Caletta Porto Russo, Sandy beach in Otranto, Italy
The sandy beach extends along the coastline with clear Mediterranean waters and natural rock formations that create small private coves.
The beach area served as a natural harbor for local fishermen throughout the 20th century before becoming a recreational destination in the 1990s.
Local families gather at this beach during summer evenings to participate in traditional Salentine music performances and seafood preparation demonstrations.
Visitors can access the beach through a dedicated pathway from the main road, with parking facilities available 200 meters from the shore.
The water depth changes gradually over 50 meters, creating different temperature zones that attract various Mediterranean fish species throughout the year.
