Melendugno is an agricultural town in the Lecce hinterland, but above all it’s the municipality of four of Salento’s most famous seaside resorts: San Foca, Roca Vecchia, Torre dell’Orso and Torre Sant’Andrea. Along just a few kilometers of coastline, you go from the natural pool of the Grotta della Poesia to the wide white beach of Torre dell’Orso and the sea stacks of Sant’Andrea. Several of the municipality’s beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag 2026.
