Frascone, Beach in Sant'Isidoro, Nardò, Italy
Frascone is a beach in Sant'Isidoro, Nardò, in Puglia's Salento region, divided into three separate sections. Natural rock formations separate sandy areas along the shoreline.
Frascone lies on the coast of the Salento peninsula in the province of Lecce, Puglia, about 500 km southeast of Rome. The area has a mild climate, with an average annual temperature of around 17 °C, July averages near 29 °C and January near 8 °C, and roughly 907 mm of rain a year, heaviest in November.
The name Frascone comes from the local word 'frasche', referring to the thick Mediterranean vegetation that surrounds the area. These plants still shape the character and appearance of this coastal spot today.
A large parking area next to SP 286 road provides access through walking paths. You should bring water and supplies since there are no facilities or shops on site.
The beach takes its name from the frasche, the dense Mediterranean scrub that grows right up to the sand, and the three separate sandy coves are divided by low rock formations that bathers use as natural windbreaks.
