About this site
Il Canalone lies along the coastline near Castrignano del Capo, at the southern tip of the Salento peninsula in Puglia, close to Santa Maria di Leuca where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet. The stretch is characterized by rocky limestone shoreline typical of this part of the Salento coast, reached by boat from the small harbors in the area.
