The prices are in line with those of other places in the area: you can enjoy a stuffed sandwich or a fresh salad for lunch at a modest cost, or treat yourself to a fish dish of the day at the restaurant at an affordable price. A cocktail or a glass of local wine at aperitif time has a similar cost to that of a normal city bar.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>To check the updated price list we suggest you consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lidoplayadelsol.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>official website of the lido<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22094\" style=\"width: 1886px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22094\" src=\"https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol.jpg\" alt=\"playa del sol ugento\" width=\"1886\" height=\"1886\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol.jpg 1886w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tramonto-torre-mozza-playa-del-sol-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1886px) 100vw, 1886px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playa del Sol Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Where is the Lido Playa del Sol Ugento and how to get there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lido <\/span><b>Playa del Sol Ugento<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is located on the Ionian coast of Salento, in the locality of Torre Mozza, in the municipality of Ugento (province of Lecce).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are in the south-western part of Puglia, between <\/span><b>Gallipoli<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Santa Maria di Leuca<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: in fact, Torre Mozza is about 30 km south of Gallipoli and just over 30 km north of Leuca. The beach on which the lido stands is part of a long sandy coastline that connects the various marinas of Ugento and offers enchanting marine scenery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>By car<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, reaching Playa del Sol in Ugento is easy. From Lecce (about 70 km further north) take the highway to Gallipoli (SS101) and then continue towards Leuca on the SS274. Exiting at the junction for Ugento\/Torre San Giovanni, follow the signs for Torre Mozza. The beach is located along the coastal road of Torre Mozza (Via Giovanni Battista Tiepolo), a few steps from the beach and well signposted. You can park your car conveniently in the immediate vicinity of the establishment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you travel by <\/span><b>public transport<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, know that in summer the area is served by connections dedicated to tourists. From the capital Lecce, the <\/span><b>Salento In Bus<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> service departs, a network of summer buses that connect Lecce and Gallipoli to the marinas of Ugento and Santa Maria di Leuca, also stopping at Torre Mozza (near the coastal tower). Furthermore, from the center of Ugento, <strong>local shuttles<\/strong> depart for Torre Mozza. Even without a car, therefore, you can easily reach the beach and enjoy the sea in total freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22092\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22092\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22092\" src=\"https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1.jpg\" alt=\"playa del sol ugento\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villeinsalento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chiosco-playa-del-sol-torre-mozza-2048x2048-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playa del Sol Photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Activities around Playa del Sol Ugento<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surroundings of Playa del Sol Ugento offer many activities and places to discover. The nearby town of <\/span><b>Ugento<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a beautiful historic center of stone streets, an ancient castle and a baroque cathedral. Around the coast of Torre Mozza, there is the <\/span><b>Ugento Coast Natural Park<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a protected area of \u200b\u200bsand dunes and coastal pine forests: if you love nature, you can follow paths through the Mediterranean scrub and reach panoramic points overlooking the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About half an hour&#8217;s drive north is <\/span><b>Gallipoli<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the &#8220;beautiful city&#8221; of the Ionian Sea. The lively seaside town has a characteristic historic center perched on an island. You can walk along its panoramic walls and visit the majestic <strong>Angevin castle<\/strong> that guards the entrance to the village. Gallipoli is also famous for its nightlife: after your day at the beach you can dine in a small restaurant or sip a drink in a lounge bar on the port, while the city comes alive with music and lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing about 40 km south of Torre Mozza you reach <\/span><b>Santa Maria di Leuca<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the extreme tip of Salento.
