But there is one thing our guests love especially: its enviable location. From a logistical point of view, Locorotondo is the perfect starting point for exploring Puglia. In just 20\u201340 minutes by car you can reach two completely different seas: the varied Adriatic coast and the Caribbean-like stretches of the Ionian coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning your days at the beach, this is the definitive guide you need: from the most exclusive beach clubs to free, wild coves \u2014 not forgetting the &#8220;secret of the wind&#8221; that every Pugliese knows by heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ionian-coast-vs-adriatic-coast-which-beach-to-choose-based-on-the-wind\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ionian Coast vs Adriatic Coast: Which Beach to Choose Based on the Wind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before setting the satnav, there is one essential step: check which way the wind is blowing. In Puglia the sea changes completely depending on the currents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The locals&#8217; golden rule is very simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>With wind from the SOUTH (Scirocco or Libeccio):<\/strong> Choose the Adriatic Coast. The sea from Monopoli to Ostuni will be flat, crystal clear and as transparent as a swimming pool. The Ionian, instead, may be rough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With wind from the NORTH (Tramontana or Mistral):<\/strong> Choose the Ionian Coast. The Taranto side will turn into a Caribbean-like expanse of calm turquoise water. The Adriatic, instead, will be choppier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"beach-clubs-on-the-adriatic-coast-from-monopoli-to-ostuni-for-comfort-and-beauty\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beach Clubs on the Adriatic Coast: From Monopoli to Ostuni for Comfort and Beauty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for total relaxation, comfy sunbeds, bar service and excellent seaside restaurants for your day at the beach, the Adriatic coast (20\u201330 minutes from Locorotondo) offers outstanding options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ondabluostuni.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ondabluostuni.it\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lido Onda Blu <\/a>(Ostuni): Set inside the Regional Natural Park of the Coastal Dunes, a protected area of outstanding environmental importance, it offers the ultimate relaxation in full respect of nature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lidomorelli.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.lidomorelli.it\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lido Morelli <\/a>(Ostuni): Immersed in the Coastal Dunes Natural Park, it features fine sand and gently shelving seabeds.

If you choose an equipped beach club, we recommend booking your umbrella spot a few days ahead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water shoes in your backpack: If you love Adriatic coves like Cala Tre Buchi or Torre Pozzelle, always bring a pair of water shoes to move easily over the rocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy the sunset on the Ionian: If you decide to spend the day on the Ionian coast, stay until evening. Unlike the Adriatic (where the sun rises from the sea), on the Ionian you can admire a breathtaking sunset with the sun diving straight into the water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"your-holiday-home-in-locorotondo-the-perfect-starting-point\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Holiday Home in Locorotondo: The Perfect Starting Point<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing <strong>Locorotondo<\/strong> for your holiday means you don&#8217;t have to settle for just one sea.
