The Rotonda Il Chiapparo Beach is a stretch of reef located on the Ionian Sea in Santa Caterina, a hamlet in the municipality of Nardò, a few kilometers from both Porto Cesareo and Gallipoli. This stretch of coastline is actually an unguarded cliff as much of the Santa Caterina area consists mainly of hilly areas and a coastline formed by wide cliffs that descend directly into the sea, only in some stretches are there sandy spots. The Spiaggia della Rotonda develops along a small inlet between rocks and small caves that give directly to the sea, during the summer season this beautiful bay is taken by storm by kids who challenge each other to dive from the different points of the cliff, so you can tanquillamente choose your favorite rock where to lay your towel and take a dip from time to time in this wonderful sea. The cool, transparent water is crystal blue with different hues that change according to the time of day and the seabed is ideal for snorkeling or even for a simple swim, letting yourself be massaged by the beauty of these waters is a real panacea for the body. From this point of the coast also develop several paths for running and trekking lovers among the unspoiled nature, through the typical Mediterranean vegetation with the characteristic aleppo pines a predominant in the territory of Santa Caterina. A little difficult to find parking in the middle of summer for the rest we are not very far from the center so it will not be difficult to find a bar or a supermarket to refresh and refresh. The bay is quite frequented by local families precisely because of its convenience as it is easily accessible from the nearby houses, it is still a respectable place. Worth a visit!
