Specchia offers a unique base for a beach holiday in Puglia. While located inland, this charming historic town is perfectly positioned between two different coastlines. This central location allows for easy day trips to the sea. The closest spots, like the small port at Beach Tricase Porto, are just a short drive away, offering quick access to the water.
From Specchia, you can easily choose between two distinct coastal experiences. To the west, the Ionian coast boasts some of Italy's most celebrated sandy beaches. Here you will find the famous white sands of Pescoluse, often called the 'Maldives of Salento', and the stunning scenery of Punta Prosciutto Beach. In contrast, the eastern Adriatic coast is dramatic and rugged, home to the iconic sea stacks at Torre Sant'Andrea.
The true joy of staying in Specchia is the freedom to explore this diverse shoreline. You can discover stunning coves like the fjord-like inlet of Cala dell'Acquaviva or find your own perfect spot along the shore. Whether you prefer vast sandy stretches or rocky coves with crystal-clear water, there is a perfect beach waiting for you.
