Looking for clear water among low rocks and small coves, a little sandy beach in the village and sunsets over the sea about twenty minutes from Gallipoli? This guide takes you to Marina di Mancaversa, the seaside village of Taviano on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast, between Torre Suda and Punta Pizzo: the little beach of the Mare dei Cavalli, swimming from the rocks, the seafront at sunset, the path along the sea towards the Torre del Pizzo and everything there is to see nearby, with practical tips and local curiosities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In short<\/h2>

Marina di Mancaversa, Baccaversa in dialect, is the only hamlet of Taviano (Lecce), on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast between Torre Suda and Punta Pizzo, about twenty minutes by car from Gallipoli. It has a low, almost entirely rocky coastline, about 900 metres long, with small coves and, in the village, a little sandy beach called Mare dei Cavalli. The coast faces west, so in the evening the sun sets over the sea. Immediately to the north begins the Isola di Sant\u2019Andrea e Litorale di Punta Pizzo Regional Nature Park. The best months are June and September.<\/p><\/blockquote>

What is Marina di Mancaversa?<\/h2>

Marina di Mancaversa, simply Mancaversa to everyone, is the seaside village of Taviano, on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast, between Torre Suda (Racale) to the south and Punta Pizzo (Gallipoli) to the north. It is a village of little villas and holiday homes that has grown mainly since the post-war years, with a seafront above the rocks, small parks, a square near the sea and clear water that you enter from the low rocks or from the sand of the little beach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Mancaversa is made up of little villas, low houses and gardens, with the seafront following the rocks and piazza Sant\u2019Anna a few steps from the little beach. In winter it is a silent village; in summer the holiday homes fill up with families and holidaymakers, and in the evening people stroll along the seafront waiting for the sunset.<\/p>

This is not the place for long beaches lined with beach clubs: here you swim from the low rocks and in the small coves, in clear water that takes on every shade of turquoise in summer, or from the sand of the Mare dei Cavalli, right in the centre. This is the Salento of quiet days, walks along the coast 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
