About the beach
La Torretta is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Giovinazzo, in the province of Bari (Apulia), on the Adriatic Sea.
Facing north (12°), it is sheltered with the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW); with the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
