Santo Stefano (near Otranto) is a rocky Adriatic headland and small beach offering dramatic coastal compositions: fractured limestone cliffs, turquoise coves, and wide open sea that catches vivid sunrises. Best at dawn and golden hour for warm side-light and low contrast; blue hour reveals long-exposure seascapes with smooth water and star trails in clear seasons. Access by car is straightforward from Otranto; parking is limited in summer so arrive early or visit off-season/weekday. No entry fee
