Best Beaches in Apulia

Apulia’s coastline stretches across the Adriatic and Ionian seas, offering diverse geological formations from the dramatic limestone cliffs of Polignano a Mare to the flat, sandy expanses of Salento. Many sites, like Baia dei Turchi and Porto Badisco, carry historical significance dating back to Ottoman sieges and Roman mythology. This selection includes protected natural reserves within the Gargano National Park, fully equipped beach clubs with modern amenities, and secluded gravel coves accessible only by boat or steep coastal paths.
