With soft, white-sand beaches and crystal clear water, it's no wonder the Italians call Puglia the 'Caribbean of Italy'. In August, the northerners flock to the coastline here, to relax by the true blue, enjoy the delicious food and soak up some rays.
Trullo Carlotta is generally a 40 minutes' drive from some of the best beaches on Torre Canne and Capitolo (Adriatic Sea) and is a great place to stay if you're looking for a bit of sand between your toes. We also have a private pool on-site if this doesn't float your boat.
Below is a very select handful of beaches we tend to go back to every year, and we'll be honest: we always usually go to another beach a bit further up called San Stefano, one of the most exclusive and famous beaches in its own private cove, popular with celebrities and VIPs. However, in an act of solidarity we'll not be promoting it until it matches the state of the facilities it offers with its prices. So for now, enjoy our fave four!

1. Sabbiadoro, Capitolo
A clean, family-friendly beach with an ibiza-esque vibe. One for the kids, especially if they're older. If you get tired of relaxing by the crystal blue (imagine that!) you can use the sports court, relax in the on-site bar and restaurant pr take the children to the playground. They even have free Wi-Fi. For more information visit www.lidosabbiadoro.com. Busy at weekends.
2. Lido Verde, Torre Canne
A great private beach, one of the cheaper ones. But if you wanted to really cut costs and you've remembered to bring the bright yellow umbrelloni and a couple of chairs from the pool room, there's a great patch of free beach to the right hand side as you walk onto it. It's clean and usually quiet, and you can enjoy access to the facilities and bar. You can also park on the road outside the entrance if you don't want to pay for parking.
3. Lido di Monopoli, Monopoli
This is a great little beach if you're staying in the town. It's a short walk from the centre and costs nothing, although this means there are no facilities either. Cafés and restaurants are within sight and it's clean.
4. Cala Porto, Polignano
A simple and free patch pf sand on a small inlet surrounded by rocky caves. Many of the locals use the rocks to set up camp for the morning, afternoon or day. You're close to some incredible restaurants and cafés such as Trattoria Il Grottone offering superb antipasti and fresh seafood, as well as being a short walk from the historic town of Polignano.
