Padula Bianca beach

Padula Bianca is a superb beach in the east of Ionian coast, Apulia, Italy. White sand shallows with clear water are great for younger children. While in the background, there are spectacular sand dunes with a pine forest. There are no many free areas, and these are overcrowded. However, it's not so many people, if you move to the south. There is also aquapark, located further to the south. Unlike most other popular beaches of Apulia, it is very clean here. There is also home reef with some snorkeling. It is best to avoid a high season in July-August. As for the rest of time, almost the entire coastline will belong to you only. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
