Soft white sand and crystal-clear water backed by vibrant pinewoods, makes this beach area look like the Caribbean. You walk a short path through the pines to reach the beach, where you'll find plenty of open space, along with several "lidos" that rent umbrellas and chairs, offer services along with bars and restaurants. The Padula Bianca zone north of Gallipoli exudes a more natural feel, but without giving up comfort and services. Some of the lidos are handicapped accessible. You'll have a variety to choose from; with colorful umbrellas, or with palm-frond umbrellas. Either way, this beach is ideal for a full day of sea and sun, staying right until sunset so you can toast it with a glass of prosecco!
