The Asce Islands Beach is a fabulous stretch of free beach located in San Foca, a small marina in the municipality of Melendugno on the eastern side of the Salento peninsula, washed by the waters of the Adriatic Sea. This stretch of coastline presents typical characteristics of a naturalistic beach immersed in the green Mediterranean scrub that grows wild in these parts almost everywhere, almost marking the typicality of the surrounding area. The Spiaggia delle Isole Asce (Beach of the Asce Islands) presents some points in which the low cliffs stand out, easily practicable just by equipping yourself with rock shoes; the water is of an impressive clarity and even during the summer heat taking a bath in these beautiful waters is a regenerating cure-all as some freshwater springs present in this place determine an unusual freshness. The place is characterized by its wild and lonely nature and perhaps this aspect distinguishes its beauty and is much appreciated by the many tourists who every summer decide to drop by the Asce Islands Beach to spend a few hours of relaxation and carefree. The sea is shallow at the beginning and is ideal for families with children; for snorkeling enthusiasts, the beautiful seabed lends itself wonderfully to be visited with the beautiful play of light that is created between the various crevices of the reefs. The beach can be accessed directly from the provincial road through a thick area of scrub the only drawback is the parking lot not exactly convenient to find if you are in high season, for the rest good vacations from San Foca.
