In short<\/h2>

Torre Mozza is a seaside village of Ugento (Lecce) on the Ionian coast of southern Salento, between Torre San Giovanni and Lido Marini, about 20 km from Santa Maria di Leuca. It takes its name from its coastal tower of 1565, originally called Torre dei Fiumi or Torre Fiumicelli, which was left \u00abmozza\u00bb (truncated) after several collapses. It has a long beach of fine, pale sand, with a sandy seabed that slopes gently, and behind it stretches the Litorale di Ugento Regional Nature Park, with dunes, pine woods and basins of water. In 2026 it has the Blue Flag. The best months are June and September.<\/p><\/blockquote>

What is Torre Mozza?<\/h2>

Torre Mozza is a seaside resort in the municipality of Ugento, on the Ionian side of southern Salento. It is a small village of little villas, hotels and holiday homes that grew up around a sixteenth-century watchtower, looking out over a sandy beach that runs for kilometres towards Torre San Giovanni and towards Lido Marini. Around the village there are the dunes, the Mediterranean scrub and the basins created by the twentieth-century land reclamation, now protected by the park.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Torre Mozza is made up of small villas and low white houses looking out over the coast road and the sea, and of a stone tower that stands on a lawn a few steps from the shore. In winter it is almost deserted; in summer it fills up with families, with its hotels, holiday villages, holiday homes and beach clubs, but it stays quieter than nearby Torre San Giovanni.<\/p>

People come here above all for the sea: you walk into the water over the sand, the seabed slopes gently and the water is clear, with reflections ranging from turquoise to sky blue. This is the Salento of beach days with the children, walks along the water\u2019s edge and sunsets over the sea. 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
