Update March 15, 2025: This nature reserve is not worth a visit because of the extremely polluted environment by litter. During the entire walk there is both waste washed up by the sea and dumped on site. Very sad to see…

The natural oasis Torre Guaceto stands for beautiful sea and lots of nature. The landmark is this Aragonese tower Torre Guaceto

The Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, together with the Marine Protected Area, are one of the most beautiful protected areas in Puglia.

Inside the Torre Guaceto nature reserve there is the sandy beach of Penna Grossa, the only beach in the reserve. It can be accessed from the Penna Grossa road which leads to the free beach. Excellent for a stop and relaxation.

The Torre di Guaceto is a watchtower built in the 16th century by the Aragonese to defend themselves against Saracen raids. In the 18th century it played an important role for Venetian and Spanish merchant traffic in the Adriatic Sea, until its decline in the 19th century. Today it is located within the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, and houses a WWF headquarters with a small museum.

The Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve is a protected area in Salento near Brindisi, established in 1991 to conserve marine and terrestrial biodiversity. In addition to the various white sandy beaches awarded with the Blue Flag, there is an Aragonese tower which dominates the landscape and which can be reached by a good jog.
