Grotta delle Conchiglie
Next to Grotta Sfondata, still in Mulino d’Acqua: a wide entrance and an inner tunnel you can swim through, with just enough headroom to breathe.
At a glance
- Wide entrance and inner tunnel
- Same bay as Mulino d’Acqua
- Seen from the boat
We skirt it in sequence with the Mulino and Grotta Sfondata, on the same cliff face.
In calm seas the entrance and the contrast between pale rock and dark water at the threshold are clear.
You admire it from the boat — the inner tunnel is for swimmers.

NORTHNORTH EXTENDEDMulino d'Acqua bay
A bay set between cliffs north of Otranto, named after an old water mill that once stood here and is long gone — only the name remains. The beach has largely disappeared, and the bay is best seen from the sea.
NORTHNORTH EXTENDEDGrotta Sfondata
In Mulino d’Acqua bay there is a cave with a collapsed roof: from the water you see the hole to the sky and the light pouring in from above.
NORTHNORTH EXTENDEDBaia Morrone
A tight cove between two walls, halfway between Mulino d’Acqua and Baia dei Turchi. More enclosed than its neighbour, less crowded.
