On a relaxing stroll, walking along the coast of Marina di Mancaversa while the sea gently kisses our feet with a continuous and perpetual wave motion so pleasing to the senses here we come across the Beach of the Sea of Horses. This tongue of sand in the past was used by the locals to bring their horses so that they could be washed properly, an ancient custom that years later has left its marks, in fact you can still see on the ground the now established traces left by the wheels of the carts. The Beach of the Sea of Horses has its own special charm beyond its name and its history; although modest in size, this small beach has soft, white sand that alternates in several places with stretches of cliffs that are all in all shallow. The sea is shallow for long stretches; many families with children and locals reach this stretch of beach during daylight hours to plant their umbrella and enjoy a quiet day at the beach. There are few services on the beach so I do not recommend the place to those who are instead looking for the amenities of a well-equipped and comfortable lido; if you decide to visit Mare dei Cavalli Beach, therefore, bring a cooler bag full of drinks, your rock shoes and mask and flippers to go exploring these wonderful seabeds that lend themselves so well to those who love snorkeling. The beach is located adjacent to the coast road and is a short distance from the town so it will not be difficult, if need be, to locate a bar or supermarket for any need. This is the beauty and richness of this land, this is Salento, have a good summer.
