Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Greater attention to the "res publica"!

Aug 2023 • Couples

A beautiful but very dirty beach. Truly a great shame to see a mess of rubbish under a wonder of nature just because it is a public area, not cared for, not clean and where the uncivilized people on duty complete everything... I am amazed at the local administration which does not pay more attention to situations like this given that the air breathed by tourists is well paid for! Nothing to complain about for the paid beaches, honors and merits to the managers.

Very nice and with lots of free beach

Aug 2024 • Couples

Parking is located on the seafront. Just scratch, with 7 euros you can stay all day. And there is plenty of space as well as on the beach. There are also many free beaches. I think the area is one of the most beautiful, also due to the presence of the monolith.

This iconic monument jutting out of the sea is an amazing marker on an amazing beach. We loved the experience and plan on coming back for the sun and water in future vacations.

Pizzomunno is a geological marvel and great beach

May 2015

I have visited this beach often since the late sixties and it is always a marvel to behold the giant limestone monolith commonly known as the Pizzomunno. The summer months are the warmest months to visit and naturally the busiest. If you just want beach time, stay at one of the nearby hotels and avoid the hassle of driving back and forth. Parking is almost non-existent and a major headache for this popular touristy town. From the Pizzomunno Hotel or Hotel degli Aranci or Hotel Falcone, you can easily walk to town, to the beach and the old city, but avoid mid-afternoon walks. The summer heat is suffocating and brutal.

Beautiful beach and impressive rock

Aug 2024 • Family

It was a nice beach with waves. Walked all the way to the side where the Pizzomunno monolith was. It was big from the bottom. Very impressive and seeing the town of Vieste from the bottom was cool

Pleasant beach with interesting rock feature.

Sept 2019

This is a wide expansive beach close to Vieste with a dominating single pillar of rock garnished by a romantic legend. Safe and shallow sloping, an ideal spot for safe bathing with children.

A big rock

Oct 2019

It's a big rock. It's a pretty big rock. And if you are in Vieste, how can you miss seeing this lovely big rock? I'd say: no, you can't.

Non so se la legge di zona lo permette. Comunque nell'unico tratto di spiaggia libera, ovvero sotto lo scoglio di Pizzomunno, diverse persone lo hanno portato il cane senza problemi.

Lungo tutto il litorale ci sono parcheggi a pagamento, 1 euro all'ora, 7 per tutta la giornata, ma se il vostro hotel è nelle vicinanze, si può andare tranquillamente a piedi. 😀

Le spiagge di San Lorenzo e della Scialara sono le due più vicine al centro cittadino di Vieste. Ce ne sono diverse: Porto Nuovo a poca distanza dalla città, sabbiosa e comodamente raggiungibile in macchina; San Felice, Campi con l'omonimo isolotto poco distante dalla riva, Porto Greco molto bella per via della vegetazione che sorge a ridosso, Cala della Pergola raggiungibile da una stradina che parte dalla litoranea Mattinata - Vieste, l'affollatissima nonchè bellissima spiaggia di Vignanotica, Defensola e Scialmarino che si trovano lungo la strada che da Vieste va a Peschici, Molinella a nord di Vieste, Chianca, Crovatico Piccola praticamente deserta e poco conosciuta dai turisti, Sfinalicchio molto bella per le sua enorme duna di sabbia che degrada verso il mare e la fitta vegetazione. Riassumendo, le spiagge di Campi, Porto Greco, Cala della Pergola e Scialmarino sono le uniche dove non sono presenti stabilimenti balneari mentre nelle altre spiagge le zone libere si alternano ai tratti occupati dagli stabilimenti balneari. Buone Vacanze

Il mare non è inquinato. La bandiera blu non indica il mare ma la ricettività del posto....alberghi ecc... Pensa che Rimini ha la bandiera blu ed il mare è nero dall'inquinamento.
