Beaches of Marina di Pulsano
Marina di Pulsano, a coastal hamlet of the municipality of Pulsano, is renowned for its natural beauty and rich history. The coast, characterized by small rocky peninsulas known as the "Seven Points," forms bays of fine sand with picturesque names like Luogovivo and Montedarena. To the south stretches the Bosco Caggione, a green area with Aleppo pines that guards prehistoric remains, Roman villas, and ancient port structures.
The locality began to develop in the post-war period, mainly as a fishing settlement, and today it is a prominent tourist destination, recognized as one of the "Authentic Villages of Italy." Marina di Pulsano offers a wide range of accommodation facilities and commercial activities, especially near the beaches, including restaurants and bathing establishments.
