Spiaggia di Peschici, Mediterranean beach in Peschici, Italy

Spiaggia di Peschici is a beach on the Adriatic coast in the province of Foggia, Puglia, about 290 km east of Rome. It lies in the Gargano National Park, with white sand and limestone cliffs, and several entry points connect the shore to the town above.

Ancient wooden fishing structures called trabucchi have stood on this coast since the 18th century and remain in use today. These platforms demonstrate centuries of fishing tradition at this location.

Fishermen from the town continue age-old practices that shape daily life along the shore and define the working harbor. Their presence and boats remain central to how locals and visitors experience the waterfront.

The beach lies about 290 km east of Rome in the Province of Foggia, Puglia. Average temperatures range from 4 °C in January to 24 °C in July, and the area receives about 718 mm of rain annually, with September the wettest month. Access is from the town above via stairs and paths.

Small coves form naturally between rock outcrops along the shoreline and are reachable mainly by boat or narrow coastal trails. These hidden spots feel removed from the busier open beach areas.
