Definitely a beautiful beach
Of course it is very difficult to enjoy it on August 14th.
Filled with pounding space on the sand and even in the water.
Sore point the price of parking that even if you arrive in the afternoon only for 3 hours you have to pay full price, not like in Spain or Greece, which from 14 you pay reduced price.sin

€6 to pay for parking for the day but worth it. We opted for the free beach area between two paying lido options (with bar restaurants). Busy but not overly so. Fantastic clear and shallow water. Very clean sand. Always a breeze so doesn’t get ridiculously hot. Strongly recommend.

Caribbean beaches, not for nothing in the area defined as "the Maldives of Salento".
Wide beaches with very white sand, mostly of madreporic origin and not rock, which is why it doesn't burn even in the July sun.
The white sand of the shallow seabed creates wonderful light and color effects among the best in Puglia and the whole of Italy.
Shallow seabed and suitable for bathing even for children, in the area in front of the marina there are also several natural rocks a short distance from the coast which protect from the waves.
One of the most beautiful beaches I have visited.

This sandy beach is a jewel Maldives Italian version and much less crowded than other beaches already visited in the area. Regarding the private beaches I strongly advise against “Lido Sabbioso” which I will call pigeon catching par excellence. Privilege "Valeria Lido" a few steps on the left of it. Much cheaper! As for the restoration the best is to plan a snack with you and enjoy this crystal clear water as far as the eye can see 😍

Beautiful sea, parking close to the white beach for 4 euros per day (with car in the shade of the trees). If you bring an umbrella (10/15 euros) and go to the free beach bringing with you the delicious Apulian focaccia you will avoid further and unnecessary expenses.
Those who would like the convenience of an umbrella instead
with sunbeds and service at the bar of the bathing establishment, don't complain about the excessive costs and don't write alarmist reviews: you pay for the comforts and you are not obliged to use them!!

Beautiful beach of fine sand, with excellent organization of umbrellas. Very large area. it is really worth taking a bath here. Prices of the right umbrellas for the place and the period, but too high the prices of the restaurant with just acceptable quality (drops the rating from 5 to 4 ...).

It is certainly among the beaches I love most in Salento. From the white color of the sand, to the crystal clear water of the sea and ending with the dunes. Free and equipped beaches and lido. Every year a visit is a must! This year we were there in July, which we much preferred, unlike the previous five years (August). The road that reaches the sandy beaches... alas, is quite torn up. But...it's absolutely worth it!

We stopped near the sandy beach thinking of stopping then at the free beach. Chatting with the valet (the gentleman who directs you where to park), he advised us to stop at Victoria Lido because it does not cost much.
We thank the gentleman for his tip. At Victoria Lido we paid less than other establishments (about 25€ in July), at the reception they were very very kind. In short, nice clean sea, white beach, not too crowded and at a modest price we also enjoyed the comfort of sunbeds. We are in the second row and the breeze is felt and is pleasant.
There are also pedal boats to rent but we did not ask.

The beach is a little wilder than Baia Verde despite the unmissable presence in Italy of private beaches. However some open spaces relatively clean compared to baia Verde. The sea was rough but very clean with beautiful colors. The nearest private parking managed by LIDO MALIBU is 5 euros .

Beach with fine sand, free alternating with equipped beaches. It is accessed through a very large paid parking, 5€ all day, and wooden walkway.
The only flaw no showers and fountain. 4-legged friends accepted only if on shore. Bathroom possible x them until 9 am and from 7 pm onwards.

Sapete se c'è qualche spiaggia libera con doccia gratis? Grazie
Written 9 July 2020
ciao non penso proprio, calcola che nello spiaggione di torre san giovanni solo un 20% é di spiaggia attrezzata, il resto (x fortuna) é liberissima.
ti consiglio il vecchio metodo della bottiglia riempita a casa di acqua dolce...sono anni che faccio cosí

Salve, vorrei sapere con precisione il punto della spiaggia libera delle foto che avete messo su questo sito (dove si vede una spiaggia molto grande e tutta sabbia) poichè su google maps trovo solo scogliere o spiagge piccoline. Grazie
Written 20 August 2019
Ciao, devi andare al di là del porto dove ci sono tutte quelle barchette, da lì in poi inizia tutta la costa di sabbia, si alternano lidi privati a pezzi di spiaggia libera.

La parte della spiaggia libera è molto ampia ? Ci si può accampare la sera ?

Non nelle vicinanze della spiaggia. A meno che non abbiate un camper. Strade molto strette e poca acqua nei dintorni.
