Torre Sant’Andrea
⭐ 9.5
Torre Sant’Andrea, an iconic Salento cove with crystal-clear sea, white rocks, and spectacular sea stacks.
The tower that gives the place its name is one of Melendugno’s five coastal towers, built in the second half of the 16th century. The beach is tiny, squeezed between high, crumbly cliffs: avoid setting up right at the foot of the wall. Torre dell’Orso, with its roughly 800 m sandy beach and its two sea stacks known as “le due sorelle”, is only about 2 km away if you want a change.

À PROPOS DE Torre Sant’Andrea
Torre Sant’Andrea is one of the best-known spots on the Salento Adriatic coast. People come here for its small cove, crystal-clear water, pale cliffs, and sea stacks. The place is still stunning and very popular, even though the iconic arch known as the “Arco dell’Amore” collapsed in February 2026 after severe weather. Update: the sea-stack arch collapsed during a storm on the night of 14 February 2026.
The tower that gives the place its name is one of Melendugno’s five coastal towers, built in the second half of the 16th century. The beach is tiny, squeezed between high, crumbly cliffs: avoid setting up right at the foot of the wall. Torre dell’Orso, with its roughly 800 m sandy beach and its two sea stacks known as “le due sorelle”, is only about 2 km away if you want a change.
