About Ostuni Coast & Beaches
The beautiful Adriatic coastline below Ostuni, a succession of sandy beaches, rocky coves, and crystal-clear water stretching from the fishing village of Villanova to the natural reserve of Torre Guaceto.
The Adriatic coast below Ostuni offers some of the finest beaches in Puglia, a twenty-kilometre stretch of coastline that includes wide sandy beaches, rocky headlands, and the exceptional natural reserve of Torre Guaceto. The coast is reached from Ostuni by a short drive down the escarpment, and the contrast between the white hilltop town and the turquoise sea below is one of the most striking visual experiences in the region. The main beach resorts are at Villanova (the nearest to Ostuni, with a small fishing harbour), Pilone, and Capitolo. Further south, the Torre Guaceto marine reserve protects an area of exceptional ecological value, a coastal lagoon, Mediterranean scrub, and crystal-clear sea that is among the cleanest on the Adriatic coast.
Did you know? Torre Guaceto marine reserve near Ostuni is one of only a handful of protected marine areas on the Adriatic coast where fishing is completely banned, resulting in a spectacular recovery of fish populations and an underwater biodiversity that has made it one of the best snorkelling sites in the Adriatic.
