About the beach
In the municipality of Peschici, in the province of Foggia (Apulia), La Cala is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.
Orientation: north (1°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW), keeps it calm; the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) 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).
