About Camping Punta Lunga

If your family holiday is all about sea, nature and authentic Puglia, Camping Punta Lunga is well worth considering. Set directly on the Adriatic coast, just 2 kilometres north of Vieste, this terraced holiday village and campsite nestles among pine and eucalyptus trees overlooking two beautiful sandy bays. The setting is wonderfully Mediterranean: sea views, rocky promontories, shady woodland and the historic town of Vieste close by. There is no swimming pool here—and that is actually part of the appeal. Why spend your holiday beside a pool when you can walk straight onto the private beach? The two bathing bays measure approximately 200 and 150 metres, with shallow sandy seabeds that work particularly well for families. What can you do besides swim? The Gargano Surf Center offers windsurfing and watersports, while beach volleyball, fitness, table tennis, children's entertainment and a playground add variety. There is also a restaurant, bar, snack bar and supermarket, so you have the essentials without constantly leaving the resort. We particularly recommend Punta Lunga for families with children aged 4–14, because the combination of shallow sea, watersports, animation and easy access to Vieste gives everyone something to enjoy. Recent guest feedback repeatedly praises the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful beach, restaurant and helpful staff.

Frequently asked questions

WiFi is available at Camping Punta Lunga, but only in common areas and some specific zones on a paid subscription basis.

Surroundings

Camping Punta Lunga occupies a spectacular Adriatic coastal setting on the Gargano Peninsula. Pine and eucalyptus woodland covers the terraces, while limestone cliffs, rocky headlands and sandy coves shape the shoreline. The sea is exceptionally clear, with panoramic views towards Vieste. Inland, Mediterranean scrub gradually rises towards the green slopes of the Gargano National Park.

“Choose your accommodation according to how much you enjoy walking. Punta Lunga is arranged on terraces, with some bungalows and mobile homes higher up in the pine-covered section and camping areas closer to the sea. The higher accommodation areas are wonderfully shaded and peaceful, but there are steps and slopes between different parts of the site. For families, we would make the beach your main daytime base. The private bay is one of Punta Lunga's biggest advantages, and the gently shelving sandy water makes it particularly convenient for children. Beach equipment is available at an additional charge, so check what is included with your accommodation before arrival. If your children are adventurous, definitely investigate the Gargano Surf Center. Windsurfing, kayaking and pedal boats are available, while beach volleyball adds an easy option for teenagers. The combination means that older children do not have to spend the entire holiday simply lying on the beach. We also recommend walking along the coast towards San Lorenzo. The scenery is beautiful, and the route gives you a different perspective of the Gargano coastline. For a family day out, take a boat excursion from Vieste to see the sea caves—the coastline between Vieste and Mattinata is particularly dramatic. For meals, make use of the on-site restaurant and beach bar at least once. Guest feedback consistently highlights the food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. The on-site supermarket is also useful for breakfast supplies, snacks and self-catering essentials. Finally, remember that pets are not permitted at Punta Lunga, so this is important when choosing the holiday for your family.”
