In practice, however, access by land does not exist but it is possible to reach it only by sea.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Description of Cala dei Morti beach:<\/h2>\r\n<p>The name &#8220;Cala dei Morti&#8221; comes from the numerous <strong>legends<\/strong> that circulate about this bay. Some stories speak of shipwrecks and mysterious disappearances, which would have made Cala dei Morti a place of passage for the souls of the dead. Other stories tell that on this beach several sailors managed to save themselves during a terrible north-east storm. All these stories contribute to making the cove even more fascinating and <strong>mysterious.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The beach is surrounded by a high and imposing cliff, with a series of caves and natural cavities. The fine golden sand blends with the <strong>crystalline waters<\/strong> of the sea, creating a unique and suggestive atmosphere. It is accessible only by sea or via a steep and winding path that starts from the village of Mattinata. However, the effort of the climb is rewarded by the spectacular view that can be enjoyed from the top of the cliff.<\/p>\r\n<p>Cala dei Morti is a perfect place for those looking for a quiet and secluded beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the other seaside resorts. However, there are no services available, so you need to bring everything you need to spend a day at the beach. In conclusion, the Cala dei Morti in the Gargano is an unmissable destination for those who want to discover the natural beauties of the Apulian coast. A fascinating and mysterious beach, where wild nature blends with the charm of stories.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Characteristics:<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>gravelly<\/li>\r\n<li>wild<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph \/-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cala dei Morti is one of the most famous bays on the Gargano coast in the Italian region of Puglia.
