Cala San Giovanni, Mediterranean beach in Polignano a Mare, Italy
Cala San Giovanni is a beach in Polignano a Mare with a sandy shoreline stretching along a natural inlet framed by limestone cliffs and Mediterranean pine trees. The waters are clear and shallow near the shore, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
The beach took shape through natural geological processes that carved limestone formations and sea caves over centuries. These features continue to define the character of this coastal area today.
This beach is a gathering place where people experience the rhythm of coastal Apulian life, with the sound of waves and the presence of local seafood restaurants shaping the daily scene.
The beach has changing facilities, showers, and rents sun loungers and umbrellas for visitors. Food and drinks can be delivered to your spot on the sand, making a full day comfortable.
The beach is framed by sea caves carved into the rocks that become partially accessible at low tide. Boat tours also pass by these hidden grottoes along the coastline.
