Go for a paddle on a toddler-friendly beach
Marina di Ugento’s beaches are calm and rock-free. Their super-fine sands are lapped by an aqua-blue lagoon that stays at a good paddling depth for tens of metres – perfect for small children to play in. If you pitch a parasol in Torre San Giovanni, you’ll be metres away from a restaurant-filled avenue, so you won’t have far to go for lunch or a cold drink.
