Costa Del Salento Beach is a well-regarded beach found in the coastal town of Lido Marini, which is part of the municipality of Ugento. Its location on the Ionian side of Salento makes it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The beach is renowned for its long, fine white sandy stretches and its clear, crystalline waters that change color from emerald to turquoise throughout the day. Its beautiful and untouched natural surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing beach day.
The beach is easily accessible from Brindisi Airport, which is located 118 km away, making it a convenient destination for visitors traveling from afar. Despite its popularity, the beach is primarily dedicated to the guests of the Costa Del Salento Village resort and the CDS Hotel, ensuring that it is never too crowded and that each visitor has ample space to relax and enjoy their day.
The beach is well-equipped with amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable visit. There are about 150 umbrellas, well-spaced and equipped with sunbeds and deckchairs, available for use. While the first two rows of umbrellas are available for a fee, the rest are free for resort and hotel guests. Additionally, there are hot and cold shower facilities, toilets, and a changing table available for use. Safety measures are also in place, with the availability of a defibrillator, a sea wheelchair for disabled visitors, and the presence of three lifeguards to ensure the safety of all bathers.
In addition to the beach amenities, visitors can also enjoy a range of entertainment options and facilities provided by the Costa Del Salento Village resort. These include a swimming pool, sports fields, a gym, and a children's playground. The resort also offers a buffet restaurant serving local and national cuisine, as well as themed evening entertainment. For those who wish to explore the area, car and bicycle rentals are available, along with a selection of excursions. A shuttle service is also provided for the convenience of the guests.
While the town of Lido Marini itself could benefit from additional maintenance by the municipality of Ugento, this minor issue does not detract from the overall positive experience enjoyed by visitors to Costa Del Salento Beach. The combination of its stunning natural beauty, well-maintained amenities, and the range of entertainment options available make it a must-visit destination in the region.
