Punta Prosciutto - Porto Cesareo

Punta Prosciutto is one of the most evocative and unspoilt marinas in Salento, located in the north-western part of the peninsula, between the towns of Torre Lapillo, Porto Cesareo and Torre Colimena, in the municipality of Manduria. It overlooks the Ionian Sea, offering breathtaking views and a crystal-clear sea that attracts many tourists every year. The beach of Punta Prosciutto is famous for its fine, golden sand that stretches for several kilometres, creating an expanse of great natural beauty. The area is characterised by Mediterranean vegetation typical of the Salento region, including Mediterranean scrub, junipers and native plants that create an atmosphere of serenity and tranquillity. The coast, partially protected by high, natural dunes, preserves a wild landscape that has not been subjected to invasive interventions. The dunes, which wind along the beach, create spectacular scenery, especially at sunset, when the sky is tinged with warm colours and the sea reflects the light in a play of shades. The Punta Prosciutto marina is an ideal destination for those seeking a quiet place to enjoy the beauty of nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded tourist resorts. The area is also perfect for walks along the coast, thanks to its wild nature little changed by man. The sea, with its shallow and sandy seabed, is perfect for families and for those who love swimming in calm, transparent waters. Moreover, the proximity to Porto Cesareo, famous for its historical centre and its marvellous islands, and the presence of the nearby Torre Lapillo and Torre Colimena, further enrich the tourist offer of this marina, which represents a corner of paradise in the heart of Salento.

Salento, Punta Prosciutto - Porto Cesareo: The public beach at Punta Prosciutto is a succession of colours, high dunes and many positive feelings. The public beach covers so much of the bay that the equipped lidos seem like little meteors scattered here and there. Walking the length of the beach can be quite tiring but it is worth it.

Until about twenty years ago, this area was practically deserted and little known, appreciated only by locals. With the advent of the internet and global tourism, this stretch of coastline has exploded with a growing tourist demand, making Punta Prosciutto one of the most sought-after destinations in Salento.
