Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala di San Pietro (Lecce) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala di San Pietro (Lecce) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala di San Pietro for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This deserted beach club has a great view, and the old wooden pontoon, though a bit worn, is still usable. Our kids had a blast jumping and diving off it. Plus, it's away from the hustle and bustle, with a peaceful parking area nearby.

When I visited the cove in June 2019, the resort was sadly closed and semi-abandoned, yet it was still possible to access the cove from various other points. It was truly stunning.
