Looking for a beach of pale sand among low rocks, with crystal-clear sea and a pine wood behind it, a few kilometres from Gallipoli? This guide takes you to Punta della Suina, the small point on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast inside the Punta Pizzo regional nature park: swimming in the coves, the flat rock in front of the point, the walk along the shore, the parking and the rules that change every summer, the sunsets over the gulf and everything you need to know to plan your day, 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>

Punta della Suina, also called Punta Suina or simply \u00abla Suina\u00bb, is a small rocky point on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast, in the municipality of Gallipoli (Lecce), about 11 km by road from the old town. On either side small coves of fine sand open up, separated by low rocks, with crystal-clear sea and a mostly sandy seabed; behind lies the pine wood with its Mediterranean scrub. It is part of the Isola di Sant\u2019Andrea e litorale di Punta Pizzo regional nature park: the car stays in the car parks along the coast road and you reach the sea on foot in a few minutes. In summer it is one of the busiest beaches in Gallipoli, and in the evening the sun sets over the gulf. The best months are June and September.<\/p><\/blockquote>

What is Punta della Suina?<\/h2>

Punta della Suina is a low rocky headland on the Gulf of Gallipoli, on the coast road that runs from the town down towards Santa Maria di Leuca, between Li Foggi and Baia Verde to the north and Lido Pizzo and Punta Pizzo to the south-west. It is not a village but a protected stretch of coast: sandy coves, low rocks sloping gently down to the sea, a pine wood and, next to the point, a few beach clubs alternating with stretches of free beach. To get there you leave the car and cross a short stretch of pine wood and scrub on foot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Punta della Suina is a simple place to describe: a tongue of pale rock that juts just slightly into the sea, coves of fine sand on either side, water ranging from turquoise to blue and, behind, the pines and the bushes of mastic, myrtle and rosemary. In front of the point a large flat rock rises just above the water, and from the shore your gaze takes in the whole gulf, as far as the outline of Gallipoli.<\/p>

There are no houses by the sea: it is a stretch of coast inside a regional park, with a few beach clubs and stretches of free beach. In summer it fills up, especially at weekends; out of season it becomes quiet again. In this guide you will find how to get there and where to leave the car, where to swim, what to see along the coast 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
