Spiaggia Torre Mozza, Coastal beach in Puglia, Italy
Spiaggia Torre Mozza is a sandy beach on the Adriatic coast in Puglia with a stone tower rising near the waterline. The seabed slopes gently into the sea, making it accessible for swimmers of all levels.
The tower was built in the 16th century as a defense structure against sea-based attacks and remains a landmark of that era. The name Torre Mozza refers to this military function that shaped the location for centuries.
Local fishermen maintain long-standing traditions by selling fresh catches directly from their boats to beachgoers and nearby restaurants each morning.
The beach has both free public areas and paid sections with sun loungers and umbrellas available. Food and restroom facilities are accessible at nearby beach bars.
Below the water surface lies a reef system running parallel to the shore that creates natural swimming pools and rocky formations. Some structures appear to be remnants from an ancient Roman road, discoverable while snorkeling.
