   Does Lecce have a beach?

   • Lecce is sometimes described as having a beach, though the town lies several miles from the sea. The beach in question is a stretch of Adriatic coast at San Cataldo, with bus connections from the town centre. For a really nice seaside day out though, it’s worth travelling further, to lovely Otranto.

   Lecce is the ideal base for exploring the Salento region as it’s located between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas so you can reach all of the peninsula’s sights within 30–60 minutes. In just over an hour you can also visit the gorgeous towns of the Valle d’Itria further north, but I prefer to stay in that area for part of my time in Puglia.
