Holiday apartment in Marina Di Pulsano: Coast, Sand and History

Coastline between cliffs and sandy coves

The coast of Marina di Pulsano stretches for around 8 kilometres. Cliffs and sandy coves alternate, giving the coastline varied contours. In addition, the waters are mostly shallow. As a result, rocky sections, sandy coves and shallow waters lie alongside one another along the same coast. When choosing a section of beach, the shape of the shore and the water depth therefore provide clear points of reference.

Baia delle Canne and Lido Silvana

Baia delle Canne is also known as Le Canne and is separated from the La Fontana cove by a small rocky cliff. This cliff borders a long stretch of very fine sand. As a landmark along the coast, it marks the transition between Baia delle Canne and La Fontana. Lido Silvana also forms a long stretch of beach; the sand there is fine and light in colour. On these two stretches, a rocky divide and different characteristics of the sand therefore shape the shoreline.

Baia Serrone with beach facilities

Baia Serrone has a freely accessible, equipped beach. Sun loungers and parasols are available for hire there, as well as showers, a bar and a restaurant. Here, free access is combined with several specific facilities on the same beach. For a beach day with these amenities, Baia Serrone is therefore a clearly defined stretch of coast.

Torre Castelluccia and coastal history

Standing above Lido Silvana beach on a promontory, Torre Castelluccia is a Saracen tower. The tower is part of a defensive complex built in the 16th century. Thus, at the same stretch of coast, the beach meets a tangible reminder of earlier defensive structures. The historic site of Promontorio di Torre Castelluccia is also located in the immediate vicinity of Marina di Pulsano. The ancient site of Parco Archeologico di Saturo is likewise nearby. The Fortino Militare di Lama fort is also located in the vicinity of Marina di Pulsano.

Luogovivo, Maris Stella and Posidonia

Luogovivo (Baia del Pescatore) formerly served local fishermen as a landing and mooring place. The Maris Stella church provides spiritual care for holidaymakers and tourists in the coastal area of Pulsano. In the coastal waters of Pulsano, Posidonia forms extensive underwater meadows. Posidonia thus lies beneath the water's surface, while cliffs, coves and sandy stretches shape the visible shoreline. For those interested in natural history, this brings not only the shore but also Pulsano's marine environment into focus. The former function of Luogovivo and the Posidonia meadows belong to different levels of the coastal environment: one to history on land, the other to nature beneath the water's surface.
