Litorale di Punta Prosciutto
Puglia
Punta Prosciutto's shallow, Caribbean-clear water and pale sand along the Salento's Ionian shore have made it one of Puglia's most photographed beaches, yet the dune system behind it remains under protection, with juniper and lentisk scrub stabilising the sand. The gently shelving seabed makes it a popular family swimming spot. Sunsets over the water here draw a steady evening crowd even outside peak season.
