About the beach
San Pietro beach, within Taranto (the province of Taranto, Apulia), is a beach on the Ionian Sea.
“San Pietro beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
The beach faces east (74°). It is most sheltered when the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
