Best Beaches on the Gargano Coast, Puglia

The Gargano peninsula, the "spur" on Italy's boot, has a different character from the rest of Puglia's coast: white limestone cliffs, pine forest and dramatic sea stacks instead of long, flat sand. There's no railway reaching most of this coast, and several beaches involve a proper walk or a permit rather than a simple park-and-swim. This guide covers the three Gargano beaches documented so far, one in each of the peninsula's main towns.
