Porto Cesareo sits on the Ionian coast of the Salento peninsula in southern Apulia, 25 kilometres west of Lecce — the largest fishing port on this stretch of Italian Ionian coast. The town wraps around a sheltered bay with a working fishing harbour, separated from the open Ionian by a string of low offshore islets that form the Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area (the largest on the Italian Ionian, 17,000 hectares). The largest islet, Isola Grande (\"Big Island\"), sits 200 metres offshore and protects the harbour; the inner waters between the town and the islet are shallow turquoise sand-bottom — popular as a swim and snorkel anchorage. The town's seafront promenade holds a row of fish restaurants serving the local sea-urchin (ricci di mare) tradition. Porto Cesareo is 90 minutes from Gallipoli south and 2 hours from Otranto east by sail. Season runs May through October.
