About the beach

In the municipality of Mattinata, in the province of Foggia (Apulia), Grottone del Pescatore is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.

Orientation: southeast (153°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N), keeps it calm; the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.

Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.

Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
