About Northern Beaches & Rocky Coves
The succession of secluded rocky coves, small sandy beaches, and sea caves stretching north of Polignano along the Adriatic coast, some accessible by road, others only by sea.
The coastline north of Polignano a Mare offers an excellent alternative to the crowded Cala Porto beach, a series of small coves and rocky inlets where the limestone cliffs meet the Adriatic, some with sandy beaches, some with rocky platforms, and all with the clear water quality that characterises this section of the Adriatic coast. The most accessible of these are the beaches at San Vito and Cala Fetente, small beaches at the base of the limestone cliffs, reached by short footpaths from the road, with the characteristic combination of white cliffs, clear water, and relative solitude outside the peak summer season.
Did you know? The limestone coast north of Polignano a Mare is part of the geological zone known as the Murgia coast, an ancient limestone plateau that was formed in the Cretaceous period (66-145 million years ago) and has been sculpted by the sea over the past few million years.
