Facts and practical information

Torre dell'Orso is a seaside resort in Salento, marina of Melendugno, in the province of Lecce.

Known for its beach of fine silver-colored sand, occupied, however, by several bathing establishments, Torre dell'Orso boasts a particularly clear sea due to the currents of the Otranto Channel. Thanks to this feature in summer, the resort is frequented by many tourists and has been awarded Europe's Blue Flag several times for the transparency and cleanliness of the sea.
