops near the coastal towns.
Escape the beach crowds and relax in the extensive, shady pine forest surrounding the town.
