Punta Pizzo
⭐ 9
Dunes, rocks, and scrubland in the Sant'Andrea Island regional park, between Gallipoli and Mancaversa.
The beach is part of the Sant’Andrea Island regional natural park and the Punta Pizzo coastline. The scrubland mixes myrtle, strawberry tree, rosemary, and several orchid species, while wetland areas host migratory birds. Offshore, the island shelters a colony of Audouin’s gulls: anchoring, landing, or swimming within 100 m is prohibited. On the shore, a 16th-century watchtower, built as a defense against pirates, overlooks a masseria. Outside the lido, services are scarce: bring water, a hat, and water shoes.

À PROPOS DE Punta Pizzo
Punta Pizzo is a roughly two-kilometre stretch of coastline, halfway between Gallipoli and Marina di Mancaversa. The shore is low, with dunes, rocky slabs, and Mediterranean scrub. The sea is crystal-clear. Part of the beach is developed, with Lido Pizzo; the rest is free access. If you’re looking for a wilder spot than the beaches in Gallipoli town, it’s a great choice.
