About the beach
In the municipality of Vieste, in the province of Foggia (Apulia), Portopiatto is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.
Orientation: east (103°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW), keeps it calm; the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) 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).
