Spiaggia Di Dietro San Lorenzo is a serene and enchanting beach located in the Defensola area of Vieste, Puglia, Italy. Nestled behind the famous San Lorenzo church and away from the bustling main San Lorenzo beach, this roughly 200-meter-long stretch of sandy coast offers a peaceful retreat with crystal-clear, calm waters and a gently sloping sandy seabed. Surrounded by Mediterranean pinewoods and rocky outcrops, visitors can reach the beach through a scenic stone path that weaves through lush vegetation, creating an intimate connection with nature.
The beach is appreciated for its natural beauty and tranquility, being sheltered by cliffs that soften even strong Tramontana and Maestrale winds, making it a favored spot for those seeking a quiet coastal experience. Its shallow waters and calm sea also make it ideal for families with children and swimmers looking for a relaxed environment. The beach’s location within the Molinella district provides easy access from Vieste’s center and the nearby town of Peschici, enhancing its appeal as a charming getaway spot offering outstanding views of the traditional local fishing platform known as Trabucco.
Visitors often praise Spiaggia Di Dietro San Lorenzo for its blend of unspoiled nature and good facilities, including a nearby bathhouse, making it not only scenic but also comfortable for a full day of seaside enjoyment.
