On Sunday autumn finally arrived. We all knew it was coming, we’d seen the weather reports and we made the most of the last hot days by going to the beach on three consecutive days – an annual record. We’ll still be visiting the beach over the autumn and winter but it will be more for brisk walks and possibly a paddle and a sandcastle - I fear the bikini days are over until next year (at least I may have lost some weight by then).
We have made the effort to go to the beach as much as possible this summer. It’s such a great place for a high energy toddler to be and I believe the sea relaxes and benefits us all. The advantage of living as we do in the centre of the Salento peninsular is that we can choose a different beach every time we go. We try to go to as many new places as we can but also find our selves returning to the same special spots.
I thought I would write a list of our favourite places to help people visiting or relocating to the area. Most of them are marked on my community map at the bottom of the blog.
Baia dei Turchi, Adriatic
Punta della Suina, Ionian
Specchiulla, Adriatic
Porto Selvaggio, Ionian
Baia Verde, Ionian
Torre Pali, Ionian
Sant Isidoro, Ionian
Porto Badisco, Adriatic
Otranto town, Adriatic
Grotta Zinzulusa, Adriatic

Prego!
I hope you haven't quit your blog. I'm looking to create a community of bloggers in southern Italy.
It look like you have been hanging in for a long time.
That sounds like a good idea, Diana and Guido. And check out http://santa-cesarea-terme.blogspot.com/
Always wanted to go to Italy. Some day, some day.
Maybe my next vacation spot!
Nice blog, I have added you to our Italian blogroll at: http://casadolcetto.blogspot.com/
Ciao, Adrian
