On the coast road between San Cataldo and Otranto, the territory offers an extremely interesting natural panorama, with dunes and beaches alternate with high cliffs. The name Torre dell’Orso comes from the presence of a 16th – century sighting tower, today in ruins.
The buttonhole flower of this stretch of coast is the well-known holiday resort Torre dell’Orso, which is famous thanks to its beautiful sandy beaches and its clean crystal clear sea due to the strong undercurrents of the Canale d’Otranto, which has been titled many times Bandiera Blu (blue flag).
The beach is nearly 1 km long and it is framed by high rocky walls with a great number of caves, once used as storehouses by the fishermen. In the middle of the bay stand two twin stacks called Scogli delle due sorelle (rocks of the two sisters). In Torre dell’Orso, it is possible to practice windsurf, thanks to its winds favouring water acrobatics.
