Marina di Lesina

Marina di Lesina sits on Lake Lesina, a roughly 22km-long, very shallow brackish coastal lagoon (average depth about 0.7m, max under 2m) separated from the Adriatic by a narrow dune barrier and connected to the sea via two small canals. The extreme shallowness and lagoon setting make it a flat-water alternative to the open Gargano coast, popular for freestyle.
