Punta Pizzo
Located on the coast road that leads from Gallipoli to Santa Maria di Leuca, just before Marina di Mancaversa we find Punta Pizzo, the southernmost tip of the Gulf of Gallipoli, which is a marvellous stretch of coastline made up of wide cliffs, golden beaches and a blue sea full of transparent reflections that change colour according to the different times of day. This corner of paradise is located in the heart of the Regional Natural Park Isola di Sant"Andrea - Litorale di Punta Pizzo and encompasses all the characteristic beauties of this beautiful land called Salento. The surrounding nature invites us for a relaxing walk through the green pine forest mixed with the thick and wild Mediterranean scrub, among nature trails full of charm and rich in wild plants all to be discovered; those who prefer the sea will be surprised by the freshness of these waters, take the opportunity to snorkel through these beautiful seabeds rich in fish or simply for a regenerating swim for the body and spirit. Over time, this area has maintained that typical trait of a lonely and wild place that still fascinates and impresses those who come here for the first time. The naturalness and unspoilt charm of Punta Pizzo are the undisputed destination of hundreds of tourists who every summer decide to spend a day at the beach in one of the most beautiful areas of Salento. In front of the characteristic pine forest you will find ample parking for your car. From here, all you have to do is proceed on foot, spoilt for choice between the green nature, the soft beaches or the stretches of cliffs, to discover a crystal-clear sea... happy holidays in Punta Pizzo.
