The beaches of Salento

There are so many beaches in Salento that when you visit you will feel the embarrassment of riches. Long beaches of the finest sand, natural inlets full of shells, beaches with shallow or deep water. Breathtaking cliffs to dive from and protected oases to explore.

The best beach? There’s something for every taste

You can opt for the nearby Campo di Mare, where a well-equipped bathing establishment offers the chance to enjoy the typical Salento beach overlooking the Adriatic Sea, with breathtaking cliffs especially in the early morning hours.

Thanks to its strategic location, Masseria Monache allows you to reach the most beautiful beaches of Salento within a few kilometres, both on the Adriatic and on the Ionian coast.
