Porto Contessa, Sand beach in Bari, Italy
Porto Contessa extends along the Adriatic coast with fine white sand and clear blue waters reaching shallow depths near the shore.
The beach has maintained its natural state through centuries, forming part of the traditional Mediterranean coastal landscape of Puglia since ancient times.
Local fishermen continue their generations-old practice of launching small boats from Porto Contessa to catch fresh fish for nearby restaurants.
The beach provides free access throughout the year, with lifeguard services and equipment rentals available during summer months from June to September.
The geological formation of the coastline creates natural wind barriers, making Porto Contessa particularly suitable for swimming even during windy days.
