Spiaggia di Ponte dei Lapilli

Spiaggia di Ponte dei Lapilli is a serene and picturesque beach located in the town of Polignano a Mare. This tranquil beach is typically less crowded, offering visitors a peaceful respite from the city's bustle. Its natural beauty is characterized by a shoreline made up of small and large pebbles and crystal-clear waters that house a variety of marine life. The water near the shore can be slightly cold, warming up a few meters out. The beach's location under a bridge offers a pleasant shade, providing a reprieve from the sun. However, visitors are recommended to wear suitable footwear due to the rocky terrain of both the beach and the water, particularly near the right side of the beach where 'caves' are present and sea urchins can be found. Access to Spiaggia di Ponte dei Lapilli is via a dirt path, and it requires a descent down a section of the cliff. This makes it a popular choice among more adventurous visitors, including motorbike riders. Despite being a short 20-minute walk from the city, many prefer this beach over the city's beaches due to its tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty. Amenities at Spiaggia di Ponte dei Lapilli include free parking close to the beach, making it convenient for those who choose to drive there. The beach is also accessible via a caravan park located nearby.
