Spiaggia Libera, Fasano is a public beach situated along the Savelletri-Torre Canne coast in Fasano, Italy. This beach project was spearheaded with the intent of providing a free public beach with amenities for the local community. The beach is set apart by its natural, wild characteristics and is often described as serene during weekdays due to lesser crowd.
The natural characteristics of Spiaggia Libera include a rocky terrain, both on the shore and in the water. This makes it essential for visitors to wear appropriate footwear for comfort and safety. Despite its popularity, the vastness of the beach gives an impression of endlessness. However, it's important to note that seaweeds are a common sight in the water, and there have been reports of litter issues on the beach, highlighting the need for increased environmental consciousness among visitors.
Spiaggia Libera offers amenities such as bathrooms, showers, and a refreshment point for the convenience of beachgoers. This project is part of a larger plan to enhance and improve the coastal area, with 60% of the coastline planned to remain free and the remaining 40% available for private use.
Concerning parking, the beach provides a free public parking area on the mountainside of the coast. This parking area, which is large enough to accommodate 450 cars, is located in front of the stretch of coast between the former "Fortino" restaurant and the former "Imarfa" marble company. An additional parking area is also set to be built on the mountainside of the road that leads from Savelletri to Egnazia, serving future beach facilities.
Access to Spiaggia Libera is straightforward, with no need for parking near the coast, making it an accessible destination for beachgoers. Despite its location between several expensive lidos, Spiaggia Libera stands out as a free beach, offering a cost-effective option for those looking to enjoy the beach without the hefty price tag. However, during peak times and particularly good weather, parking might prove challenging due to limited spaces.
