Spiaggia di Posto Vecchio

Spiaggia di Posto Vecchio is a sandy stretch along the Ionian coast between Torre Vado and Pescoluse with shallow waters and open beach areas. The sand extends along the waterfront with both shaded and sun-exposed sections for visitors to choose from.

Tourism at this location started when establishments like Lido Venere opened and brought recreational activities to the Salento coast. These early ventures marked how coastal towns in the region began welcoming visitors from beyond their area.

Visitors gather at waterfront restaurants here that serve regional dishes prepared with vegetables and seafood from local producers. The dining spots reflect how people in this area have long connected food, farming, and coastal life together.

You can reach the beach easily from the waterfront promenade through several access points scattered along the coast. Some sections have services and rental equipment available, while other areas remain free and unstructured for those who prefer simplicity.

Sand dunes covered with local plant life form a natural barrier running along the shoreline here. These dunes serve an important role in protecting the beach from erosion and maintaining the health of the coastal environment.
