Sant'Andrea sea stacks
Limestone sea stacks and walls off Torre Sant’Andrea, finale of the North Extended tour. The best known, the Lovers’ Arch, collapsed in the storm of 14-15 February 2026: it now lies on the seabed, and that stretch of coast already looks different.

Jacopo still runs along the remaining stacks and the tower on the coast: tall walls, deep water close to the rock.
The stop always depends on wind, swell and traffic in the area — even more so here, given the recent cliff erosion.
Keep your camera ready: even without the arch, this is still the shot that closes the four-hour loop.

A crescent of fine sand in the pine forest, within the Alimini Lakes protected oasis. The name recalls the Ottoman landing of 1480, just before the siege of Otranto.
NORTH EXTENDEDBaia Alimini
After Baia dei Turchi the landscape shifts: lagoon on one side, open Adriatic on the other. This stretch opens the North Extended route.
NORTH EXTENDEDFrassanito
A long stretch of sand towards Torre Sant’Andrea: dunes and pine forest behind the shore, more open sea than the base North tour bays.
