Matinelle Beach, Public beach in Trani, Italy.
Matinelle Beach is a public strand along the Adriatic coast featuring light sand mixed with pebbles and small stones. Stone breakwaters line the shore to protect it from waves and shape the beach's structure.
The strand developed naturally as Trani grew as a port city and gradually became a recreation spot for residents. Infrastructure was added over time to accommodate visitors and make the shoreline more accessible.
The beach is where local families gather on summer evenings to spend time together and enjoy each other's company. People here follow simple seaside routines, bringing food and staying into the night when the air cools down.
The beach is easy to reach on foot from the city center with a short walk. During summer months you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds directly on the sand.
At low tide, natural pools form between the sand and stones where shallow water collects. The limestone rocks nearby cast pink and white reflections into the water, creating a soft glow at certain times of day.
