About the beach
San Nicola, within Peschici (the province of Foggia, Apulia), is a sandy beach on the Adriatic Sea.
The beach faces north (3°). It is most sheltered when the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
