Situated on the coast between Bari and Brindisi is the Reserve of Torre Guaceto. It has many beaches and since it is illegal to build here it is one of the beautiful gems of Puglia.
The further you walk from the car park the less people there are on the beach. Set within a secluded part of the reserve with the ancient ‘Torre’ (tower) in front of you, this is a naturist paradise.
With golden sand and calm waters, Torre Guaceto is a great place not only for lovers of lazing on the beach. In high season you can rent a bike and take a ride on defined routes, you can also walk at any time of year.
