    Beautiful white sandy beach with crystal clear waters. Amazing views and different shades of blues with a long shore. The place was packed with tourists but we decided mainly for our comfort to rent two lounges and an umbrella which was really worth it.
    You will need a good 30 minutes walk to get to the beach as the parking lot is far. Remember you will need to walk back the same path to get to the car but it was really worth it. Highly recommended beach to go to.

    Great beach, crystal clear water. Lots of Lidos and entertainment but also public areas in between. Well worth a visit.

    Worth the trip to see this cute bay.
    Always crowded, but clean and safe swimming.
    Sit on the rocks as the beach is not soo clean.

    The beach looks great. However the restaurant is a nightmare. Food decent but huge queues and bad organisation.

    Otranto Lungomare is a seaside promenade stretching along the 15c city walls. Beneath them is a terrific city beach with amazing crystal clear water to cool down during the day heat, while after dusk it becomes a relaxing area for walking.

    Use the restaurant departement! Friendly hospitality. Fast and secure service at our table. Owner and other personel come checking frequently.
    Large portions Insalata Caprese and Sushi. Of good quality.
    Background music is not of my taste. And no variety in music sort.

    Really scenic beach with an actual ship wreck to explore. Great lidos available for reasonable prices and a toilet and bar too. Haven’t tried any of the hot food but I’m sure it’s great. I would recommend to anyone wanting to go to the beach when in Puglia.

    Nice beach, we were there "out of season" so not so much people,but clear sea, lot of space and nice wind what makes us comfy while sunbeding.
    Be careful with parking, there is free parking place right after paid parking place (big sign "Azzura beach" makes you think thats the only entrance to the beach)

    Good price with respect to other structures and good services. But you are not connected for the entire day. Wifi does not work.

    The spot is beautiful - we visited three times in two weeks - an 80-minute walk along the coast path from Otranto. We ate the restaurant twice BUT... while the produce is excellent, the food is only good - good is good, it's just that we expected more - and the service... well, we had to leave a passport hostage in case we ran off with the deck chairs once we'd paid our €30! I mean, really... all the way back to Otranto? But the real downside: one waiter, who was charming, didn't wash his hands after leaving the toilet. Come on, Orte... educate your staff on basic hygiene...

    We had our young child with us, so needed some shade. This was basically the only option, so we begrudgingly handed over the EUR 25 for two beds and an umbrella.

    Theoretically this would have got us beds on row 4 or further back - they charge a 20% premium for the first 3 rows - but as it was very quiet we were given front row seats.

    Despite it being so quiet, they decided to put everyone in the same section rather than spreading people out!

    Over in Gallipoli, the same thing would have only been €8. Much more sensible price.
