Torre Quetta, Shingle beach in Bari, Italy
Torre Quetta is a shingle beach along the Adriatic Sea in Bari, stretching across the shoreline with smooth pebbles and stones rather than sand. The area features multiple access points, benches, walking paths, changing facilities, and several food establishments nearby.
The beach lies near ancient maritime trade routes of Bari, which served as a major Mediterranean port since Roman times. This seafaring heritage continues to shape the region.
Local fishermen work near Torre Quetta using traditional methods and supply fresh catches to nearby seafood restaurants. This connection between craft and dining shapes the character of the place.
The beach is well equipped with many entry points and has level pathways that are easy to navigate for most visitors. It is worth arriving early in the day to find parking and quieter sections.
The pebble composition shifts color throughout the day, changing from light gray in morning light to deep charcoal at sunset. This color change is especially noticeable under different lighting conditions.
