Porto Grande Beach is located in Baia delle Orte a beautiful location on the outskirts of Otranto, south of Punta Facì and is a place of rare beauty not very well known and isolated compared to other Salento beaches that are usually overcrowded in high season. Certainly contrary to the name here there is no beach, rather, low cliffs characterize much of the surrounding area drawing a landscape of rare beauty engulfed in unspoiled nature. The sea of Porto Grande Beach represents the real wonder, the undisputed protagonist of this stretch of coastline the crystal clear blue waters of the Adriatic offer interesting insights through the rich seabed that are ideal for those who love snorkeling and going to discover the beautiful play of light between the most striking views of this wide reef. The Porto Grande Beach can be reached by driving along a dirt road for about fifteen minutes; it is possible to park your car in the designated area with a parking fee of 3 euros for the whole day so that after a relaxing walk through characteristic paths surrounded by the green of the Mediterranean scrub here is that this contagious blue of a splendid sea opens to our eyes. This place has maintained its charm over time (as has the whole area of Baia delle Orte) thanks to the fact that it is little known and practicable, here one immediately feels that sense of detachment from everyday reality as we are usually accustomed to experiencing it, the wild aspect of this area is what most of all attracts the solitary traveler when he decides to visit this remote place. So to sum up, forget about Porto Grande Beach if you are used to comfort and prefer the soft, soft golden sand, here you only need rock shoes, mask and fins and a cooler bag full of cold drinks to mitigate the summer heat...have a good summer from the Bay of Orte.
