The beach of Marianelli is located within the nature reserve of Vendicari.

The water is transparent and crystal-clear and with its golden sand, you get a feeling of being isolated from the rest of the world. This beach is a treasure for those who want the ultimate tranquility, even in the summer season. Because of this, it has become a gay friendly beach and it is also popular with those who love naturism.

There are sand dunes dotted with wild thyme and shrubs, trunks and reeds.
