Come find the best beach in Puglia, Italy . This inside guide to Apulia shows you the most gorgeous, perfect turquoise water beaches from Polignano a Mare south.

UNICEF awarded 2022 Blue Flags to all the prettiest beaches in this Puglia travel guide video. A blue flag means that the water, shore and facilities are clean and environmentally friendly and offer public access. You can learn more about the nicest beaches of Blue Flag here. www.blueflag.g... Gobs of blue flag beaches lie along the turquoise coast of Apulia and the Bari coast.
The best, most epic beaches to visit in Puglia Italy featured in this Puglia travel guide video in order of appearance:
Polignano a Mare. Lama Monachile and San Vito. Most dramatic setting beaches.
Monopoli. Cala Porta Vecchia, Cala Cozze, Porto Bianco, Porto Porto Rosso, and Cala Paradiso. Some of the prettiest beaches in Italy. Rock diving. Stand in the deep water on a sand bar.
Capitolo. We liked the water in front of Bambu Club. Longest stretch of golden sand beaches.
Near Ostuni. Pilone and Lido Morelli, Torre Guaceto, a nature preserve with a turtle rescue center, Torre Pozzelle. Most natural beach and least crowded beach!
Santo Stefano Castle. Porto Ghiacciolo. Lido Santo Stefano. Most beautiful, cleanest, soft white sand. Best of all! Our favorite beach in Italy so far.
Puglia travel guide tip! How to unlock Puglia’s best kept secret? Here’s the trick to public access to the shallow end of the bay at Lido Santo Stefano. Turn off the main road and come through the stone pillars toward the castle. Where the road is roped off to the castle, turn right, pass the parking lot entrance to the private club, 50 meters later park outside the campground.
At the metal barrier through the pedestrian turnstile to the left just before the campground entrance. Here’s a video that shows more of the turnstile than we captured. • Lido Santo Stefano Spi...
After the turnstile the dirt road takes you to the peninsula. Follow the footpath along the bay and the cliff toward the beach club to the boat ramp where you can set up your towels. We don’t recommend the slippery rocks, though we did see plenty of other people going in the water. Get there early for a spot.
We hope you enjoyed this inside guide to the best Puglia beaches and swimming holes and now you know the best beaches in Puglia: Southern Italy’s most beautiful beaches!

@@happygoluckytravel Anassa beach is The place 😃 Not cheap, but amazing. The usual tourist accomodations can be found in and around Paphos. Paphos goes a lot cheaper. Then if you’re looking for unusual stuff, you can cross into Northern Cyprus, which is an unrecognized state 😄

The other side (the Ionian) has kilometres of sandy beaches...the best of the region are definitely in the provinces of Taranto and Lecce...Monopoli is nice, but best for a stroll in the historic centre than for a beach day

May I ask you where you stayed during this trip? I’m looking for a nice hotel or B&b?

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching! We stayed in the countryside between Conversano and Polignano. www.lecasedimimi.it/it/case-vacanza/villa-torre-san-martino-011.html Working farms with dogs and farm equipment surround this neighborhood if you're noise sensitive. And a car is necessary. Enjoy your trip!

How much does the entrance to Stefano beach cost?

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching! Prices change every year and vary by month, half-day/full-day, parking included/not included, and location on the beach. Best to call and find out their most current prices. lidosantostefanomonopoli.it In June 2022, full day, front of beach was around 100 euros for 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella.

Where are the sandy beaches because the rocks are a paine

[@happygoluckytravel]

We like sandy beaches, too. There are eight sandy beaches in this video, which features the Puglia coastline between Polignano and Brindisi. There are also many sandy beaches in the Solento region of Puglia, a couple nice ones are in our Otranto video. Enjoy your time at the beach!

Next time... next time! Should have gotten after the club, as they are required by Italian law to have a sign indicating access to the shoreline and water for non club members, though very common to not post or say the sign is down for cleaning 🤣

Good tip! See you there next time! "Where is the public access?" was like the magic words at Cala Paradiso in Monopoli, sweeping arms, practically a red carpet to the beach!

best beaches in Puglia are in the Lecce region more south, you have touched Puglia only around 15% and you're naming your video "guide" ... shame

these in the video are probably the worst beaches in Puglia. In fact, the best ones are nowhere near Bari. They are the southwest coast of Apulia, in the provinces of Taranto and Lecce. The whole ionian coast is stunning, caribbean like sandy beaches.
