The Ponente beach extends to the west of the Municipality including the "Sotto la Costa" beach, the Santa Barbara bay beach and the Lido del sole beach, where most of the Rodian tourist infrastructures are concentrated.

Along the way, you can admire the phenomenon of karst that has shaped the Gargano for millennia.
