Spiaggia di Pantanagianni Grande is a coastal site in Puglia characterized by fine golden sand and shallow turquoise waters. It serves as a primary beach area for the local village of Pantanagianni in the Carovigno municipality. The shoreline is bordered by low-lying dunes and scrubland, providing a natural transition between the Adriatic Sea and the coastal plains. The beach offers a mix of private lidos providing chair rentals and stretches of free public access. Natural vegetation surrounds the site, contributing to a semi-wild landscape compared to more urbanized Italian beaches. The area is situated on the Adriatic coast between the major historical hubs of Ostuni and Brindisi.

Avoid leaving valuables in vehicles parked in unmonitored roadside areas. Do not attempt to park on the fragile dune vegetation.
Beach services such as lifeguards and rental umbrellas are primarily active from June through mid-September.
Public nudity is prohibited. Keep noise levels moderate in public zones to respect the natural, semi-wild environment.
