Spiaggia la Puritate

Spiaggia la Puritate is a beach along the coast of Gallipoli that curves beneath the old town walls. The sandy shore slopes gently into the Adriatic Sea and is lined with restaurants and cafes positioned close to the water's edge.

The beach sits beside Gallipoli's medieval port, which served as a key trading hub in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages. This maritime past continues to shape how the coastal area looks and functions today.

The beach sits directly in front of the old town where traditional fishing boats operate daily in the adjacent waters. You can watch local fishermen at work using methods that have been passed down through generations.

You reach the beach by stone steps leading down from the old town, which are easy to spot and navigate. Restaurants and cafes nearby offer shade and refreshments while you spend time by the water.

The beach offers stunning views of sunsets as the sun drops behind the ancient fortification walls. This moment is often overlooked by visitors even though it happens regularly on clear days.
