About the beach
Vignanotica, within Vieste (the province of Foggia, Apulia), is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.
The beach faces southeast (137°). It is most sheltered when the Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
