The seaside resort of San Cataldo
San Cataldo is one of the favored seaside resorts for vacationers in Salento. It is a pretty marina in Lecce, not far from the city center, and has become a popular destination for mass tourism in recent years.
Its coastline is characterized by a long series of white beaches and low cliffs overlooking a shallow, crystal-clear sea. The beaches follow one another embraced by a dense pine forest lush with eucalyptus and pine trees.
This stretch of coastline is super popular especially with scuba diving enthusiasts, thanks to the spectacular seabed rich in marine fauna and, indeed, the presence of notable ancient relics lying on the sea floor.
A few kilometers from San Cataldo one can go to visit theCesine Natural Oasis. The reserve today represents one of the last marshy areas that once stretched over the territory. Today it is under the protection of the WWF. The area, in fact, consists of several habitats that make it a precious treasure chest of biodiversity: temporary ponds, pine and holm oak forests and coastal marshes.
The reserve can be visited every day of the year and can only be accessed accompanied by an experienced local guide. It is therefore a good idea to book your tour on the park's official portal.
