Best Beaches

Vieste’s coastline along the Gargano Peninsula features a diverse landscape of limestone cliffs and sea caves. This selection includes secluded gravel coves like Vignanotica and Portogreco, framed by high white walls, alongside expansive sandy stretches such as Scialmarino and Portonuovo. The area offers a mix of wild, unserviced inlets and established beach resorts equipped for water sports, including sites near the famous Architiello rock arch.
