Marina Di Pulsano: Coastline Between Bays and History

Coastline Between Cliffs and Sand

Marina Di Pulsano features a varied coastal landscape. Cliffs and sandy coves alternate along the coast, which is approximately 8 kilometres long overall. For you, this means a landscape in which rocky formations and long stretches of sand are an integral part of the townscape. For spatial planning purposes, the approximate coastline length provides a general framework. For a single day at the beach, however, the specific shape of the shore remains decisive. Cliffs and sandy coves characterise different sections of the Marina Di Pulsano coastline.

Baia delle Canne, also known as Le Canne, is separated from La Fontana bay by a small rocky cliff; at the same time, this cliff borders a long stretch of very fine sand. Lido Silvana adds a long beach section of fine, light-coloured sand to the landscape. When planning a day at the beach, you can compare the rocky, separated Baia delle Canne with the long, light-sand stretch of Lido Silvana.

Beaches and Shallow Waters

The predominantly shallow waters of Marina Di Pulsano are suitable for family beach holidays. Baia Serrone has a freely accessible, equipped beach with sun lounger and parasol rental, showers, a bar and a restaurant. This means that, at Baia Serrone, the water, beach facilities and dining options are all concentrated along the same stretch of coast for a day at the beach.

The area around Marina Di Pulsano also includes Spiaggia a Taranto beach, Spiaggia Librari beach, Elisir Beach and Lido Bruno.

Nature Beneath the Water's Surface

The coast of Pulsano also has a natural feature beneath the water: Posidonia forms extensive underwater meadows in the coastal waters of Pulsano. The meadows are located in the water and not on the visible sandy areas of the coast.

History Along the Coast

Torre Castelluccia is a Saracen tower on a promontory above Lido Silvana beach. The tower belongs to a defensive complex built in the 16th century. Along the coastal section of Lido Silvana, fine light-coloured sand therefore meets a structure from the defensive history of the 16th century.

The historic site of Promontorio di Torre Castelluccia is located in the immediate vicinity of Marina Di Pulsano. The ancient site of Parco Archeologico di Saturo and the Fortino Militare di Lama fort are also nearby. The area around Marina Di Pulsano therefore includes Promontorio di Torre Castelluccia, Parco Archeologico di Saturo and Fortino Militare di Lama. The tower and the sandy area are located along the same coastal section of Lido Silvana, while Saturo and Lama are in the surrounding area.

Luogovivo, Baia del Pescatore, formerly served local fishermen as a landing and mooring place.

A Place with Its Own Spiritual Connection
