About the beach
Cala Lunga, within Peschici (the province of Foggia, Apulia), is a sandy beach on the Adriatic Sea.
The beach faces north (355°). It is most sheltered when the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
