Baia di Ciardo Beach

A stony beach on a little bay with cobalt water and few crowds, the beach is backed by scrub brush and enjoys a natural setting. It is at Marina di Felloniche, south of Marina San Gregorio in Puglia's Salento. It is just a few miles from Santa Maria di Leuca, at the lower tip of the heel, on the Ionian Sea. Access is off the SP 214 road, down a side street (follow the sign pointing to Mare Mosso restaurant). The rocks and deeper water make it suitable for those who like to swim, but not so much for small children.
