The enchanting landscape of Punta Prosciutto beach

The wild nature free from constraints and the unique ecosystem with lush flora and fauna and the also called ‘spunnulate’ by the natives (natural caves), has made this land recognizable but also vulnerable.
This is why this beach, also called Li Prisuddi in the local Salentine dialect, is part of the Natural Regional Park of the Coastal Dunes and of the Swamp of the Count – Parco Naturale Regionale di Palude del Conte e Dune Costiere”.
