Isola della Fanciulla Beach is an enchanting and lonely place, a glimpse of Apulia surrounded by the green Mediterranean scrub that colors uninterrupted stretches of dunes of fine white sand, and a transparent sea with different shades of blue and turquoise to complete a postcard landscape. Experiencing this beautiful beach fully repays the soul and spirit, in close contact with unspoiled nature. We are in Torre Pali a small marina in the municipality of Salve, in the province of Lecce, which in summer fills up with tourists and vacationers in search of relaxation and tranquility, and the Spiaggia dell"Isola della Fanciulla represents the most evocative solution for spending a comfortable and well-deserved day at the sea. The little beach owes its name to a somewhat isolated rock where, according to legend, it was the scene of a dramatic denouement due to the story of a young local maiden who was kidnapped and then killed by Saracen pirates because of the maiden"s decision not to renounce her faith; the discovery of the body by a local fisherman on one of these very rocks closes the fairy tale. The beach is interspersed with a few spots where an easily practicable low cliff stands out; the sea, shallow for long stretches, has a sandy seabed mixed with small sea stones, however, rock shoes are recommended for comfort; the rich seabed lends itself wonderfully both to diving activities but also to simple regenerating swims. Have a good summer from Maiden Island Beach.
