About this site
Grotta Delle Ombrine lies along the rocky coastline near Castrignano del Capo, at the southern tip of the Salento peninsula in Puglia, close to where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet. This stretch of the Capo di Leuca coast is known for its limestone cliffs and sea caves, typically explored by boat out of nearby harbors. Divers here have reported black scorpionfish, comber and painted comber, East Atlantic peacock wrasse and ornate wrasse, Mediterranean damselfish, Mediterranean red coral, and violescent sea-whip along the rock and cave walls.
