The beach clubs of Taranto: the equipped lidos of San Vito and the shoreline, with umbrellas, sunbeds, bars and restaurants. Where to spend a relaxing day by the sea.
History
Those seeking comfort and services will find, along the shoreline of Taranto and the Ionian coast, numerous equipped beach clubs — the lidos offering umbrellas, sunbeds, bars, restaurants and often entertainment and music, for a day at the sea devoted to relaxation and fun.
What to see
The San Vito area, the closest city lido, hosts historic establishments with a well-kept beach, solarium, showers, cabins and lifeguard service, often completed by a restaurant and evening disco bar. Along the coast, from north to south, lidos follow one another for every taste: some quiet and family-friendly, others livelier with music and aperitifs.
Towards the Ionian coast (Marina di Pulsano, Leporano, Castellaneta Marina, Campomarino) the beach clubs multiply, particularly in July and August, with a lively social scene. Many establishments allow online booking of umbrellas and sunbeds, useful in high season.
Did you know…
- Many lidos combine beach, restaurant and disco bar to enjoy the sea into the evening.
