Torre Chianca beach

Torre Chianca is a popular beach on the Adriatic coast of Puglia, Italy. The tower itself is located far in the east, and it's not worth a visit. But the central beach area is pretty nice with perfectly clear water in the shallows - being great for the younger children. There are also few destroyed bunkers, as well as a notable lagoon leading to a lake of unclear origin. All of this makes the place to be quite diverse and interesting. There are occasional coastal areas with algae, but you can always walk a little aside to find a great spot to swim. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
