Campomarino is a seaside resort on the Ionian coast of northern Salento, forming part of the Marina di Maruggio in the province of Taranto. The settlement stretches along a wide sandy bay backed by dunes and Mediterranean scrub, where the shallow turquoise waters create a calm and inviting coastline. Once a small fishing village, it has developed into a popular summer destination while retaining the relaxed character of a traditional seaside community.
The Torre di Campomarino, a 16th-century coastal watchtower, stands beside the marina and remains the symbol of the resort. The small harbour nearby serves fishing boats and leisure craft, while the seafront promenade offers restaurants and cafés overlooking the sea. The surrounding coastline includes protected dune areas and natural beaches extending towards San Pietro in Bevagna and Torre Ovo. Campomarino’s connection with Maruggio and its position along the Ionian shore make it one of the most appealing coastal centres in this part of Apulia.
