Cocumola - all beaches

We took a 3-hour excursion that included exploring all the caves and coves along the coast from Castro to Santa Cesarea Terme that lead into the Adriatic Sea. We want to give a special thanks to Skipper Rolando and his son Alessandro for making our trip enjoyable even though the sea was rough. The boat was well-managed and their professionalism was outstanding. The stops at the coves were amazing, with crystal clear water that allowed us to have breathtaking swims and go snorkeling. The addition of music, onboard aperitifs, and overall happiness made the experience even better. We highly recommend booking directly on site.

Acqua cristallina in un'insenatura profonda e quindi spesso ben riparata. Invece della spiaggia di sabbia che in alta stagione è molto affollata, informarsi se possibile l'accesso tramite la pineta sul lato sinistro della baia. In questo caso l'accesso al mare sarà impervio, ma se potete farlo ne varrà la pena.

This is an ideal destination to visit if you're looking for a serene beach experience. It offers convenient access to the sea, and the parking facility is conveniently located nearby. If you're willing to spend some money, you can make use of the luxurious amenities like comfortable beds and tables to enhance your beach experience.

The beach visit was a letdown as we embarked on a 40-minute stroll from Otranto Porto only to be informed that the sole access to the tourist town required a 10€ fee per person. If you do decide to venture, make sure to pack some slippers to navigate the slippery stairs. Additionally, exercise caution when entering the ocean as a metal structure is present in the water. In my opinion, I would not suggest visiting this location.

The beach is absolutely stunning, boasting crystal-clear light blue waters. You'll find the beach nestled in a bay, complete with platforms carved into the rocks for your comfort. The bay offers protection from the wind, which can be a plus on breezy days, but might not be ideal during scorching hot weather.
