In short<\/h2>

Torre Vado, or Marina di Torre Vado, is the seaside village of Morciano di Leuca (Lecce) on the Ionian coast of the Capo di Leuca, 9 km from Santa Maria di Leuca. The village has grown up around a small tourist harbour and a sixteenth-century watchtower. The coast is made up of low, flat rocks, with a small beach of fine sand near the harbour, and the Sorgenti, pools of cold fresh water, well up among the rocks. In 2026 it has the Blue Flag. The best months are June and September.<\/p><\/blockquote>

What is Torre Vado?<\/h2>

Torre Vado is a seaside hamlet of Morciano di Leuca, on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast, at the eastern end of the sandy shoreline that runs from Torre Pali through Pescoluse and Posto Vecchio. It is a village of little villas and holiday homes looking out to sea, with a tourist harbour, the tower it is named after, a seafront that comes alive until late in the evening in summer and a clear sea that stays shallow for a few metres and then gets deeper.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Torre Vado is made up of white houses, little streets running down to the sea and a seafront that fills with people on summer evenings, with markets, fairground rides and concerts. The village has grown mainly over the last few decades around the harbour, with its holiday homes: in winter just over eighty people live here, in summer it fills up with holidaymakers.<\/p>

Here the long sandy beach of Posto Vecchio gives way to low, flat rocks: you swim from the rocks or from the small sandy beach near the harbour, in clear water that stays shallow for a few metres and then drops away. This is the Salento of families, boat trips and cold dips at the springs. In this guide you will find how to get there, where to swim, what to see and how to plan your day, nearby too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
